To feel miffed with my neighbours request?

Don't do this. Instead say, You are being utterly ridiculous, I hear your request and the answer is no, I will not refrain from using my own garden under any circumstances.

I like the idea of a trampoline near her fence too. The kids can ask Mrs Bucket questions every time they are on the upswing. They can tell her all about smelly poos as well.

She sounds like Hyacinth Bucket!

id be outside on those days with the radio playing loudly and my (imaginary) kids playing on a trampoline while making a Barbie and inviting me friends to byob.

A simple no would have done.

The OP sounds absolutely insufferable. And now her neighbour hates her.

Pathetic.

Damn, how did I miss this thread before ✊🏻😈

so many great ideas on here for you to try on those days OP

Your response should have been a polite "sorry, but no, you can't tell me what to do in my own garden".

The woman is also a snob, inferring that you are a lower class than her well to do friends who might be offended by the sight of a binbag.

You can't let her impose her will on you, so do make sure that you make use of your garden on those days.

I think your neighbour a cheek and I would do what i normally do

she doesn’t seem worried about inconveniencing you.

perhaps she needs to move to a stately home if her guests are so well to do

very Hyacinth Bouquet imo

Grilled fish sound's nice

I think this is very very unkind and selfish.

BBQ at yours on those dates....😆

I think that your neighbour is seriously out of order in her demands of you. However, you are REALLY enjoying her misery, so neither of you seem very kind or thoughtful in this really.
I would have said, "I won't be modifying your behaviour to suit your party, and in fact I won't be modifying my behaviour at all in order to suit your standards. Asking me to change my plans, or telling me where to put my bin, is controlling and undignified of you- don't do it again." I would NOT have arranged a party in order to piss off my neighbour, posting updates online about how you've ruined her evening.
Be an adult.

I think OP has just enjoyed a small amount of rebelliousness in response to her neighbour's unreasonable behaviour. OP's actual behaviour was very measured and I should think her future behaviour will be too. There's no harm in taking pleasure in coming up with ridiculous ideas and having a giggle about it! Maybe lighten up a bit?

I used to live next door to a couple, the husband was Very Important in his company. Whilst he was shagging his PA.
They had other Very Important colleagues round one day and were sitting in their garden.
At the time, I had two tortoises, one of whom was a Sex Beast, and that afternoon was pestering the other one. I shouted “ she doesn’t want to have sex with you”. Cue deathly quiet from next door.

You don't do yoga in your garden while your husbands works by any chance, do you?

How's the head this morning @Aliceglass?!

Imagine your neighbour may have had some retaliation emergency lawn mowing or vacuuming to do this morning!

Thankyou for a good laugh. I needed it today and after your DH's comments on private education, I burst out laughing. Unbelievable what some people think they can get away with. Well done for not putting up with that nonsense.

Of course you ignore her!!

My neighbour opposite asked me to disable our flashing Christmas lights, because her adult son sometimes pops in and he has epilepsy. I suggested she closed her curtains if he came. She said she didn't have curtains. She most definitely does have curtains. Some people are batshit!

Give those gussets a really good airing!

Bonkers. Tell her to move to somewhere with a bigger garden and no neighbours

Sounds to me like you just had a perfectly normal summers day in your garden with your family and friends.. oh was your party yesterday? I hadn't noticed.

We had something similar with our neighbours

We own,they are council (I'm not a snob-its context) but she thinks we rent

We are not allowed to hang our washing out,(its on the line right now)park outside our house (its parked there now),have ds's dog around,Ditto dgd,(they are on their way to stay for the day)sit in our garden(dps out there now),replace our front fence/paint the back fence(painted it last week and replaced the front last month),play music (I admit I haven't any on now but I'm sick of hearing 'nothing compares to you on repeat,I hear it again and dps heavy metal is coming out-where did I hide the boom box?)and I have to rip up the lily's,roses and wildflowers I planted last year (I havent)

This list goes on

She keeps squealing that she's 'gonna report ya to ya landlord and get ya booted out of ma street'

Shame she doesn't have that power,but bless her for thinking she does

@Aliceglass DH, also a little half cut, shouted “that’s enough now, you’re being too loud. Have some decorum! I’m privately educated and can’t possibly listen to this racket!”

🤣🤣🤣. Your DH has killed me!

I’d be inviting my mates over on each of these dates - blasting heavy metal - I can highly recommend (warning some people might find the language distasteful 😀)

Read through this morning cackling away 😂

How do you feel today OP? 😁
