      I am very observant. My OH on the other hand, not. Fact-story---- the outside light on the deck, I was tired of how it looked. So changed it, to a light that was totally different that the old one. It took him 6 months to say hey there is a new light there. when he is working in the gardens, he can't even notice a weed next to him, and pull the thing. I could get 3 inches cut off my hair, and no he does not notice it at all. I have passed my OH, in my car on a small country road, in my blue car, sunlight, my red hair and he does not notice.

          @rosebay - I am terribly sorry, I don't know how I missed your reply to my post - I've only just come across it. She sounds like a real fruit loop and I cannot understand why the council haven't done anything about her. I hope you are right and it's tailing off. Feel sorry for the daughter with a conscience. Hope it stays quiet for you x x

          Ah thanks for the reply. The council has some effect on her....for a while, then she starts up again. She is disturbed/can't be reasoned with.

          Yes I have now had 2 whole weeks free of garden vandalism! (Following on from reinforcing/further barricading the borders of my shed roof). I still slightly tense when I first dare to peer out into my back garden in the morning, but then it is such a joy to see everything as I left it i.e. stems not broken or items displaced or trash pushed into tight corners. I am hoping this will be the end to it now...she still messes around in the front garden but my back garden is my private sanctuary.
