I keep getting people looking in too. I'm getting some film for my window where I can see out and they can't see in.Kind of a neighbour story but more asking for advice.
My neighbours kid has an annoying habit of pressing his face against my lounge window and staring at me. You can’t see in my lounge unless your face is up against it.
I want something to deter him from coming on my front lawn and doing that. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of a planter box so he physically can’t get up to my window but resent having to pay 100s for it!
I’m sick of having my blinds shut tbh!
Yeh I definitely feel lucky when I read this thread!I would just smile and wave, it sounds like the wee one can’t help it really and his parents will be telling him not to do it.
So yeah, smile and wave and be pleasant. I know it’s not nice and annoying however it won’t be forever, they will probably grow out of it. To be honest I wish this was my problem our neighbour is a steroid user with a massive chip on his shoulder, aggressive and always trying to intimidate us.xx
I hate fire pits. One of my neighbours burns stuff all the time in the summer and has a fire pit going in the evenings at weekends. Garden waste and paper -at least once a week; it’s usually in the mornings when everyone has their windows open to let in the cool morning air. Thankfully he’s sold his house so hoping he will be gone by time it gets really hot.Neighbours with fire pits. Our next door neighbour had a fire pit going last night but it stunk our house out. I had opened the windows upstairs for a bit, went up to close them and wondered what the smokey smell was. Stunk the house out

My old neighbour had a log burner in a mid terrace and it stunk. The grey Ash was constantly all over the driveway and our cars. I know it wasn't intentionally but it was so annoyingNeighbours with fire pits. Our next door neighbour had a fire pit going last night but it stunk our house out.

This is a good question. I was all set to get a firepit, seduced by the idea of crackling flames and all the family sitting round....but I was told by a frieend that the reality is everyone goes home with the clothes & hair smelling of smoke and it's not very considerate to your neighbours in a small suburban garden. Plus there are all the potentially worrying particulates in the smoke! So I've gone for a halogen heater and given up on my dreams of toasting s'mores over my own roaring fire!Neighbours with fire pits.

Relate to this a lot. My downstairs neighbour smokes in his flat all year round and in the summer in the garden too. It comes in through the vents and my bathroom is above is garden so when it’s hot (my flat is a major sun catcher) I have the window open and I’ve come home to what smells like someone’s hot boxed my flat! Drives me mad.Not a fire pit but cannabis. I don't know when it became acceptable for anyone to smoke it so much that even with the windows closed but the summer vents open, it permeates my home.
I'm sure defra smokeless regulations only cover chimneys on buildings, not gardens .edit- obviously burning all sorts of crap isn't allowed, but wood and charcoal can be burned outdoors.Oh god, I have been wanting to get a chiminea for our garden though we’re in a smokeless borough so we have to burn certain things so I don’t think it will disturb anyone at the end of our garden. Don’t want to be the hated neighbour!
You can buy frosted glass covering for windows on Amazon for a few pounds. People use it on their windows if they live right next to the path, etc.Kind of a neighbour story but more asking for advice.

Ive just realised why my house and garden have stuck of smoke the past few days - someone must have a fire pit. I ran to the tumble dryer at first thinking it was exploding, then went out to the garden where I could tell it was from outside but it wasn't a barbecue smell really.Neighbours with fire pits.

Thanks. It’s not so much that Im worried about him seeing in, it’s the fact that he comes into my garden at all. As long as he can get to the window, he would still press his face against it because he has impulse issues. And seeing that face appear freaks me out. So I was thinking of something that will be an obvious barrier like a flower bed or something that obviously signals that he can’t access the window so don’t botherYou can buy frosted glass covering for windows on Amazon for a few pounds.

Incorrect. Some children and adults with “issues” cannot understand personal space, boundaries or what is seen as socially acceptable. I work with children like this on a daily basis - they will eventually get bored but its something they’re fascinated by currently.Where are his parents when he's gawping in your window? I know you've said he has issues, but that's no excuse for them not to tell him he can't keep looking in your window. Any kid can learn that it's rude.
So annoying Have the exact same as yourself. Soon as l go to turn into my drive the smell hits you. As they are working from home its constant. Only time get a break is when they go out.Not a fire pit but cannabis.
