I HATE THEM! Windchimes should be outlawed. We had a previous thread about this. People who have them don't realise how much their neighbours loathe them.

Any mileage in asking them to take it down or move it as it's keeping child awake or something?

copingvquietly · 05/07/2008 23:35

if it survives tonightill have to say something tonmorrow.if i drink eneough wine i might be able to pluck up the courage to do something about it.
i need a plan!

WHere are the wretched things in relation to their own house? Can they hear them constantly banging about in the wind at night?
I have often fantasised about leaning over fence with giant shears etc but maybe actually talking to them about the fact it's driving you beserk would be the place to start.
Go in apologetically though, and blame it on the baby!

MmeLindt · 05/07/2008 23:39

Do you get on ok with your neighbours?

lucyellensmum · 05/07/2008 23:40

go and wrap it in cotton wall, no damage done, but it will be quiet

copingvquietly · 05/07/2008 23:41

i get on ok with thm yes but ive had wine and want actionam thinking get thm down in one piece then a randsom note

OP posts:
lucyellensmum · 05/07/2008 23:41

alternatively just steal it, they might actually be grateful, why would anyone want these blasted things is beyond me.

Katisha · 05/07/2008 23:42

Ooh yes - what ransom would you demand?

moondog · 05/07/2008 23:42

Er.. why not go over and tell them politely that you can't take it?
They might actually listen.

copingvquietly · 05/07/2008 23:42

lots of wine

OP posts:
lucyellensmum · 05/07/2008 23:43

ransom note is a great idea, do it in paper cut outs and make them jump through hoops to get the things back. If they don't comply, send it back to them, chime by chime!

Joolyjoolyjoo · 05/07/2008 23:44

I'll swap you your windchime for the fireworks some imbecile is letting off here!!

YABU - someone did that to me once.
It was only a wee chime.
My Dad bought it for me

Katisha · 05/07/2008 23:47

Can you actually reach them?

Heated · 05/07/2008 23:49

We no longer stay over at the ILs but prefer a long late night drive home because we're kept awake by the bloody windchimes sounding in discordant cacophony plus the sound of a mini waterfall that makes you want to pee all night combined with next door's yappity nocturnal carpet rug.

copingvquietly · 05/07/2008 23:50
