Neighbour vacuuming at 07:30!

[LadyMaryCreepyCrawley]

It's HALF TERM! I don't want waking up at 07:30 (their small child is up and stomping around about 20 mins before, mum only works term time so she should be off for half term). AIBU to ask her to stop?

Arisbottle, phew. Then you can Hoover to your hearts content in a detached house.

And you miss lead, peeping dinner isnt housework! Whois top tip tho... Man does own ironing and woman buys non-iron work clothes or adopt the hair straighteners over the collet and down front of shirt (to be worn under jacket) approach for winter :-)

If you'd come back as said you live in a flat I would have been wondering why your neighbours hadn't snapped!

It is mainly housework , so hoovering , polishing , doing bathrooms , cleaning windows . I suspect most people do a similar amount of housework, just at a different time. Sometimes if I am being ultra efficient I can put the slow cooker on, put meat on to marinate or similar

My neighbour hoovers up between 5-45 & 7.00 every day

You still sound suoer organised and very clean to me. Can you come round here and do a spot of cleaning? Things get a wipe down, a sweep and a mop but can't say I do much deep cleaning, polishing or windows. Guilty secret is those disposable wipes, I know they are expensive and bad for the environment but they make a wipe down of the bathroom so much more appealing.

I've totally reduced the amount of housework with a move down south. Bye bye big old tall terrace and hello new build one bed flat. No more stairs to clean and lug the Hoover up or miles of skirting boards and dado rails to wipe!

Considering this was a lighthearted thread, I can't believe how riled some posts have made me!

Before 9am is unreasonable to be disturbing people - hoovering, hedge cutting, sales calls...

Half term, weekday, weekend, term time - makes no difference because we live in a 24/7 society with most people working outside of 9-5 in one way or another (You only have to get stuck in traffic on the motorway at 5am or midnight to see that!!)

7:30 is the time my youngest goes to bed, there is no other 7:30 in the day as far as I am concerned.

YANBU!

:o

Wow, seriously lazy. You're "exhausted" being awake from 7:30 to 20:00? Are you 9?

All I can think of now is how utterly lazy I am now. Where do people get the energy to do all this? I feel like I need to get up and Hoover!

YABU 7.30 on a weekday is perfectly normal. Aarf at "having to get up at 7 for.the school run". You do realise lots of people get up way earlier?

7.30 on a weekday is fine. You can't expect your neighbour to structure her day around your lie in!

You say it's half term and she works term time only so perhaps she actually wants to enjoy her time off rather than spending all day doing housework. By getting the housework done early that leaves her free to do other things.

Yikes by 7.30 washer has been on or is on , floors often swept and I done yoga especially if we are out for the day but that's just the way life is and would not dream of telling others what can and can't do either early or late at night and that's even when in in bed early because my day starts very early . People live their lives by their own need to do clocks

Oh and school run wake up time is 5am for me and kids up from 6am to get ready as first leaves 7.10

I got up at 6.20 this morning. I felt as if I had luxuriated in the most gorgeous sleep.

Usually, I am wake no later than 5.30am. On Sundays, we have to get to basketball training on the other side of town by 8am - which means leaving home by 7am. On these days I have to put the dishwasher and washing machine on before I go out. 6.30am...

I wouldn't be noisy until 9am - 7.30am is far to early for vacuuming in my world. I'm in bed before 8pm every night and my toddler wakes up repeatedly, sleeping on and off until 8.30am. I think I would cry if someone woke me at 7.30am when I didn't have to be awake.

What is this "sleeping in" that you all speak of?

Personally I think 8 is the earliest people should be making lots of noise. But think yourself lucky you don't have neighbours who hoover at 11:30 at night, it could be worse.

Me and my neighbour both have young children (2 months between them), 7.30 is our midday. Our children have waken both houses up at all hours of the night so a bit of vacuuming at that time wouldn't even disturb me. Her husband works nights so I think he'd rather I got any noisy jobs out of the way at 7.30 than waited until he was in bed and settled.

It's no wonder the country is on its knees when people think sleeping in til 8 or 9 is the norm!!

I admit I have hoovered at about that time on a weekend once as DD dropped her breakfast everywhere [hblush].

It could be worse, our last neighbour used to dry her hair at about 1am most nights (her hairdryer was at a socket on the other side of our bedroom wall and the walls were thin so it felt like it was going off next to your ear).

Well my dc wake me up about half 8 most half term mornings and weekends. We get up whenever we feel like it and stay in my bed past 10 quite Regularly. I could not cope with someone disturbing my very few lie ins so I feel your pain OP and luckily apart from the once a week washing day with her twin tubs I never hear my neighbor.
