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. 😥

The story had an ending if you had read the thread.

No they didn't

Yeah…nah

FamilyLife2point4 · 01/01/2023 12:35

I’ve searched the thread too. OP posted on 29th stating they were going to return on 30th (a day earlier than planned) to check house. There has been no update from OP since …..

PurpleEmpress · 01/01/2023 13:05

The OP also said they were returning home as they were not feeling well. Maybe they aren't feeling well enough to post at present.

Emotionalsupportviper · 01/01/2023 15:28

To those complaining that there is "no ending" - please remember that although for us this is an interesting thread, for the OP it is her personal life.

She may not want to share anything that has/hasn't happened as it may be personal/outing/etc.

Don't get me wrong - I'm as nosey interested in the outcome as anyone is, but ultimately in these situations we are an advice and support group, and it isn't our lives being discussed. I'd like to think that "no news, is good news".

What the bloody hell did she post about it on a hugely viewed public message forum then? Confused 'It's her personal life' my arse. Hmm

Personally IDGAF what the 'outcome' is, but it's rude and irritating to post something on here, and then not come back and finish what you started!

Well I never noticed. That's how few fucks I give. 🤘

Please could someone on android app tell me how to read all of the OP posts?

The 3 dots gives me BOOKMARK REPORT or QUOTE

I have followed this thread from the beginning so not relevant to this thread but would be useful to know on other threads please that I haven't read in real time iyswim

I have Android and its just not an option. I've flagged it with MN a few times and it's just not there and won't be.

RampantIvy · 01/01/2023 18:07

@Bigbadfish and @vvvvb I just access mumsnet on their website. They have a mobile version of it. I can then use the "see all" function. I don't use the app.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 01/01/2023 19:43

MrsMontyD · 28/12/2022 19:21

This is also why you should change the locks when you move, you never know who has a key.

The OP's neighbour has the key!

This is the point.

RampantIvy · 01/01/2023 19:49

The OP's neighbour has the key!

Her mum got it back, but the OP can't be sure that the neighbour hasn't had another one cut.

vvvvb · 01/01/2023 19:50

Thank you for help

Hope MN HQ towers will update their android app soon so it is the same as apple

MrsMontyD · 01/01/2023 20:15

@Ameanstreakamilewide Exactly, and when you move in a new house you have no idea if one of your new neighbours has a key to your house, hence why it's always a good idea to change your locks.

Castleontheisland · 02/01/2023 11:05

Hello and happy new year to you all.
We got home, everything looked ok but on my partner emptying the car, the next-door neighbour came out and said her 2 granddaughters came into the house by themselves a 'couple' of afternoons 'just' to watch netflix/sky (as you bloody do!) He was gobsmacked and told her that it was just not on! When he told me I just flipped, I was so angry. I went and took her key back and shouted at her like I never had before! (I am quiet usually) She really couldn't understand what all the fuss was about! (We got new carpets before Christmas and dont even walk about in outdoor shoes). Partner has changed all the passwords to everything, he has ordered a ring door bell thing which is coming tomorrow. And on top of all of this we have both just tested positive with covid! I really have learnt my lesson over this and will never be so stupid and trusting again! Some people have such a blood nerve!

Bleeding hell OP, your neighbours are unbelievable. No wonder they kept asking you. The nerve of some people!

Hepzibar · 02/01/2023 11:11

Absolutely astounding that someone would think that is ok. There was probably more but that is all she is admitting too.

Outraged doesn't cut it tbh. The bloody nerve, entitlement of some people is off the scale of what is acceptable.

This is definitely not normal behaviour OP and I am sorry for you

AngelontopoftheTree · 02/01/2023 11:13

That's shit op, sorry to hear you have covid on top of everything else.
I hate to say it, but I think she's admitting to the bare minimum in case you see something odd in your house. You were absolutely right to go ape-shit 😡🤬

Lsquiggles · 02/01/2023 11:24

Omg the cheek of some people, what the hell?!

So sorry you have covid on top of all this stress too

I’m glad you lost your shit at them!

I doubt they just watched TV, they must have stayed over.

Womencanlift · 02/01/2023 11:33

Funny how she came out just as you were unpacking the car. My bets are she was waiting on you and wanted to get in first before you properly examined the house

If it was me I would test her by saying something is off about a bedroom to see if she admits to then staying over

Unbelievable CFs!

Hope you both feel better soon

Soothsayer1 · 02/01/2023 11:43

I can't help thinking they just gave you an edited version of what really happened?
That is extremely weird behaviour

AutumnCrow · 02/01/2023 11:44

I'd be changing all the sheets anyway.

What a bloody ballache to come home to.
