MMIL19

Isn't It just so true: if you stir things up, change the established order of things, agitate a bit, you bring out the worst in things (people) No hornets nest will remain benign if you hit it with a shovel; you'll get stung! Mr B, the attached neighbour of MMIL occupies that hornets nest! Pillar of local society is Mr B, comfortably off, owns shops you know, and his arse has graced many a local committee, making decisions on behalf of others, altruistic to a fault. Mmmmm Since he got wind of the sale he's been busy, not as you might expect, making sure MMIL interests are being served. No, he's been doing his level best to get anything he can out of her before she leaves. After countless years of peaceful coexistence he's become Mr B!- read, Hornet. I grant him instant Kama. The sale of MMIL's house has agitated the status quo, disturbed the peace and angered Mr Bee. Already he's had the shared chimney repointed at MMIL's expense blaming recent stormy weather, now the garden party-wall is suddenly in a dangerous condition and a bill of £1700 has appeared, being half the cost of the work. Not such a nice man as MMIL thought. The demand, not discussed with MMIL but delivered by hand to her solicitor. Not hard for him to find out which local legal MMIL was instructing! He's clearly intent upon screwing as much out of MMIL as he can before the sale is completed. Hopefully, it won't be long now....the long awaited boiler certificates have arrived and we're asking that this coming Friday should be the day everything can be stitched up.....do I sound optimistic? We'll see; I seem to have aged since lasts we met!
