To ask what you'd like your neighbours to 'book' with you? [Lighthearted]

[KaMai]

For example, we live in a terrace and our neighbours have 5 boys under 10. As you can imagine there's the expected amount of noise this makes- 16 hours a day of banging, stomping, yelling, screaming, playing, arguing and paw patrol!
Just got home from an extra shift to find they've been out all day!
If I knew they were going to be out I'd have stayed home, played soft music, guzzled wine, had a long bath in peace!
I don't think I'm being unreasonable to expect them to book their days out with me!
What would you like your neighbours to prearrange with you?

Playing radios in the garden. I would like to be out when this happens.

Are they at school now? Can you plan accordingly?

oh god - the shouting at the football. Let me know when it's happening and I'll closet myself upstairs where I can't hear it.

Two in full time school, two part time at the moment, I think. I pretty much have to be out the house during schoolish hours for work myself, but kicking myself for staying really late when I could have had quiet at home!

Lawn mowing/leaf blowing. Would be so much better if everyone could coordinate and do theirs all at the same time, rather than taking it in turns so the whole weekend is full of the sound.

To let me know when they plan to let their dog bark for hours without stopping it. Same for their music.
I wouldn’t be able to go out every time though or I’d never be home. Or if they just told me whenever they were going out I could plan to relax during those times.
