Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

[MalteseFalcon]

Absolutely furious. A neighbour who has been nothing but trouble since moving in has now made an application to extend the property and create an entire new 2 bed property. Am not happy about this at all, now going through the application and seeing if I can find a way to stop this happening. Over my dead body is this happening.

Is the neighbour right beside you Mark?

Typical BBC delaying the news because of the golf.

2 doors down, so whilst I won't get the absolute worst of the noise it is still going to create enough that it will drive me mad. All I can hope for now is that someone will take pity on me and offer me a job so I don't have to listen to it.

Mark it might not be as bad as you may think.

My neighbour (the nice one not tree lady) built an extension and it was not that bad Mark honestly, in fact it was up pretty quickly to wind and water tight, then the work started on the inside. If I had too say what was the loudest part of the works that would be the digging out the foundations which was done in the morning then the cement mixer came to fill in the hole.

Just try and remember it will come to an end, hopefully sooner than you think.

My mother (86) had a fall outside yesterday and was found by the next-door neighbour after a while when she couldn't get up. She's now in hospital for observation about a slow heart rate. Nothing broken or even bruised thankfully.

Real problem is that neither I nor my two sisters can get down there (West Cornwall) at the moment: I have no transport so the only option would be a very expensive anytime train ticket. I also have work that needs to be done and both sisters have business commitments that they can't cancell or cover short term. We'll have to try and arrange some transport for when the hospital discharges her.

Thanks Den. My younger sister is liaising with the hospital as she's done this before and quite frankly is much better at it than me as PR is her forté whereas I'm just a PBE.

Sorry to hear about your mum heero.

MY dad had always had low blood pressure and a slow heart rate but in his eighties it became a problem and I can't count how many times I charged over to his home 15 miles away to sort out his latest fall. He eventually had a pacemaker fitted at 86 and this worked a treat.

Having this happen to your mum when you are so far away must be terrible worrying so I hope she is relatively unscathed and that she can return home soon.

Thank you Jo.

They've got her in the cardiac unit at the Royal Cornwall (Trelisk). My older sister has got cover now (She's in the restaraunt trade) so she's going down tomorrow and will stay for some days until we're sure Mum's OK. My younger sister is keeping us updated.

Heero I'm so very sorry to that your Mum has had a fall, wishing your Mum a speedy recovery.
