Too much stress :-(

Hi everyone, not been on for a bit as have been busy sorting out ready for moving. Well, I'm all nearly packed, we should have been moving this weekend but the housing officer has found a couple of things wrong with the house we are moving to : there is a couple of door handles missing which she has to replace, her hedge is 12ft high and should be 6ft and she needs a fence panel puttin in on the front. I am so mad as these were things we were aware of and I thought we would be able to do it but they won't let us sign or move until she has done them. Well she is a single mum of four and can't do the hedge, so we are going up this weekend to do it for her. I think its stupid after all we would have done it anyway when we move in. So now we have to wait until the work has been done and then wait for the housing officer to inspect it and then we can sign. I am so mad as it would have been perfect this weekend as its bank holiday here and hubby has 3 days off, instead we are going to have to rush,she better get it sorted next week as I have had enough totally here-next problem...
Our total idiot neighbours now know we are moving and have just been total idiots and goodness knows what has happened but now half the other neighbours are being funny with us and all talking to them instead. I feel so intimidated and its horrible. Yesterday I got a nasty look off one of the other neighbours and for what I do not know. I text my so called friend who is one of our neighbours and asked her what is goin on and what I have done wrong and she just said she didn't know really and she didn't want to bother me before we go. I knew she would be off with me as she doesn't want me to anyway but all this is damned ridiculous and I can't cope with it. Its really getting me down and I am feeling like I don't want to go out even though I haven't done anything wrong. My friend said to not stand for it and stand up for myself but I just can't be bothered. I just want to go, its upsetting me so much, the sooner the better. Please send me vibes for next weekend. xx

for the weekend hun. Ignore the neighbours its there lose at the end of the day, you will be so much more happier once you have moved x

Hang in there. Those neighbors aren't worth you getting stress out over. You will soon be moved and won't have to deal with their rudeness and jealousy! Think about where you were 6 months ago when your biggest wish was to get out of there, and think about where you are now---actually getting out of there!!!
You will probably never know what their problem with you is, but don't let it get to you. You are about to start a new life.
Does the lady who is living there now have to be responsible for getting those items fixed?? If you were going to take care of them after you moved in can you take care of them now before you move in instead?
I'm so sorry you have to wait like this. It's very frustrating. I'm sending vibes to you. I know it will be worth the wait...after all, Harvey will be there to greet you

I know what it feels like to be uncomfortable in your own neighborhood. Not too much longer and its over. Freedom!!! Till then, enjoy your hubby time this weekend since he'll be home. Listen to music that makes you happy and reminds you of good times you've had, that should take some of the edge off. If leaving home is too stressful because of your neighbors don't go out if you don't have too. Play and give loves to your kitties and relax because moving will be a hectic time.

Good news, the lady who we are swapping with phoned me to say it will definetely be next week We have a lot of work to do this weekend but it will all be worth it and it gets us out of the house this weekend. I'm feeling a lot better now, it just hurts when so called friends are nasty to you and for no reason. I hate two faced people, atleast I know who my real friends are. Thanks everyone.xx

don´t give up...

for you!

GREAT NEWS!!! It will be over soon

I subscribe to BBC Gardener's World and I now that there are hedge restrictions. As a landscaper its going to be hard to take it down right from 12-6 ft so do it in two steps as the pieces will be easier to handle. Rig up a string line so you know where the 6 ft mark is and really you should take it to 5 ft as its still going to grow this summer! Hopefully you have a place to dispose of the brush?? If you have several people (at least 3) it should go fairly quickly.

Just remembet you are moving really soon and will have much better neighbors.

Good Luck.
