What time is reasonable to start vaccuuming again?

[AllOfTheCoffee]

If I start at 8am as a one off, will my neighbours hate me?

They have primary school aged children, so should be up.

I would never start hoovering at 8am even if the neighbours have children and should be up. I always wait until after 9am as I think that extra hour is significant.

9am here too.

8am sounds great, especially if they have young kids so they will be up. My retired neighbours start hoovering the bedroom (next to ours) at 6.30-7am! When they worked they were up by 5am and in bed by 7pm due to work so the habit stuck. Actually they are a bit later now they'really retired - slackers! My husband works nights and goes to bed by 8am ish so he's glad they get it over with.
If we waited until 9am we'd never get anything done as I have to leave the house at 8.

I have a LL inspection I am really anxious about.

I know I will get a snotty letter in three days time telling me they're coming back to check I've hoovered because it wasn't done to a satisfactory standard today.

I did it yesterday, but with a dog and two kids, by the time the LA rocks up it will look like I don't own hoover.

She's coming between 8:45am and god knows when.

I normally hoover at 3pm, so this really is a one off, not a regular occurance. Is it okay just for today, do you think?

It's hoovering, not drilling. You could always pop round and apologise later and tell them it was a one-off.

It's fine.

Really you should concentrate on this harassment you're putting up with every month. Nobody needs an inspection that often unless you're in an institution of some sort.

Sorry - a landlord's inspection which says your hoovering isn't up to scratch? That isn't what the inspection is about and I would just ignore. They can take a running jump if they think they can reinspect your hoovering when you clearly do do it. It's also unacceptable to not give a firm time for the inspection. This is a crap agent treating a tenant with disdain. Stand up to them.

It's fine. It's still term time. And it's a one off.

We sometimes vacuum at 8am, we hate doing homework on a weekend and try to get it all done during the week, usually on an evening after work but if we're going out we do it before work. The neighbour's haven't moaned but then I've never asked, they have a houseful of toddlers so I doubt they even notice.

I think 8 is ok.

I'm going to end up in an institution at this rate, GamerChick.

I'm stuck in circles atm, the more I clean, the more filth I find.

CAB is my first stop after they've left.

I have been known to Hoover at 8am on the occasional weekday. Also at 8pm if we have a particular patch that needs clearing (I'm looking at you, BigDog). Neighbours have never been bothered, it's normal 'household' noise and it's not like you're drilling, hammering or playing the trumpet!
