Every day she hoovers for one hour. Every day!! Average sized semi, no kids. How can it get that dirty? Dropped DS at nursery furst thing, currently pg and got another sodding cold, lying here trying to rest and she's bloody well at it again. She only did it yesterday afternoon. I hate her. Sigh. Sorry just needed to get that off my chest. Some days I just want to go live in a forest on my own for some fucking peace.

She's probably fed up with the noise from your children so I guess you're quits!

I have to say, my next house will be detached. In fact, as far away from other people and their ordinary daily noise as possible :o

(child. Not children. Yet!)

She's using the Hoover to cover up the sound of noisy sex. HTH.

DS is actually remarkably quiet. I'm thinking of getting him a drum kit when he's older Grin

Next house will def be detached!!

My next door neighbour does a big hoover at 7.30am/8am on a weekend morning, bloody annoying!

But she is lovely and I've been doing a lot of DIY on an evening so I think we're quits Grin

I don't think that would bother me Star seeing as we are up generally and it's only one day. I think it's the 365 days a year that is really starting to get to me... although she may have given herself xmas day off last year.

It wouldn't have bothered me years ago More but having a lie-in on a weekend has been a long time coming, 16 years to be precise Grin

I sympathise. We live in a ground floor flat and our upstairs neighbour is the loudest, most inconsiderate person I've ever known.
You could set your watch by his 11pm Sunday night hoovering. I can't imagine what state his skirting boards are in as he is constantly ramming into them and dragging furniture along his laminate floor. He gives us the rage.
Between that and the fact you can hear him screeching to his gf who lives in another timezone over skype I get a strong stabby feeling. There's a reason we're buying a detached house.

How big is the house that she needs to hoover for an hour though?

Assuming no sofa/bed moving (which you would turn off for surely?) then you can do a room in 5 minutes with a decent hoover. So unless she has a 12 roomed house, with shagpile in each room, I cant imagine how on earth it would take that long!

I don't think I've ever Hoovered for a whole hour. I hope it's a bagless, or she'll be forever popping to Morrisons for replacements.

I think that while you think baby noise or child noise is unavoidable, it doesn't make it any less unpleasant for the other person. So you can't really say anything as she is also not doing that during an unreasonable time.
