Well the new neighbours have moved in!

[selfraising]

Some of you may remember me posting a thread that I was going to get new neighbours in the council house next door. Well they moved in yesterday! The 'wife' is 22 and went to school with my oldest daughter. She has two sons, Bradley and Marshall who must be about 1 and 2 years old plus a third one imminent! Extended family came round too driving a green van that at some point must have been a business van!!! Her dad looks like a long haired version of Rab C Nesbitt and has an alsation that is huge and just as hairy The mother is a little challenged in the attractiveness stakes and whistles through her tombstone teeth when she speaks! They have a white ford car with rear spoiler......nice
I am trying to make a huge effort to be neighbourly and welcoming but when I hear 'Marshall, get out of the f.....ing way' or 'Marshall, I told you not to f.....ing touch that' every few minutes, I'm not impressed.
I think maybe the Royale family have moved in next door.......goes to look for pills

I hope they settle in swiftly and quiet down too for you.

I am not looking forward to either: next door being sold (it has been for sale for a while) and us getting new neighbours or; having to move and settle in a whole new area

[RedThorn]

Think you best double up on the dose there Selfraising..... Was hoping that you would get nice neighbors! Still early days... fingers crossed that once she settles, things quieten down and improve.

If they don't quieten down, just turn up the stereo and sing silly songs while you are in the garden - you never know, you might manage to chase them away (or scare them so that they stay indoors quietly)

Could be worse hon, you could live next door to us! Loads of 18 yr olds in tents in the garden last night after eldests 18th. Language was dreadful!

Think I could manage that Fi for one night but think I might be in it for a long stretch! Don't like that sort of language used towards young kids either, its just not necessary. Not saying i never swore at my children but they were a lot older and I still don't use those sort of swear words towards them even now.

Ummm I may have used some of them at about 4 am this morning Good luck with the neighbours mate!

[butter fingers]

Sounds like normal sort of day i get around here all the time.
the upstairs maisonetteis empty and im dreading when new peple move in!
you hear the people going up their stairs front door is by my bedroom window so you hear any conversations you hear all upstairs noise,i cant even use my sterio because upstairs will be complaining the sound travels up the walls.The plumbing coninually leeks in to my house and fag bits flicked out their window landing by the front door!
i wont even mention any of the other neighbours or someone might feel sorry for me !

[selfraising]

Oh but I do feel sorry for you butter fingers its just inconsiderate. I'm dreading the good weather in a way. Have spent so much time trying to get the garden nice, somewhere to relax after work but not sure its going to be so relaxing now after all.

We have all had bad neighbours....We had one lot that every friday he would come home and a row would start and we woul hear every word for the next few hours.

I guess I've just been lucky in the past and will just have to make the best of it.

If it gets too bad and its a council house you can complain to the council. If its private rented complain to the landlord. Dont put up with it. If its privatly owned not a lot you can do apart from pleading to their better nature if they have one.

You can still complain to the council if the house is owner occupied, the unsocial behaviour unit (or whatever it may be called in your area) cover owner occupied as well as rented

[RowanStar]

or you can just put a spell on them, like i did with one of my neighbours

[Hashette]

Oh dear, Selfraising, sounds grim

Hope they quieten down when they settle in a bit. Fingers crossed
