Neighbour rant!

My neighbour is starting to really annoy me.
She has come out and had words with my children and the kids next door to her. She told them to keep the ball away from her car - that's fine I can understand that. But she then said to the two girls who were playing catch who were no where near her car and I mean you two as well and your mother would say the same as me.
My daughter was upset by this as she never really plays outside bearing mind other kids have had footballs out there and she don't say anything to them.

I really feel like saying something to her as she always said to me on a previous occasion, oh I banged on your wall last night as you ds was having a tantrum- hope you don't mind.

I know i'm not alone as my other neighbour has had problems with her, like when she sprayed her fence she moaned about the paint specks in her garden-. The fact was there were hardly any.

She has a child herself but I find her so funny. Her ds is never allowed to talk over the fence to my children or the otherside- how strange is she is. larsxx

She sounds like a miserable baggage - what a cheek banging on your wall!

It sounds like you and the other neighbour should get your heads together and be as difficult with her as she is with those around her.

twogorgeousboys, Yes I think I might do that. I don't think I'm over-reacting. But I know she might say something to me when I see her next and I want to be ready with a good answer.

Any suggestions mumsnetters ?

I usually find "I'm afraid you've mistaken me for somebody who's interested", said with a bright smile, usually works well.

What a silly old bat. Take up singing madrigals in the garden if she carries on bashing your wall.

Lars, please say that to her - its SO cool and cutting!
