I live in a semi and my room is at the end of the house where it joins the next one. Now as usual, my neighbours are having pointless DIY done so i got woken up by builders banging on the scaffolding right next to my window at 8 this morning!
All they've done since they've moved in is do DIY, and they've lived there about 5 years. Why didn't they just buy a brand new house? They also copy whatever we do to our garden....my dad builds a water feature - they try to do one, my dad makes an archway over the gate with the hedge - they do the same, my dad gets a BBQ and one of those tall gas heaters, they get the same. God my neighbours are annoying. I believe now they're having another set of stairs put in :rolleyes:
Grrr, anyone else woken up in a bad mood today? :mad:

8am?!? That's late
I have been up since 6.30
Zero sympathy here.
Ditto.
We live opposite a hotel that has been undergoing major works since the beginning of the year and we're woken up at 7am Mon - Fri and 8am Sat/Sun. Just about used to it now.
i didnt get to sleep till after 1am because of the heat.
deal with it. 8am is a lie in.
and why is it pointless DIY when they want to make their house better? 5 years isnt that long to live in a house!!! its not just a case of "oh im bored, lets move" it doesnt always work like that.
tut tut.
I'm sorry mate, we'll just stop everything in the world, and make it run totally for your benefit.
They probably want to get as much done before the storm hits.
Also, they may enjoy doing DIY. I have heard that these people exist. I wish they existed in my house
DIY is great fun!!! what is there not to like about it? maybe its a male thing, but theres something satisfying about starting something and seeing it all the way through to the finished result.
I like that and get that satisfaction out of cooking or making a pair of curtains etc.
However, I don't get it from putting a shelf up, decorating a room etc.
Abbie didnt get up until 8.30am though which is nice, she didnt go to bed until 11pm though, again cos of the heat which wasnt so nice.
And now there is a fucking spider on my ceiling :grump:
She's a right short tempered madam aswell - just the other week she had a tantrum because her sandwiches were cut the wrong way. So she got put in the porch and threw one of her dads boots through the glass pane in the door. Shes also bought her bedroom door off its hinges cause she was banging it during a tantrum. She's a danger to herself!! It probably cause she doesn't get alot of sleep. She's never had a routine....not good.
omg that's terrible.
i was at work at 8.
are you joking? :eek:
I work nights so i would kick a fuss about being woken anytime before 12, but im a heavy sleepers, i may just get woken out up if my bedroom was being bouldozed
Nope.
The boy goes to work at 7.30 so I get up at the same time as he does and make the most of the day. I'd say that would be about an average time to get up for work etc.
or for work if i get given that job
There was a time when I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but sleeping til 8am is like heaven.
It's all down to your own perspective though, what you're used to.
And building at that time is early.
I'd give you more sympathy if your neighbour was hoovering at 8AM which was what my neighbour was doing yesterday. :grump:
Although I can sympathise because I'm a lazy fucker usually but once you get used to it, it's fine.
Becky I can so sympathise with you. My grandparents neighbour is a night hawk and does all her cleaning at night - such antisocial hours like 2am. Grr! Thank God I don't stay there anymore.
Had to do an enquiry for a client to the Admiral call centre earlier, got some muppet with no idea what he was doing, sat on hold for about an hour and I got paid for every second.
"Sorry about the delay, sir, I will not be much longer!"
"You just take your time, buddy boy."
Bit cream crackered though.
its eased off over the years luckily
