It is.I'll try and keep this as short as possible
Growing up i wanted to join the RAF, was an active member of the ATC from the age of 14 thru 21, that was pretty much my life back then, made it to CWO and all that garb...
30 years later (I'm getting old!) lunch time rolls round and i get a rather long text from my daughter (She's 19), saying she wants to join the military
She's pretty adventurous and very outgoing, but i have lots of mixed feelings, some probably that border selfishness mixed in with apprehension
I've always supported my kids and guided them best i can with what i know, i wouldn't stop her - of course, but feel like i lost a bit of her today as she's grown up and all that
I hope that's a natural feeling..?
Most certainly is.....I'll try and keep this as short as possible

We don't really have them for long and during the short time we have we bring them up to be the adventurous, outgoing people they are. It's very much what being a good parent is. Doesn't make it easier, obviously, but it sounds like you did a good job.....I'll try and keep this as short as possible

the question is how much money are you talking? which then becomes a question as to whether or not it is worth the stress for you.Does anyone have any experience of making a claim through Small Claims Court? Any advice on whether it is worthwhile using it as a means to recover money owed, given that there is a fee to use the process? We have tried to be reasonable and given this person/business plenty of time (6 months) to settle amicably, but they have consistently fobbed us off with excuses about why they haven't delivered what they said they would and what we paid for. I've completely lost patience and have now demanded they pay up. And crickets. So Small Claims Court seems our only option now.
Thanks for the response. It isn't for a huge amount, but having paid out money to them to provide something which they then didn't provide, and the chain of communications we have had with them, it feels like they have operated a fairly clever scam operation. A successful claim would get us back about 5 or 6 times the cost of pursuing the claim, so seems worth it. That doesn't take into account the cost of potentially having to use bailiffs to enforce the claim, however. Doing nothing and allowing them to effectively steal/defraud us doesn't seem right though.the question is how much money are you talking? which then becomes a question as to whether or not it is worth the stress for you.
ultimately, you can get a CCJ in your favour. You need to be aware it is then your responsibility to enforce it. The court doesn't, so you then move on to the next step.
If you get the CCJ, what would you then do next? I am assuming it is a business you are referring to? So you'd then be looking at either engaging bailiffs to enforce it, or issuing a statutory demand depending on how much the debt is for.
I have one. I don’t have time to kill the weeds, scrape the moss a get rid of all the leaves and shit before pressure washing it. I used to do it every year but now it would take me a week to do it. And I just don’t have that time spare.Just buy a pressure washer. They're fun.
I did that once before and then the neighbours became my problemWhack your pressure washer up to full blast, the leaves, moss and shit will either be the Councils or your neighbours problem
Jet wash them as wellI did that once before and then the neighbours became my problem
To be fair two of them are in their eighties so could do with moistening upJet wash them as well
