She is winding me up more and more and I can feel my heels digging in. My friends have told me they think I am in the right (they would wouldn't they?)
A bit of background- we've had two break ins and two attempted break ins in three years. We were advised to take extra precautions, including security lighting to the back of our garden which backs onto a fairly busy road.
Over the last couple of months we?ve had the wrath of an elderly neighbour- it started off with a letter saying could we turn off our light as it shines (when activated by motion sensor) into her bedroom.
I dropped a note back mentioning the burglaries and the advice from the police etc and said that I would chop back the tree (which sometimes moves in the breeze setting it off) I also bought her a blackout blind when I was shopping but didn?t give it to her because the following day she came whilst we were having breakfast and started screaming at us! So the blind is being stored in our garage gathering dust!
She regularly walks over to my house and if I haven't left in the morning she gives me a rant and a sermon for a good ten minutes and it's starting to drive me mad.
I'm not going to turn the light off, we've had no problems, no break ins no vandalism for over a year and I think the light has helped. Does anyone have any ideas? She is threatening to take me to court because it violates her human rights and I have sarcastically suggested she closes her curtains- which of course she didn't like- but I am fed up and would rather my energy was spent elsewhere :-).
I would understand if a neighbour did this- in fact all three of my neighbours have done the same and it is a pain when the light shines through a window and the council putting a streetlight to the other side of my house is a pain but I understand it is necessary to improve the security in the area, oh blah, blah blah I am even boring myself now.
Thank you if you got to the end.
