    We lived in Froghall and it was horrid. I do not scare easily but the year we lived there I decided not to talk to our neighbour about any of the unacceptable stuff they got up to as I was alone in the flat too often for my liking - and I know that it was definitely not the worst area of the city!

    Now we have fabulous neighbours who all said hello when we moved in and put bins back for each other when needed and accept parcels for you and then take them around as soon as they see you coming back.

    We even got a Christmas card from one today :T

    We were Stockethill, beside the hospital in a skyscraper. Fab big flat with brill pensioner age neighbours who loved having a little one on their floor to bring sweets to.
    Then the junkies got allocated flats and the whole building went into decline, no matter how hard the conceirge lady tried. Needles on the stairwell, even a dead body on a landing. Awful. My hubby worked shifts and one night there was a carry on on the landing and worked out it was a prostitute earning her money outside my door. Phoned hubby to warn him and he had to step round used condoms. Again the council did nothing and enviromental health wouldnt come out to remove them.
    So glad we moved from there, even though we live on a shoestring now, glad you are moved as well and are safe. i dont like even driving through some areas in Aberdeen!! Doors are locked and handbag under the seat
    So much for the oil capital of Europe :o

    My current neighbors are great, a middle aged couple one side and an old lady the other side. However, before we lived here we rented in an old Victorian terrace. We were top floor, apartment five. Number three was a horrible woman, mid-late twenties. I don't think her or her live in b/f worked. They used to make a lot of noise for all the other apartments. We complained to her a number of times, she used to just answer the door and say What?

    Ours haven't move in technically yet, but not sure if i'm a fan as of yet either. The most fantastic neighbours moved out. Middle aged, she had a kitchen business, home all the time, baked us cakes etc. Gutted really when they moved, as was the cat. Anyway, cue the day after the new ones got the keys. I really wasnt very well and it was a Sunday morning so thought, well at least we can have a sleep in. 6.30 AM ON A SUNDAY we were woken by them drilling, hammering, swearing, radio blarring and sawing in their bedroom, which ours is ajoined to. Hubby went round to say, any chance you could stay off a little as my wife is poorly and was confronted by "F**k off, we're trying to get sorted!" 6.30 AM on a Sunday? They also work through to 2am most mornings. We know this through the banging and crashing and shouting they do.
    They're nice houses in a nice area and lovely other neighbours. Just my luck we get attached to them!

    One suggestion for you, play her at her own game. Once your child is at school, invite a friend round and do totally over the top sex noises and then start over the top laughing. Very immature and but she should get the message!!
    I just this second laid eyes on her as I got home from college, she is quite frankly a chav, dripping in argos bling. Her music is now cranked on full whack, last night I got a 20minute screaming match to listen too, her on the phone to her BF - swearing screaming stamping her feet (yes really) to listen too. The housing man went to her door - she told him the music isn't hers....uhm of course not *eyes fall out face*

    Ill send my friend to her door pretending to be the provident, that'll scare her :rotfl:

    I've moved recently into a tenament stair, some neighbours talk to me, others have ignored me, both is fine by me, I really don't care that much about being friends with them, I have my own friends! There's one guy in particular who makes a point of ignoring me, I ensure he sees I'm ignoring him back, really petty I know but as I was new to the block so to speak, I thought his behaviour terrible, but now, I just think, whatever............

    What's a tenament stair??

    It's an old kind of block of flats where you have a staircase with flats off the landings as you go up. Usualy terraced as well.

    Ah right. I knew what a tenament was, as my cousin used to live in one in Glasgow, it was the "stairs" bit that threw me, I've never heard them called that before :)

    You call it a tennement stairs when you go up stairs before the close, and just a tennement close if the close opens direct onto the street.
