to feel happy when i saw a for sale sign outside my neighbours house

[Morph2]

We've lived her for over 10 years, them slightly longer. Their house is imaculate, he's always doing DIY, doing up the house, they decorate the living room and buy a new three piece suite. They've been abit of a nightmare to live next to due to the noise from constantly doing DIY although last few year since they had their child haven't beeen so bad.

Looking back i think we were abit of a nightmare in the early years of having our own house, having friends back from the pub etc.

We're on say hello terms lately but i doubt we would ever be friends.

then the board went up a couple of day ago, i drove home and saw it and felt so happy, DP said we may get someone worse, i would just like to have a clean slate and get off on the right foot this time.

I wish my neighbours would move, they stink!

I was really happy when my horrible neighbour came round to ask if we wanted to buy her shed (which was a terrific bargain and we really need a a shed) and then it fell through :-(

I live in a lovely house in a (badly) converted mill where the walls are ridiculously thin and have had the neighbours from hell for the last 18 months. I'm talking growing and selling drugs (several police raids in the early hours which scared the life out of me), people coming and going in their apartment all night (their access stairs run above where my bed is and every time their doorbell goes it's that loud it makes my dog bark) and loud music at all hours. Not to mention the frequent drug and drink fuelled arguments and beatings that I could hear through the walls. Or the crying baby that got told t "Shut the fuck up". Or the throwing up profusely after every party. Awful.

I saw a "To Let" sign go up a couple of months ago and rang the estate agents to make sure they had the right property! It proper made my year! I now have a lovely lady in her 50's who I can barely hear.

Better the devil you know

My friendsnext door moved they were a tad strange then some awful family moved in and ever since she has been living in fear

They drink, damagae cars 4 people on her street have been robbed when she complained about music someone shat on her door step she has a dog and 3 and knows the difference between dog and cat shit.

We are selling our house because of some of our neighbours.

Not even slightly unreasonable. I did a little happy dance when I saw the for sale sign going up on the house two doors down as it means the neighbours and their weird wheelie bin obsessed, recycling bin stealing ways will move. (long story. Don't ask.)

well the house if massivly over priced, cus it is in such tip top condition from all the DIY, seriously i looked in the estate agent website and its like a palace compared to ours :(

YANBU, but be aware you might get worse!

We decided to move because of our asshole ignorant neighbours. By the time their "For Sale" board suddenly went up we had already started looking and got our heads round moving, so we both ended up moving- i'd like to think we pissed them off as much as they did us

thanks for the comments, i'm thinking we could get worse. TBF they are not too bad now and if we had moved in now they would be good neighbours, its just too much water under the bridge

YANBU. Think positively.

I know it could always be worse but seeing that smug wee git of a neighbour of mine every day is giving me an ulcer. I'd move like a shot but DH is rather attached to the place.

I dream about winning the lottery.

Ours is on the market because of our fucking nutcase neighbours. If I win the lottery tonight I'm off!

I have dh in the moving abroad job hunt too, he was offered an opportunity recently but it has not turned out.

Someone pleeeeeeaaassssseeee buy my house before I murder the preposterous hypocrite next door!

Hermione do you live next door to Morph?

Just wondering ...

I'd bloody love our miserablist baby led weaning, self building, home educating, noisy in the morning, hahaha super mr and mrs smug middle class, irritating, back garden (looks over ours) steptoe-like neighbours to move RIGHT NOW. yanbu

Because I'm sure Tiger lives next door to us ...

You'll have to explain that too me. (dim emoticon)

Hopefullly

I'd love someone to buy the house next door. Sadly it's not on the market. They've made it perfect. FOR THEM!!!!!

D'ya know I've never done a passive aggressive until now. I think I need therapy.

YANBU but, be careful what you wish for. As someone else said, better the devil you know.

Oh help, think I need to go to bed. No I don't live next door to morph. No it's the couple from hell, reported us to environmental health because of one of the dogs barking, fair enough, I asked her what we could do to make it better and she flew into a rage and started name calling and then going to all the neighbours and telling them what I "was"! Environmental health lady said told me all that had been said and it's all bollocks and neighbour has form for this. Her dogs bark all the time, midnight the other night! Doors slamming, radio, tv noise etc. building work for the past 18 months off and on and never a word to say it was being done. Couple this with nightmare 10 year old and it's enough to drive a nun to drink!

omg just thought DS (2 yesterday), we've been saying to him for about the last year 'where does the doggy live' and he points to the party wall, what happens if the new people don't have a dog????

As Kylie said "Better the devil you know!"

Our 'new' neighbours (well three years ago now tbh) were so lovely compared to the old ones, it's really helped, they understand about Music Practice and love dogs, it's bliss.
Hope you get corkers too.
