    Im wondering at what time is reasonable to hoover my bedroom. I think 10.30. The reason I am asking is that I know my neigbours sleep till lunchtime. They dont work and in a way I wanted to do it at 8am. Reason being is that they keep me awake late at night running up and down the stairs and banging doors. Usually the 15 year old. Im being horrible arent I?


    Presumably, with a 15 year old they choose not to work? Whatever the reason they have a duty to be considerate to you and they aren't being. 10:30 is a perfectly reasonable time.

    If they do make an issue of it at all - keep a diary, dates, times, noises, complaints.

    Hope it doesn't come to that!:D

    Hi

    I still haven't caught up with the thread:rolleyes: , i'm sure i'll get there by the end of the week.

    I got a bit carried away looking for things to sling from my wardrobe. I put 3 items of clothing in the bin as they were past it, 4 items to go to my sister, 8 items to the charity shop and 8 items for ebay.

    Morning everyone. A very wet one here.

    Im wondering at what time is reasonable to hoover my bedroom. I think 10.30. The reason I am asking is that I know my neigbours sleep till lunchtime. They dont work and in a way I wanted to do it at 8am. Reason being is that they keep me awake late at night running up and down the stairs and banging doors. Usually the 15 year old. Im being horrible arent I?

    Nope I don't think you are. I'd hoover whenever I felt like doing it. Even if it was 6.00am in the morning. Our neighbours are a pain in the neck as well. Up till all hours.Then they don't get up till lunchtime either. None of them work.:rolleyes:

    The daughter's been kicked out and so stands at the garden gate at 11, 12 ,1 in the morning loudly whispering 'Mum':rolleyes: I suppose because she wants something.

    Hoover when you want.

    Morning all

    Hope everything works out Soappie

    Beautiful baby embb

    Welcome back AnW'sMum

    Hope bo is doing OK.

    Two loads of washing done, including my bedding, but hung upstairs because it's lashing down and blowing a gale.

    All bedrooms tidied, dusted and polished and vacuumed. Landing, toilet and bathroom vacuumed. Bathroom mirror cleaned.

    Dusted living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Watched Jericho and the phone only went three times. Why does it always take me an hour and a half to watch an hour programme? Hate the phone.

    See you at 12 for the next HHC Viv - should just about give me enough time to wash my hair and get dressed if I'm super quick - then I can do the windows etc.
