[Closed] What would you do?

Why not just go round when she's in, knock on her door and her nicely for your £27? She might give you £27 in cash, or a cheque or might not be able to pay. Whatever happens please, please update us as quickly as you can.

I thought you northern types were all refreshingly straightforward and stuff, didn't realise there are little yorkshire princesses too. 😉

That over-reaction is about what I've come to expect from JY

Dig a new pothole the same width as the others were, but 10 feet deep. Hopefully she'll fall in and drown herself to death. Finally, use any left over material to fill the hole back in. Then kill her pets and burn her house down if you're still angry.

Or set fire to Elfnsafety and make me feel pleasantly contented over Christmas.

Or creep around into her back garden and smash her back door in, pouring white dulux all over the walls as punishment.

Or just put it down to experience, not fussed which to be honest.

😆

Chill out M_F. Stress is a killer. You don't want your family to have to contact this guy:

She may have no money, having just spent the last few peenies on keeping the heat on, and getting a few luxuries for christmas from the local pound shop.

or pehaps she wouldnt lie still long enough for you to cover her in ready mixed tarmac.

i understand where youre coming from, its not about the money, its the principle of not being told the truth.
its simple bad manners, all it would take is 'im really sorry, i dont have any money just now' etc.
id say try and forget it over christmas, but ask her again in the new year.

folks occasionally owe me money.. i look at it like this.. i dont need the money desperately but... my kids eat about 30 quid a week its a tenner each for after school clubs which is easier manning up and knocking on a door and being blunt or telling the kids no food or guitar lessons this week ..

you ve done the graft now get the cash.. cos one things certain she wont be on mumsnet worring how to break it to you that she still owes you 27 quid..

Liking the responses now though - making me smile:-)

Forget about it till the new year then if she still hasn't paid up have a wee party for all your other neighbours apart from her, that'll teach her the tight bitch 😆

I did that at the weekend and she promised to pop a cheque round that night.

Then gut her like a stinking fish

Wait till it rains and all the holes reappear there will be an angry mob baying for blood.

Tar and feather her seems a simple solution.

Has the OP's job been snagged yet?

Dig potholes in her part of the road

As above. Bury her. Make sure theres no sharp edged diamond ring left on her finger and use quality 3M parcel tape.

Everytime you see her point and shout 'Paid-0'

This is obviously causing you a problem so go and speak to her about it or just MTFU and move on with life

Job Done

Is she fit?

Go round and ask to pay you off by giving you a right seeing to?

I would pop round after Christmas and just politely ask again.

Not worth getting steamed up just yet but after 3 days hard graft I'd make bloody sure I got it eventually and presumably she will get paid at the end of the month. The non-payment to her neighbour sounds like she makes a habit of it. DON'T LET HER OFF!

Bombers.....it's the only way to resolve neighbourly disputes.

Ask yourself, what would Flanders do?

Joolsburger - loving the pictorial revenge!

chillout FFS - you seem to get so wound up about stuff. IIRC this is at least the third post about your private road. there was somone parking on it and claiming bits with white stones. you couldn't get it agreed to repair it. FFS one person hasn't paid up straight away? Get a grip. Save your angst for important things

dig a trench across the entrance to her drive.

Save your angst for important things

If you continue to maintain the road for x amount of time can't you make a legal claim for the land? a work colleague is doing similar on a patch of grass next to her house, but that may be a local byelaw that doesn't apply to your situation.

Set up a toll and tell her others have paid for season passes

Go round in the evening on Christmas day, and take any money/gift-cards people sent to her as Christmas presents.

That has made my day 😆

Nice.

I bet you don't need to spend much on heating, what with all that hate keeping you warm.

You sad, pathetic nomark.

Invoice her - first step to recovering the money via small claims court

or just a poster at the entrance to the road

'wanted, have you seen this woman, dead or alive, reward £27 you tight cow'

What keeps [i]you[/i] warm on nights like this when you're out prowling around naked?

Firebomb her it's the only way. I would suggest nuking from orbit, but that might damage your nice new tarmac.

If you don't "need" it, then what's the problem? Some right effin moaners on here! 🙂 usually anything like this is like hearding cats so having 1 non payment meaning you are 27 quid out of pocket sounds like a result.... unless she's your only neighbour... I'm which case unlucky 😀

Either way tho if your loaded consider it a gift to help her out.

The mistake made was not building in any contingency. If you'd assumed 2 people wouldn't pay and priced accordingly, I don't suppose any of those who have paid would have objected and you'd have got it for free.

Take her on a climbing holiday and see if your mate sleeps with her?

As usual you aren't actually recalling previous posts correctly and as I have told you before I don't make shit up so basically your post is utter bollocks which is probably - as I am beginning to realise - the same for most of your posts.

Well this is the one about your neighbour parking his van on it and claiming bits with white stones.

mastiles_fanylion - Member

1 - he parks his van on the access road which means it is a squeeze for other vehicles to get by (which they have a legal right to do)
2 - he puts lots of stones out to mark his property's boundary adjacent to where he parks his van

So I don't think that is actually wrong.

this thread is the third one at least about your shared drive - and one was at least in part about what I said.

so no need to be quite so snippy - you really need to chill out a bit 🙂

Well the first example I am having a laugh about a mentalist neighbour and the other is a post about advice so you aren't exactly representing what I said accurately - in neither post was I in need of being chilled out unlike on this occasion.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of time and effort some people put into their arguments on this forum. Both in the form of subject research and trawling through old threads to find one or more posts to 'prove' a point.

Quite staggering. I feel I must be lacking in some sort of fibre in that I just can't be arsed.

Woody. You just don't 'Hit Big' ™. Face it, we can't all be Internet Gods.

Only took me a couple of minutes to prove MF wrong.

MF - you certainly come over as angry and would up about stuff like this all the time.

So you thought that the repairs would cost £50 per person and you ended up paying £54, dry your eyes and get over it, its not worth worrying about. Get cash up front next time, lesson learnt. Merry Christmas!
