NDNs moved in four months ago, Dad, Mum and baby, all seemed good, not overly friendly but that’s fine by me. Within the week our drains were blocked and overflowing so called out plumbers. Lifted drain cover to reveal a sea of fetid nappies which were cleared for us. We have insurance to cover such things so no charge. Few weeks later repeat performance, plumber comes, clears stinking nappy clogged drain, leaves but suggests speaking to neighbours.
We do not have DC and nor do the other people in our terrace apart from the new NDNs. DP went and knocked on all the doors in our terrace and explained what had happened. All expect new NDN were horrified and assured him they would be careful but as we knew they did not have nappy wearing offspring. NDN shrugged and slammed door in my DP’s face.
The situation has not improved and the plumber has been out another three times since. Latest was three days ago when once the drain was cleared I was told the insurance company had said they will be charging in future because too many claims are being made. Once again been and spoken to all in our terrace of houses. All upset for us apart from NDN who told me to fuck off and stop whinging. I have told them next visit the bill for drain clearance will be passed to them for settling.
WWYD? They are in the garden at the moment with friends and I heard them laughing about ‘that silly cow next door who keeps bellyaching about her drains’.
