Family Night In

Terrie came round in the afternoon just after I had finished cleaning the house. Kate and Nigel needed to go shopping, so they left Woozle with me and she was as good as gold and full of fun. Its so nice to see her well again. The virus she had seemed to last forever. Michelle, Richard, Josie and Steve have the bug too and its really not very nice. I am still recovering. Feeling pretty OK except for deafness in the right ear and a cough. Poor Michelle phoned. She was at work and she sounded dreadful. She went to work because she knows the company would have difficulty finding a replacement to work a Friday night shift.



See this little imp in her "house"? I told you she was full of fun this evening. This is the Woozle we know and love so well.



She went to a Christmas party this morning at Home Start in Dover. Pfizers had bought a whole lot of kids toys and Woozle got a Fisher Price telephone.

The man who owns the flat upstairs has moved and rented the flat out to some people. He owns the garden, forecourt and driveway, but everyone in the block has a 'right of way' to walk through the rear garden to access the Park behind the block, plus to walk on the forecourt to put garbage in the Wheelie Bin.

The upstairs owner has rented the forecourt with its parking space to a commercial company who have been parking lorries in the driveway. They are huge, and cause the following problems:
1. No one can access the communal Wheelie Bin.
2. The dustmen won't be able to get to the Wheelie Bin to empty it.
3. Andy upstairs can't get his bicycle past the lorry.
4. Caelyn can't get Wendy's pram past the lorry.
5. My elderly mother with arthritis and a dodgy heart has to go to next door's garden and climb over the wall to get to my front door and
6. I can't get my Mobility Scooter in or out, so I am stuck here. I wouldn't be able to climb the wall to get out through next door's garden either. I'm sure they don't want people using their garden like that either.

The block is run by Circle Management, who are apparently not interested according to Andy-with-the-bicycle. Today he asked me how to get in touch with my landlord who is the Freeholder. The other flats in the block are owned by people on a Leasehold basis, and before Mr Upstairs moved out and rented the flat upstairs, I was the only tenant in the block.

This is a most unsatisfactory situation but I have a feeling it could be sorted out without too much fuss.
