to be really f*cking p*ssed off with my neighbour for this?

[DaydreamDollyisshrinking]

We bought DD a trampoline (8ft) this week for the garden, and she absolutely loves it, it's so sweet, she wants to be on it constantly, and since we bought it, our garden has been full of giggles all day long as we all lark about on it.
The neighbour who's garden backs onto ours (their house is sideways on to ours, so the side of their house over looks our garden) is currently having a loft extension, with a large window on the side that is looking directly into our garden. She stopped my husband this morning, as he was bouncing with DD, and asked him to move the trampoline. She is upset as if adults bounce on it, we can see directly into her garden, and she can see it from her garden and it's a bit of an eye sore.
WTF???!!! We have said NOTHING about the fact they are putting a big fuck off window over looking our garden, we have said NOTHING about the fact that we should have had notification from the council about it with the option to complain about the plans, we have said NOTHING about the fact that their ugly loft conversion will block out the afternoon sun from our garden - because that's just life when you live in a street like this isn't it?
Am so angry that she has the audacity to ask us to move our fucking trampoline cos she doesn't like the look of it. And I'm sorry darling but I'm not that desperate to see into your garden.
So angry.
AIBU to be this p*ssed off??! My DD loves this trampoline so much and now I feel awkward going on there with her.

you must invite all your adult friends round for a drunken evening bounce. clothing optional.

Tell her you will take it down when they take down the extension. Then smile and invite her in for a bounce!!

pink4ever I most certainly do not have plans to bounce on it at 2am whilst drunk! That wasn't her beef, she didn't want adults bouncing on it with their 2 year old on a saturday morning.... errr... ok.

Sorry helium now, YABU as it should surely be sauvignon blanc at this time on a saturday night

@ pink and norahs conflicting x posts.

moron,people cant see a fucking lot as they bounce for a micro second in the air can they?Its ok for her to be able to gawp uninterupted into your garden but she doesnt want anyone catching tiny snap shots of hers.
Id be tempted to invite friends round and see how many different poses you can do whilst mid air and do it in fancy dress

daydream I have a lovely bottle of red, waiting patiently. But after 4 hours sleep last night and washing everything today (DS vomited all over the house, all night and this morning ) I have a cold/ sore throat and want to wait till I'll really enjoy it. I think the playdate I have with best friend and her dc's and her swimming pool will be the perfect time.

Id put a note through her door.

She is being very unreasonable.

Can you carefully arrange some landscaping/a flowerbed/some white pebbles into "Fuck you and your double standards you crazy old bag" (or perhaps something a little more concise) at an angle only likely to be visible from aforementioned large loft extension window?

I'd be tempted to get an even bigger trampoline....

Ignore, ignore, ignore

ledkr that is GENIUS! That's really tickled me!!

helium in that case, YANBU hope you and your DS are feeling better soon - of your playdate!

washnomore Fucking brilliant

Ooh or pin letters to your chest and then bounce out words 'S.O.D. O.F.F.'

And at slugz's neighbour. If it was that awful, why did she let her DD go on it?

These ideas are so funny who needs a trampoline when you want to p*ss yourself

Jump away!!

At least you were not awake last night with your neighbours having a shouting match in the street at two and four in the morning.

I love to hear the sounds of Kids having fun.

at this thread.

And while harecare's diplomacy is admirable, I'd back it up with a quick search on the council website. You should have had notification of this.

I stopped next door from building an extension by pointing out it would be 2 foot higher than they said it would

tell them to pea off yanbu,i have an 8ft one too in my garden ,the bloke nxt door always moans but i dont take any notice of him

The house next door to us is up on a bank next to ours so they can't help but overlook our garden. I keep it fair by wandering round my bedroom in the scud so if she forgets to close her blinds she gets an eyeful

I am convinced there must be a fabulous passive-aggressive solution to this. Perhaps you and your DH could wear large theatrical blindfolds?

I was going to suggest naked trampolining but NannoMum got there first!

me and my friend had a drunken bounce on our others friends trampers the other night,she woke up and thought she was dreaming

that should read "OMG be careful what you google but what about this?"

Get your DD some binoculars or a telescope, then bounce together while loudly talking about how much more she can see when using them.

Carrotsandcelery i would do what this poster suggests too. Stay calm. You can do waht you want to do in your garden as long as noise doesn't overly disturb others. Bouncing on a trampoline during sensible hours of the day is hardly unreasonable behaviour even if she thinks it is.

Write a diary of dates times content of conversations with this neighbour from now on. DO IT!! You will regret it later on if this silly cow continues her stupidness.

In all honesty I would not recommend naked bouncing. I did this once. But my flaps are so big I nearly took off.....
