Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
The price we a getting quoted for CCTV to mainly cover the front of house and driveway and a house alarm. Hubby thinks it's a great price and is really keen on the CCTV including our neighbours (the nice one's) as the CCTV will also cover their driveway. Why does he think we need CCTV personally I think it's a waste of money the house alarm I can understand but do we really need CCTV?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Got a stone chip on the drivers side in my line of sight today, Autoglass say they only repair if it isnt more than 10mm is size, well my chip is just over 10mm in size if you count the few hairline cracks running out of the main chip, so it looks like a £75 excess payment is needed for a new windscreen!

Unfortunately with modern bonded screens any flexing of the bodyshell will make cracks propagate. Looks like you'll need to bite the bullet.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Idiot drivers, again!
Driving to pick up Osem Jnr #2 down a narrow heavily parked side road. The guy coming towards me kindly pulled into a gap on his side of the road to allow me to pass but no sooner had he done that than the woman behind overtook him and found herself heading towards me with nowhere to go. I'm wondering what planet these people are on when they're behind the wheel - it's certainly not the one I'm on grrrr....

Sadly Osem its happening more and more these days as there are as many bad drivers as there are good drivers.

Given your story about your watchdog the other night I don't think you need an alarm Weenie....

Yup, a lot of people seem to be doing everything behind the wheel except paying attention to their actual driving and what's going on around them. They're far too interested in their phones, coffee, sandwich, makeup or whatever but I really don't know what this woman's issue was as I didn't see anything obvious. Just not thinking I guess...

In all seriousness neither do I Julian but hubby will get his own way on that one I think but atm I'm not budging on the CCTV. The CCTV idea imo will just be another toy/gadget so show his mates and a total waste of money as my opinion is they want the cars then they can take the cars as they a just chunks of metal with wheels I have no emotional attachment to them what so ever.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
A torrent that only seems to have one peer on a very slow link. "Fall of the Roman empire" The James Mason and Sofia Loren one. Still can't buy it (I think) so I'll just have to be patient.

I'd be wary of cctv given your run in with that neighbour, last thing you want is complaints to the authorities that is capturing footage of the street in front of your house from them even if it's isn't. Rather than spending money on that I'd go for a monitored intruder alarm, you might even get a discount if you ask for them to supply and install it to.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I think I will go for a alarm TD like you say she could complain and at the moment we a squeaky clean something that annoys so much that much I know as I have been told that she would love to get us on anything and is just waiting for an opportunity imo and i won't give her one, if we were to go for the CCTV it would not over look the neighbour we have had a dispute with as it would monitor our driveway as where I live my house is basically a corner plot, the CCTV would monitor our garage & driveway with some of our front garden although it would over look part of the other neighbours driveway. Hubby already discussed with our nice neighbours that we were thinking of getting CCTV and they were delighted with the thought that their cars would be covered. We get on very well with them and have each others house keys at all times ICE and to let the dog out when needed, they have had our spare key basically since we moved here and I theirs. I was working when we gave the key and I have never asked for it back. I have known them for years long before I moved here as she used to be the nurse at my doctors practice. TBH I think that is what is putting me of CCTV as the other neighbour would just love a excuse to make our lives awkward but since she speaks to very few people in the estate I can only imagine that she would phone the police on something like invasion of privacy as that was her excuse when the judge asked her what her reasons were for not removing the trees she replied privacy and the judge said not at the expense of someones property and well you know the rest interdict etc
Thanks TD for once again the good advice.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Oh no den.
Mine is part moan, part happy.
My manager called me this morning, and my heart sank. I wondered if I would be asked to work today but no, she called the wrong number. Dopey woman lol, gives me ammunition to tease her next time I see her.
