    Ok , Maybe weeing in her wellies wont see £27 dropping through your door . So , How about sort of a round robin generic Christmas Card . Same for every house , including hers . Paraphrase the following ” Big thank you to all who actually contributed to the upkeep of the lane , Merry Christmas “
    Just enough to leave it hanging so every one knows someone didnt pay up.
    Shame her into paying .
    Unless she is brassic , then leave it to the karma police

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

    Even if she had come round and apologised, saying she really couldn’t afford it because it was Christmas and given me something of no monetary value (a homemade Christmas card for example) I would have been happy.

    Did you explain this to her? If not, I would pop round and make it plain that this is the case – and be prepared to stump up the money. I would expect some gratitude even if she has no cash.

    It is incredibly rude and inconsiderate, but as above there are more important things in life.

    Wee in her wellies

    Or even better; poo in them. Then, right, when she puts them on it’ll squidge between her toes. 😀

    Mind you if she don’t wear them for a while, it might dry up and harden then she could just tip it out onto the floor and it’ll go bonk! as it lands.

    If it really dries out, it might just crumble to dust and not smell at all.

    I’m not sure it’ll turn white though.

    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. 😉

    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.

    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..

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

    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 😆

    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.

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

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

    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.

    This ^^

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    What keeps you warm on nights like this when you’re out prowling around naked?
