I hope you manage to sort out your problems soon. There's nothing quite like smuggly walking away knowing you're moving onto things they can only dream of. So I gather Angel.

So much so that I decided not to sue the man who drove into me and gave me recurrent back problems. I just don't think it's worth it. Sueing would also require us to admit to them that they had caused us more than a passing nuisance. I would never give them the satisfaction. And a bigger house would end up with us having another child...neither of us want a third but the only real thing that brings us back to our senses is that the house is too small for five people and a dog. Without that bad things could happen. :lol: Ah now there’s a probem with that…I hate the sueing culture.

You mean I've started in the middle of the story again! Shit and damn it! Sorry folks...Alasdair is right...there was a whole lot more to this than perhaps meets the eye and the pain and suffering we endured that Christmas night and almost every night thereafter kind of pales everything else that went before into insignificance, although most normal people, those who aren't afraid of what their neighbours can do with a stereo and two eyes, would have complained a long, long time before we did. As for how I can write all this at work...I figured since your other post about your dad had already reduced me to tears I may as well continue the streaky face look by dredging up these memories. I actually am hoping that writing this down will help me to deal with it so that when we have neighbours in the future I can approach them with a fresh outlook and besides, tears aren't so apparent when your eyes are streaming with a cold anyway...I don't think anybody notices me anymore anyhow...I'm the invisible woman! :) Damn it!

X-mas was the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak, this had been building and building for a long time and I had approached them previously, face-to-face to ask them to turn it down a bit. I just don't want you, the reader, to think that we're so anal as to get upset at the <em>audacity</em> of people to have a party at x-mas ... if this had been the only occassion I doubt we would have batted an eye-lid ... it was sustained, it was staring in our windows, it wasn't being able to walk down the path to the house because our neighbours had planted their deck chairs all over the place and were getting bevvied (or just plain drunk if your prefer), it was dreading days (and nights) when their soccer teams were playing, it was bonfires in the middle of the day (on communial ground) in a built up area with laundry hanging to dry, it was having to close all of the windows in the house in an attempt to block out the smoke and noise on the hottest days of the year ... it was the effect this sort of sustained and unneseccary anti-social and nasty behaviour has on people. I'm not a violent person (although I've had my moments :oops: ), but I could have, and seriously considered, doing some rather nasty things - and, I think, really a very nice person ... normally :twisted: I don’t know how you can type this out at work, it brings back too much for me just reading it … however, for the benefit of the viewing public I’d just like to make an additional point.
