Great idea Lynda. At the end of the day I just want to mind my own business and live in peace. If I won the lottery I would rent the place out to as many undesirables as I could I think , just like her and let her get on with it. Bliss eh. Diane

I used to be friendly with her, until she came round here shouting and starting on me because my husband had parked outside her house. This was nearly three years ago. I basically by this point had had enough of her antics, she had been taking my at the time 14 year old daughter round druggies houses looking for the husband etc., my daughter is special needs and she made out to me that her son was the same and she'd done courses and fostered children and all sorts. Really made me think she was helping my daughter. total manipulation. I now think she lives in cloud cuckoo land. She really is a piece of work. After the letter was sent she said to my husband he had a problem because he is married to me! She really is a jekyl and hyde and I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. After the car parking incident our car was first vandalised with paint stripper and then again two nights later badly scratched. It cost us £275 in excess charges to be repaired. Too much has gone on to try and sort it out with her, she had the cheek to say to my husband she wanted to be friends and then when he took a photo of the garden out to show her what was ours, told him to go away. She lives in her own world and is just a taker, whatever she can get for nothing, when I spoke to her before all the upset she was claiming invalidity benefit while doing a window cleaning round amongst other things. She is an attention seeker and when it doesn't go her way thats when she starts something else. Diane

Hi Diane,You sure have a problem there with them.There is a website called Neighbours from hell,I think thats it and it gives advice.I remember looking at it when my husbands ex-wife tried a few stunts on us as they give widespread advice.I actually prefer doing a little DIY revenge but I cant go into that! As I say,crispy fried duck sounds good on a cold autumn evening!Sorry to all those animal lovers!

Oh Dear, Solicitors Letters. The only one laughing over all of this is the solicitor. How did it get this bad. We had a dreadful neighbour who was a stone mason . He banged stone for 14 yrs and would not give an inch. He ignored all pleas for a bit of piece and even went on banging all day when I had my stroke. We are all now twenty years older and everything has changed. He is cheerful and kind and will have a chat. He came into my garden at my invitation to inspect a vine he was growing up the party wall which was going UNDER our bathroom roof, and cut the thing down like a lamb. How did the change come about Well I changed my attitude to him. It all began by chance. arriving home from work I had no where to park and parked across his garage. He was out like a shot all aggression and ready for a fight. I was too tired to argue and ignored his tirade and said HALLO SWEETHEART, I KNOW IT IS A NUISANCE I WILL MOVE IT THE MINUTE THERE IS A SPACE. and went in doors I DID MOVE MY CAR AS SOON AS I COULD. A few weeks later his wife fell and I told her that she must always bang on the wall if she needs help. They have become more and more chatty and send round flowers and are much more cooperative now. hE LAUGHS AND WAVES IF WE PASS WHEN WE ARE OUT. Is there no common ground from which you can begin to improve things. Bake her a cake and go round and say Here, this has gone on too long lets be friends. If she doesn't want to then you are no worse off than you are now. And it may just change everything. Give it a try Rose Sorry I sound a bit like Pollyanna

That's the thing. We can't afford to move now, but in the future I have no idea what will happen. It's like Steptoes farmyard!!, no mistake Steptoes yard crossed with old McDonalds farm. When we got back from holiday friday evening, we pulled up and her front garden (they are only about three foot) was filled up with old broken bits of wood, we thought whats she up to now. Turned out the lady opposite had her roof redone, all this wood off the roof was in a skip, when they came to collect it she was out like a shot and pulled it all out, to burn on her fire. Its all rotten and full of nails. It really is like living in a soap opera.!! Dianex

Love it Dave, Another neighbour put a dead rat through her letterbox, as she was fed up with all the rats her so called farmyard encourages. Her husband is a villain always in trouble with the police and 30 years younger than her, from Romania, only married her to stay in the country. When he went to prison a couple of years ago we hoped she'd get rid, but she's that desperate she holds onto him. So we have to be a bit careful as we don't want anymore revenge, the car was vandalised a couple of years ago after we parked out side her house a few times. She thinks she owns the road too. Diane

I had this problem at the house I used to live in, they took down my fence, supposedly to put up a new one up, which took forever, and their hens kept coming in my garden and making a mess everywhere. Anyway my side gate "accidently" blew open one day and the hens got out on the road, surprisingly the fence went back up then. Have you looked in the deeds of your house, most these days state that you cant keep ducks etc. June xx

We have planted conifers on the main bit, but this area she has erected this so called fence right next to our paving stones so we have no way of permanantly putting anything there. We are going to make a sort of screen with that bamboo matting type of stuff onto a framework attached to posts in concrete pots, what a pallaver!!! They have obviously got under the fence as they can't do much else. She still has about 7 ducklings as well as the ducks chickens and around 6 cats, two parrots and until last week a dog. Apparently this died last week after eating a stone, it had an operation, who paid for that I wonder, and died after. No doubt another dog will be on the scene pretty soon. Dianex

Hi Jo, well according to our soliciter when we bought the house it was hers, but she wanted to apparently put another one up, although it was perfectly fine, on our side of the boundary. we had photos as proof the land was ours, only a few inches but she wouldn't have it. It's caused a lot of hassle for several weeks she had taken parts of it down leaving her chickens out and the dog to come through.

Who's fence is it hers or your? If it's yours she has no right to pull it down in the first place. Jo.

I have a true neighbour from hell, I have posted about before regarding the garden fence. After I sent a soliciters letter to her she took most of the fence down out of spite and replaced it with some old wire netting stuff she had in the garden not even 3 foot high. Anyway her obvious reason was spite and to get us to erect a new fence. When she took the old fence down she dug out around 4-6 inches of dirt in our garden so as far as we are concerned there was no way we were going to put another one up and lose more garden. I have gone out there today to find one of her ducklings in our garden. There may have been more earlier, the paving stones next to the fence had several splodges of ducks poo!! I have gone and washed it all down and discinfected it all. I am totally fed up with it all. She must have known it/they were there as a piece of bread had been thrown over. What would you do to deter them Diane
