If you decide to move up to the Highlands to get away from it all, I'll almost be your neighbour and I'm a very good neighbour!!! Sending big hugs to make you feel a bit more secure, and I hope that the new worker turns out alright once he's found his feet (and his conversational skills)!

Maybe it was because Nicola was here t...Thank you. Maybe it was because Nicola was here too, taking a backseat kind of thing. Like I said my head is in too big a mess for anything just now, I'll see what Nicola says about it. Found out a few hours ago the roofer is coming tomorrow afternoon. I won't have to interact with him, I'll shut the curtains and stay in the bedroom until he's gone. I still don't have a blind for the craft room so can't hide in there. He's supposed to not knock on the door, so hopefully he won't, couldn't handle that on top of everything else. It's very scary, but hopefully he won't take that long, there's not much needing done. And that'll be one job ticked off the list. Just the wood round the kitchen roof to paint but the worker can do that, once Nicola gets the spare paint back from the workman, he forgot to leave it.<br /><br />Someone stole a second hanging basket, the whole thing, the first was a few weeks ago. They're standing on the wall at the bushes side and reaching over the fence to get them. I only found out this one was also gone when I went out today because it's the one I can't see from my window. So not doing too good in my head. I've been getting trouble on and off since I moved here, someone very sneaky about it, it's not wee kids having a laugh or anything. All sorts of stuff, it's gradually escalated in seriousness of what they do, and now they're stealing, what's going to be next. It's certainly not kids that have stolen my tomato baskets, they couldn't reach. I have an idea of who it may be but with it always being silent and they're quick to run off after they've done something like throwing stones at my windows and door, throwing sticks on the roof, so even if I'm quick to look out there's no one there. They've also in the past stolen canes, slashed netting, cut string tying up bushes, big scrape down a railing, inside my garden, the day after they had been painted. We also suspect they threw some kind of weed killer over a pot and half a border that killed the whole lot within 24-48 hours. And we suspect earlier this year they threw seeds into a section of border as I had a carpet of seedlings coming up in one patch that were identical, not weeds and not self seeded from anything of mine. Before it escalated it was opening the gate and leaving it wide open or finding old rubbish, like old weather crisp bags and sweet wrappers and dumping it all in my garden. I haven't even done anything to anyone, the only person I talk to is my next door neighbour, and some people who must live up the road will stop and talk about my gardens when we're out there sometimes.
