Yes it is too early, anything before 10 on a Sunday, sorry!

Emandlu · 22/07/2012 09:31

Waaaay too early.

10am at the earliest on a Sunday for me.

grovel · 22/07/2012 09:31

You are.

Surely there's still some dew?

molepom · 22/07/2012 09:31

They are being unreasonable for shouting at you.

WorraLiberty · 22/07/2012 09:31

Yep not before 10 here too!

Hopeforever · 22/07/2012 09:32

But I don't think yelling was justified, but a polite request that you don't start so early would be OK unless this is the 6th Sunday in a row you've woken them

molepom · 22/07/2012 09:32

and yes, it is still a little early for a Sunday, maybe about 10-30ish is better?

My neighbour's finished the mowing already. I didn't yell though. Mainly because DS had a teeny weeny ever so adorable screaming fit around 7am.. Blush

If you're my neighbour... sorry! Grin

RubyRosie · 22/07/2012 09:36

Come and cut my grass it really needs doing and my neighbours deserve to be woken up early (teenagers had a loud party last night as their parents are away for the weekend).

grovel · 22/07/2012 09:38

You should only cut when you get back from Church. I assume you went to early Communion?

SquashedSquirrel · 22/07/2012 09:38

My effing neighbor is cutting the grass now. She started at 9am. I honestly think it is too early.

Pancakeflipper · 22/07/2012 09:40

9.30 on our street. Some cut it before church.

freeandhappy · 22/07/2012 09:41

i've been up since about half six which is very unreasonable of me. worse still i've done a massive stack of ironing and washed the kitchen floor. i'm on one this morning!

10am rule here too. We have DS1 begging to ask to knock for his friends from 5.30am. So 10am feels like the afternoom to us!

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 22/07/2012 09:41

One of our neighbours was doing theirs when I hung the washing out at 9, I wouldn't dream of yelling at them. If we only cut ours when we got back from church we'd be living in a meadow!

JumpingThroughHoops · 22/07/2012 09:43

Think yourself lucky. My next door neighbour hoovers his lawn on a sunday morning round about 7.30; this causes the funny olf chap across the road to come out with a paint scraper and weed ? demoss? his front drive. Joyous.

WhispersOfWickedness · 22/07/2012 09:49

Hoovers his lawn?! Confused

JumpingThroughHoops · 22/07/2012 10:09

Oh yes. especially after rain when his pebble dashing has fallen off.

OHforDUCKScake · 22/07/2012 10:15

How many hoovers does he get through??? Itd be a new one a week, surely. The wet, the stones!

LucieMay · 22/07/2012 10:17

Why on earth would you mow the lawn at 10am?! We're not even dressed at that point!

Woking · 22/07/2012 10:20

We cut ours just after 9 am, we went out as our neighbours were doing their's as well.

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 22/07/2012 10:20

Are you my neighbour?

They have just started mowing...

nearlythereyet · 22/07/2012 10:26

Anything after 8.30 here. I wouldn't shout at you OP. but then I live in the countryside where farm operations have a lie in until almost 6 on a Sunday. Can't believe people think 9.30 is early. Especially people with children. It's only the hum of a mower not blaring heavy metal music. Confused
