Name changed for this as my other threads are quite outing. Sorry its long!

Me and partner are away for a few days over Christmas, our next door neighbour has a spare key for our house for emergencies (we have their spare house key as well). We are not close friends just normal neighbours, They have had family visiting over Christmas/new year. On boxing day they text me and asked if some of their family could sleep in our home as more of the family had arrive unexpectedly! We said no because beds need changing and heating not on etc.(also I dont want strangers in my home)Well since then we have had text after text asking over and over again! I have also repeatedly tried to ring them but they are not picking up! The last one was very late last night (I was already in bed asleep)asking again and saying the family who they want to stay's car has broken down! I feel like packing up here and going home now as so worried they will just use my house anyway! I dont have any friends or family nearby who can check on my home. My partner has said they surely wont just use our house but I'm not sure they wont. 😥

Aha! It is in AIBU; CF has kicked off in a text because her DD was taken to KFC instead of Pizza Express. Am hooked.

It was mildly amusing until the neighbour's reply took it to a new level
...classic!

Indeed, definitely cranked it up a notch 😄

twinklebutt · 28/12/2022 21:25

I am totally invested in this thread!!! I lost it earlier and had to google to find it again!

strawberriesplease · 28/12/2022 21:26

Just seen the PEX thread.

Jesus, neighbours are crazeee

SouperNoodle · 28/12/2022 21:27

It should be a legal requirement that if you start a juicy thread, you have to give hourly updates 😂

StaunchMomma · 28/12/2022 21:38

We are now for sure the ones who 'won't stop asking' 😬

I'm kidding myself that the DM, DS & DBIL have gone over the back fence, commando-crawled across the patio, snuck into the house and are now lying in wait for the CF's to let themselves in for tonight's illicit sleepover, armed with pots, pans & Nerf Guns.

CorrodedCoffin · 28/12/2022 21:41

Just discovered this thread and everyone else I’m eager for an update.

Really hope you haven’t had to cut your trip short. Is there any way you could place a small/cheap fast food order to your home address in the evening and leave a note for the restaurant to call you on arrival and then ask them if any lights are on or if anyone comes to the door when they knock?

EwwSprouts · 28/12/2022 21:46

Well?

AussieMozzieMagnet · 28/12/2022 21:50

Waiting patiently...

fruitbrewhaha · 28/12/2022 22:06

Oh dear, I often think when there’s no update that everything got sorted undramatically but I can’t help but think the op is driving home to sort things out

Haha! I’m picturing an implacable and definitely not-to-be-messed-with trio sitting on the sofa in the dark, with rifles across their knees like a deleted scene from Fargo. May the good Lord have mercy on the souls of the house-invaders.

There's nothing we can do about it.
If it's deleted, it's deleted.
Yes, we'll all be sad, but we will just have to move on.
