...to want my neighbours to turn their music down?

[makemineabacardi]

Lads in their 20's living next door (renting from the parents of one of them). Parties on a regular basis which is bad enough, but it goes up a notch on bank holidays.

Music at a level where you can hear it through our whole house and over the TV has been going on since 10am. I expect it to go on until the early hours of tomorrow morning. Theyre drinking in the garden.

Cant go out as I stupidly chose today to gloss the woodwork in living/dining room. Cant retaliate as DD is trying to sleep. Based on past experience they wont turn it down and noise folk arent interested.

Theres a sign on their front door saying 'open house - bring your vodka and charlie' (slang for cocaine).

AIBU to want to scream?

If you have the parents number ring them.
every time the noise is too loud ring them.

I tried to get hold of the mum but she didnt answer phone or text probably partying elsewhere herself.

Our police are generally a bt rubbish, understaffed and focused too much on the richer parts of town (which we are not obviously). But these are the same police who arent interested in the druggies who deal and take class a drugs and prostitue on the public land behind our house.

More of them there now and noisier. Going to ring the police again in a bit.

My sympathy OP, they sound dreadful. Hope they go out soon and keep it down when they get back.

Have you got somewhere else you can go and stay for the night?

That would seriously do my head in, I would also go into the local police station and not leave until they agreed to do something

Nowhere else to go Im afraid girlie. Managed to get hold of the mum by text who 'apologised' and told them to turn it down, which they did for all of 5 mins. Rang police again, nothing doing as its a BH and not late at night.

DH has gone out to escape, luckily DD is a heavy sleeper so sleeping peacefully. Im sat with my headphones on.

Just thankful we dont have guests this weekend!

ring the mum again, go round again, ring police again.... I think you just have to keep going until they get the message!!

Also i'd be a bit annoyed if dh had gone out and left me to it - he should be round there telling them to shut the f* up!!!

Haha love that idea PAs . Sadly the meters in these houses are safely contained in the basements.

Its still going on, but luckily DD hasnt stirred. Texted the Mum again but no response.

Tbh, girlie, DH always sticks his head in the sand when they start up next door. He never goes round, it always gets left to me. Drives me insane. He was going out anyway so I told him to still go, no point both of us suffering.

Hah well I do have some drilling I need to do...

They went out about 15 mins ago, phew. Popped out in the garden to find a load of half eaten bbq'd chicken had been thrown over the hedge. Wouldnt be the first time. I kindly threw it back over.

Hoping to get some sleep now and fingers crossed they dont wake me on their return.

Thanks PAs . I did some drilling, and some washing, then invited a friend and her DS over and let the toddlers make a racket in the garden.

Realistically it makes no difference but made me feel a bit better .

I think it might be worth going over to speak to them about it while they're not pissed/showing off in front of their friends and explaining that, while you aren't a party pooper, what they have been doing is massively intrusive and unfair. Perhaps they might be more responsive the little fuckers
