please go easy, cos I am crying and shaking, but I do need to know if I am out of order, and what you would expect.
Neighbour has just knocked on the door, and very snippily asked me if I had water. I said "OMG the plumbers have switched your water off too, I'm really sorry, I told them where to switch the water off so it was just my house"
She said could you just sort it.
So plumbers were right in the middle of fitting sink, said they would be half an hour.
So I went to tell her, and apologise, and she just laid into me.
she said, I haven't told her anything that has been happening with the building, all I was interested in was her signature on party wall agreement and I haven't kept her up to date with anything else, the scaffolding went on to her property(!!!) and there was rubbish on her path.
and since we moved in she feels like i have ignored her and not been very neighbourly, I ignore her in the street(!)
I just kept apologising, and said why didn't you come and say something, you are really angry now, it didn't need to get to this point.
She told me not to tell her when to get angry, and she is still really angry
I told her I was mortified (I am) and I left because I started to cry.
this building project has been a nightmare from start to finish, but they actually haven't done anything for months, although the scaffolding has been up.
From what I can gather, her main arguments are that I didn't keep her posted on what was happening, the scaffolding encroached onto her property(not sure about this, cos it has been taken down now) but it certainly didn't cause any shade or cover her windows.
and that she had rubbish on her path, I can't imagine the builders actually put rubbish on her path, so presumably she is talking about dust?
so should I have told her that we were having a nightmare with the builders and it was delayed, that we ran out of money, could have actually lost the house, money was that big an issue, that we nearly got divorced(still might)
I haven't ignored her, and neither has DH, as far as I am aware. Why would I be ignoring her?
help please?
