Pillaged

[Stacey Steve]

Not a good day today!

Went to the allotments and where I had erected a cage over one of the cherry trees to stop the birds nicking the fruit, someone had pulled it down, presumably to find out if the cherries were ripe.

The rat traps had been thrown about 4-5 foot away from where they had been placed.

Went to the fruit cage and the door opens inward, well it did, who ever it was had forced the door outward, straining the hinges and twisting the hinge pillar.

No strawberries to pick now today and about half my raspberries gone.

Milo had 3 epileptic fits day before yesterday and now very "clingy" so where ever I wanted to work he was there in my way. When I knelt down to do anything, he was walking across my calves to get next to me.

I had been giving up smoking (been nagged since the mini strokes) but I've come home and had a ciggy. I'll have a bit of a rest and then I've got to go off to pack down the girl child's market stall for her (she's very petit and cannot reach to do the bars and sheets).

Think I'll have a few beers tonight (another thing that's supposed to be a no no for me now)

I'll go back over the lottie tomorrow and repair my door

That's despicable! It makes you wonder about some people

I can't say anything or do anything to make you feel better but

(((((HUGS)))))

I know you feel tempted, but if you give in to the beer & cigs the thugs will really have triumphed...be strong!

Gawd SS I hope the sods choke on your strawbs.

{{{{hugs from me}}}}}

[squashysu]

arr sorry SS, why cant we have things for us without numpties destroying everything??? makes me angry

[BilboWaggins]

Oh SS, I am so very, very sorry to read all this. You're the second person in as many days to have had allotment damage/theft. It really is becoming a problem, isn't it?

S'cuse the ignorance - is Milo a four-paws or a two-legs? Hope he is feeling better and you have good medical support for him.

[NOG]

You will probally find its people from your site..we have had to throw people off our plot for doing that.

[jackie j]

Thats so awful like Hayley B hope whoever took them chokes on them.

[dexterdoglancashire]

Sorry about your carp day. How horrible for you! Some people! I'd send you some of my strawberries if you lived closer. In the meantime, you'll have to put up with woofs! from Dexter.

[bobleponge]

That sucks. Bad news Steve.
Hope you manage to get everything fixed and sorted out. Nothing anyone can say really, its just carp.

[tricky]

terrible ss and Hayley
hope you have a better day today and i hope the scumbags get caught.

[petal]

Oh how infuriating! I had all my raspberries pinched last year - the thieves! It makes you so cross, allotments are hard work!

[shoreham_steve]

It sums up the intelligence of these muppets when they can't work out which way your door hinges !
Don't let it get you down - stay off the fags, they're deadly !

[Polly Fouracre]

Bad luck to whoever did this and calming thoughts for you. Try not to let it get you down, it'll come back on them eventually.

[Stacey Steve]

Been bumming around the house this morning, really did not fancy going down to the plots but have so much to do that I've got to go there soon. Load the strimmer and stuff for the compost bin in a minute and get myself off.

Thanks for all the support, I really only posted this though to get it off my chest as it were as I was so damned angry and that at present could really be deadly for me but my blood pressure has come down somewhat now so should be OK.
