to think our neighbour is spying on me through a wall?

We live in a semi but a semi that backs onto another house, so our entire back wall is another house's entire back wall IYSWIM. So upstairs we share a wall on our bedroom, the landing and our bathroom.

The only noise I ever hear from their house is that noise of a pull switch light cord. And the only time I ever hear it is just after I go to the bathroom at night before I go to bed. Whatever the time. I never hear it before or after. Without fail it is just after I leave the bathroom. I go to bed at very random times (DH works away...). it could be 8pm, it could be 1am. Whatever time it is, I always hear that cord go within 20 seconds of me leaving the bathroom...

Uuummmmmm AIBU to think I might be being spied on..??!!! How do I find out for sure?!!

Lol at flock of elephants. I'm imagining a load of little Dumbo's in cute hats. Smile

Don't know about playroom OOD, how would he get up there? But he could have anything up there, you know surveillance equipment, his ex-wife's body...

Um, wishing I hadn't started reading this thread now!

Lol at flock of elephants and wife's dead body!!!

Any update gnocci? You need to put this to bed before you scare half of the population of MN witless!! Grin

Pixel ... can't you get hold of a screwdriver? .... and report back? :D

Pixel · 15/07/2012 01:17

I have a screwdriver, hidden in a drawer in the kitchen so I know there is at least one that dh hasn't 'lost', no ladder though unfortunately or inclination to go hunting for corpses in my loft thanks very much.

QOD · 15/07/2012 08:25

Omg, pixel hasn't come back since she went hunting for a screw driver!!

Snurt

Babylon1 · 15/07/2012 10:18

Ok ok this is getting a bit far fetched now - seriously no ladder????? Grin

NotGeoffVader · 15/07/2012 10:20

I have to go up into my loft later. I know what's in it though, and it's not my neighbour (unless he has developed the ability to pass through a solid brick wall).

motherofallhangovers · 15/07/2012 11:13

I know what's in our loft - me and DS at the moment! Our living room is a loft conversion. No neighbours spying on us. Well not from above anyway.

QOD · 15/07/2012 21:56

I went in one of our lofts today!!! We have 3 ... All ok, no murderers or spies found some discarded sex toys of ours though omg

Came across some amazing old photos of ours that we boxed up 8 yrs ago when we moved here and had a lovely time digging thru them.

slightly concerned that I treble bagged up said old toys and put them somewhere safe prior to discarding them and now can't find them

valiumredhead · 16/07/2012 17:54
