My garden is entirely enclosed by fairly high fences, I have wood chips on the flower beds and noticed a large number had been kicked all over the decking. Closer inspection led to the discovery of random objects (sweetcorn cobs and a dish cloth, presumably from someone's bin and a large hole dug under the fence from / to next door.


I cleared up the mess and filled the hole. The hole reappeared, along with more rubbish, again I filled. This time it apppeared again along with a load of old carpet!?!?!?! I have now put a tile against the fence filling the hole and packed earth hard against the tile! Seems to have done the trick last night, lets see if reinforcements are brought in tonight!


I am at a loss at what would do this and why it's so keen on my garden. Also perplexed by the starnge hoard that gets brought in and left! Any ideas anyone?

It must have been really good :-) Thought the carpet looked familiar ;-)

Its back!?!?!?!?!?!? I just looked out the window and the bark is all over the decking AGAIN!!! No idea how the gnomes/pixies/fairies/wombles/oompa loompas/squirrels or badgers have got through a roof tile!!! Will investigate further once downstairs - it's light outside, the garden should be safe! I will still ensure someone knows where I am and maybe get a friend to accompany me :-)


Wish me luck... its a dangerous place out there!

Finally a clue - now which Forumite is it again that likes to pinch other people's yellow duckies? Once you've worked that out, the culprit will be obvious.


By the way, TedMax, the trick with Wombles is not to let them get wet. It's the wet ones that turn into the bad Wombles and start hurling litter about the place and making rude gestures at the cat.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
