turpsToday is one of those days.
Started with hassle with the bank, trying to sort finances out is a *bad* thing. Then, but this is unbelievable. I had a visit from the environmental health people as someone had reported our rabbit for smelling!
I know exactly who it is, it's the old couple that live next door. They reported us for driving our car down to the house over about 20 foot of pavement. We have to do that as our house has no road/parking area next to it. We have to park behind the next row of houses so when we bought our main shop each month we'd drive over that little bit of pavement to get to the back gate. James can't carry anything because of his disability and it kills me to carry a full shop, bottles of pop, vegetables etc from where we park. But we were reported for doing that and now I have to pay to get the shopping delivered.
But this crap about the rabbit. She's *not* dirty, she's a normal animal who runs round the garden. She's cleaned out each week and for them to say she smells is pure pettiness.
The man who came out understood, he just suggested cleaning her more often if they make a fuss. But he still has to come out every week for a while to check and that pisses me off. He said he wishes if neighbours had a problem they'd just knock on the door and say, not get officials involved. I so agree.
I think they've got a problem because we bought our house, it used to be council property and there's kids on the estate now. See where I live used to be all older people but now there's loads of kids here.
I've had a plan to fence the front garden off for a while, it's bigger than the back and that way all Corey's outside toys can go there. And do you know what? I'm going to buy the biggest swing set, as well as the swing he has now and set it up next to their fence. Plus his seesaw, slide, sandpit and paddling pool, and *any* of his friends are welcome to use them. I used to tell them to keep the noise down when they played in the garden. But fuck that now, they get the authorities on me and they take the backlash. Bloody busybodies!
