shazz - thanks for the advice, we checked it out, rang consumer affairs then called the ombudsman and a Bill was passed that states that if the council property is greater than 1 hectare they are exempt from the fencing act, the reason we are pset about it is cause the soil is extreley hard like cement so to dig holes for the fecne posts is gonna cost a fair bit of money to get a machine to dig the holes for us.....thanks again to you and your DH.

sheree - Gosh that water must have been so cold! bummer about the power outages, we had one a couple of weeks ago that went for most of the day, come back on for night time thank goodness, hope you dont get any more for a while.

i am so tired, i think its mainly cause of the hayfever tablet i took this morning. Archie did really well in his big bed lat night, only had to go inot him once cause he got disorientated and banged his head on the wall, but he went straight back to sleep, he was up at 5:30 though which didnt excite me too much. Putting him down for his day sleep today has been tiring, i think he came out of the bedroom at least 40 times, i ended up shutting his door, he had a bit of a cry and went to sleep, magic! Mum is picking him up when he wakes up and taking him to her friends farm for the afternoon to see all the animals. I am very grateful as i think DH needs some one on one time after the stressful week he has had.

Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend planned
