The property at no.49 has been empty since I let Impact Housing know I won't stand for er.."undesirables" moving in. It's obvious they can't find anybody suitable at the moment but at least it's quiet.
In actual fact, it's gone quiet at the other side of us too (we live on a terraced block) as Kenny, Amanda and their 3 kids have moved out during the week in order to move into somewhere bigger..at the other side of Town!
This means, in effect, we have no neighbours and it's great!
It won't last though because, according to Kenny, a nice lady with her 15 year old son are due to move into his old house. If the property on the other side of us remains empty I won't be too concerned about it due to all the problems we have had in the past with noisy neighbours and the like.
Kenny has moved into a new estate which is great for the kids as there are more green areas for them to let off steam in. However, my husband works to let this happen, if you get my drift. We would love to move but cannot afford it.
At least the in-laws have been cracking on with the walls in the hallway whilst I've been away and we're looking for wallpaper tomorrow. Should be fun..NOT!

i have a neighbor who knows EVERYONE'S business, she knows what time i wake, what time i go to bed, what time i use the bathroom, what i am eating, she lives above me and i hate it because she can hear what i am doing, AND she lets me know, so i have told her many times that when she starts to pay my rent and my bills she can complain as much as she likes, i have lived here 25 years, she's been here 4 years and all she does is moan about what other people are doing and she noise in the house, if you live in a large communal house made into flats, (expect noise) she is constantly whinges about noise, 2 people have moved out because of her constant griping and complaining, no wonder she doesn't have friends. so i made a suggestion, "if you don't like the noise" MOVE OUT, go somewhere where it's quiet, may i suggest THE MOON....simple as, this house would be a happier place if she went, she acts like the house warden, watching people, listening to what's going on, i have told her, if she ruffles me up the wrong way, she will know my dark side, we have never ever had anyone like that here and for the past 4 years she's been kissing the landlords butt, snitching on everyone for tiny things, i think she needs to go because no one in this house likes her or wants anything to do with her, they are all tired of her moaning, if she went, this house would be a happy one again, whilst she is here, NO ONE has any privacy

Oh dear, she sounds horrible.
I wouldn't like that one bit so I do sympathise. Is there anyone other than your landlord you could complain to? We have the local Council who send letters out to residents if they misbehave but only Housing Associations now have the power to actually evict people as it's them they pay the rent to, not the Council anymore.
I will send vibes over to you to try and get her to move out of her own free will, which would be nice I'm sure.

she is horrible, not only does she whine all the time, she's sneaky and sly, snitching on people then denying it, i saw right through this person the minute i met her, she tried to get into my business by telling me she was a councilor, i was having a tough time one time and her way of poking her nose in was to lie, she didn't even have a job, she just wanted to stick her nose in, so i asked her to show me her qualifications and all the work she had done as a councilor, she stammered, went red faced, so i told her to get out of my face before i did something i may regret, she knows i am onto her this is why she doesn't try to get on my bad side, i don't have to complain to my landlord, i just tell her flat out to get lost, she's a very miserable person and misery craves company, i would never be in her company because she bores the living sh out of me, i have nothing to talk to her about, i say hello and that's it, but i hate her underhand ways, she says she doesn't snitch on people, but i have known my landlord half my life and we do talk, when i told this woman to move out if she didn't like what's happening in the house, she stopped bothering me, but i did tell her that she's not important enough to bother with and if she got in my face she would see me at my worst, so she doesn't bother me, i just don't like sneaks and she is a sneak

That happened a while ago but I was surprised our long-term neighbours moved out. Everyone knew them down this street as they could be a bit loud at times, but harmless enough. When they first moved in next door they only had the two children but now, of course, they have a new addition in the 3 year old and I reckon they probably put their names down on the housing list as soon as their little boy came along so, eventually they could move into somewhere bigger, which is exactly what they've done.

It seems that you were somewhat unwilling to part with you long-term neighbours,although their moving out was to be expected.Yes, once some neighbours we get along with well move out,we always have a kind of feeling of being lost.

I do not really get your drift about your husband working to help Kenny, but it is good to be happy for their improvement. I hope you eventually get good neighbors all around.

Good luck with getting new neighbors. Hope you end up with some like I have. They are the kindest, most caring, delightful people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Teenagers are a bit loud..and so are kids, or were you talking about family squabbles? :)
I for one am so lost in my world that I never notice the presence or absence of my neighbors who believe me are at a distance of 5 feet from my door. :) Once my door is closed, I cant see them, or hear them. Hopefully, they feel the same way about me. However, we do greet each other off and on..

No teenagers..just kids around 8, 9 years old and a little one that's about 3. The parents are in their late 20s, early 30s I reckon but they've all gone now so it doesn't matter lol.
I must say though, it's eerie not hearing ANYTHING at all but I'm sure we'll get used to it.
