My defenses are suffering a major war of attrition brought on by interrupted sleep due to guests' children screaming, puking at all hours, slamming doors, toilet seats and the laissez-faire attitude of the parents throughout. All this punctuated by an intrusion into our private bathroom at 3am to BORROW a nappy!!!!, (which they ran out of two days ago and have not bothered to purchase more despite the fact that we have a convenient store 20 steps from our flat!) who in their right mind does not have the good sense or maternal instinct to make sure their rugrat has these basic necessities. Father is now in the kitchen eating us out or bacon,organic eggs,orange juice,organic milk etc and has not had the courtesy to once offer to replenish any of these groceries (Huguenot will understand the difficulties in purchasing such things here). He even went so far last night to help himself (uninvited) to a tipple of the single malt they had brought us as a gift on their arrival. Now Mrs Mac and I have had ample time in the wee hours to discuss all these events and we have come to the conclusion that some people are just not socially integrated and therefore haven't got a f***ing clue how to behave in normal society. But then as LuvPeckham suggests, if the highlight of you life is waiting for the day that you top yourself then I can probably suffer a little bit more of this before they are ejected to a nearby hotel. Got to keep positive the Olympics kick off tonight!!!!

Chav - that brought all sorts of wrong connertations to mind there....


Seamusmac - Personally I think you should do what I did once when my cousin abused boundries like that... I removed all food, drink, toilet rolls and so on and refused to replace them... It did result in a stand off for a few days until we both met in the Upland Cafe for breakfast without realising that we were both eating 3 meals a day there (and using their loo) ... made us laugh and allowed us to talk...


OR you need to say to these people that they need to move on as it is causing problems in the house and you are sorry they are lazy greedy and freeloading feckers but that isn't your problem to cope with...(change the locks when they go out for the day !!!)


as a former boss of mine said years ago, "The things you have to put up with when you don't own a gun" not sure what he meant but....

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
