Does anyone have nosy neighbours? I have such a nosy neighbour next door to me she spends all day watching me come in and out of my house she is like the Aunt Bessie's advert only she hasn't purchased the ginormous binoculars yet!!

Hehehehehehe this made me giggle.Yes i stay in a street full of pensioners then theres me at the end with 2 teens and dogs and cats.... When i walk down the road with 6 dogs,3 at either side every single curtain twtches lol which is why im looking for a house in the country xxx

 

[EvaClareEva]

Sometimes living in the country is worse make sure you get a house detached with fields all around lol xx

Ha ha ha ... picturing twitching curtains now ... hold your high Mandy walking 6 wonderful dogs at a time

Clare, just give your neighbour a wave .. it may make her day

Wish I had time to nose at my neighbours ... more exciting things to be doing, well training or playing my dogs is exciting to me .. wild life I have lol

 

[EvaClareEva]

That's it when you have children and pets you don't have time to look out of the window haha xx

 

[JoJo]

You dont have time to do much at all lol .. but as long as the kids and poos are happy .. then we are happy mummies

How is Lottie? .. think we need some more Lottie pics when you get time xxx

 

[EvaClareEva]

Lottie is good she has a new tag saying High maintenance xx

 

[JoJo]

I have one now he waves to me when I come home from work. We have community rules ...

 

[EvaClareEva]

Omg haha x

 

[crazy lady]

i dont have time either to notice if i am watched by the neighbours, but i do know i am a source of amusement, our immediate neighbours find it comical to watch me first put the tortoise on the lawn in the morning, then if it is warm the guinea pigs go out in the runs, so at least that gives them something to talk about!

 

[puppylove]

Oh this thread struck a chord. When returning from shopping in town I would turn my carrier bags inside out so my neighbours couldn't tell where I had been. So sad I know but I hate nosy people.

 

[Kirsty]

You may chuckle these community rules are serious.... Car parking & visitor parking, rubbish bin collection position, notification of holiday absences and workmen disturbance.

Burglars dont stand a chance, for that though i am thankful.

Good job he can't see or hear me talking to our fishies then...

 

[EvaClareEva]

That made me laugh about the carrier bags I have a very large lawn at the front i have to park and walk up so everything I carry up is on show I hide it all now haha

I live in a block of 6 flats and the old boy on the groundfloor has lived there for 40 years and thinks he owns the block. As his flat is on the groundfloor he can sit and see hlwho is coming and going! We have had our run insurance as he has told my friend off for putting coke cans in the non recycling bins!! He shouted at my parents for moving the recycling bins when they thought they were being helpful in putting them away!! The irony of it is that when people do do things they shouldn't, like when a removal van parked in my parking space, he's quick to tell you about it but doesn't do anything!!!!

I live in one of the less desirable areas of Manchester (The first few series of Shameless was filmed here....) so we tend of have a lot of people sitting about in the street and outside their houses all day, everyday. Generally with a can of extra strong (and I don't mean tea...). I would love to live in a place with a load of old ladies watching me, would at least be amusing rather than scary!!

 

[EvaClareEva]

Yes I suppose it could be worse..... Neighbours everybody needs good neighbours hahaha

 

[mum2bobs]

I wouldn't worry too much about curtain twitchers. I have a friend who, now she is older and not able to get out as much, has developed a healthy interest in watching the world (and neighbours) pass by.

She's not doing it out of sheer nosiness but I think it helps her feel that there is a life going on outside her front door. She doesn't get many visitors etc.

Curtain twitching isn't always a sign of sheer nosiness or malice - just maybe a sign that some people don't have much in the way of a social outlet

 

[Emily+Harry]

we have the nosiest neighbors here ever... they report back to land owner with a some crappy gossip... we had so many issues with the neighbours(one of them slashed my tyre as i parked in parking spot. But since getting rudi they actually like us all again :S strange neigbours xxx
have pics of my slashed tyre on my phone

 

[Happyad]

Neighbours need to be managed lol!
To ensure success I have different neighbours kids walking a dog each.
Another looks after the tortoises when we are away.
I do "cats" for two sets of neighbours during holidays and garden watering for the old neighbour lol
Therefore I have a fair chance that I'm not gonna get grief😊
They water my garden, tell me if the parking warden is about and never ever complain about barking dogs.
Currently on five dogs , three on holidays and my two.
Ahhh life in suburbia
