I know this sounds daft but last year i got my daughter a paddling pool it wasnt huge but big and two of the neighbours went and got bigger, then we decided to do some major re-decorating (re flooring and such) and the two neighbours were both straight out to diy stores at first i found it funny this year ive got an 8 ft trampoline so one got 10ft and other got 12ft now its plain annoying why do people have to go one better and they actually bragg about things they got bigger why why why why?????

Because they can, and want to show they can. they are probably up to their ears in debt trying to keep up and competing. take a good vacation from them. better yet let them think you are gone or let them know through someone else you are going to a great 2 week vacation. they will both go for 4 and 6 and you will be able to enjoy yourself without them for a good while.
