No worries Waves, I didn't take anything from it other than you are trying to support me and help. I'm more a honey than vinegar person too. If one steps off on the wrong foot it's hard to rebalance. But if one is decent from the outset then it's much easier.

I'm not a confrontationalist anyway. Having agoraphobia I'm much more inclined to sit at home crying about it than do anything about it.

I came up with a solution anyway. I have industrial strength ear plugs, a large bag of them. So I just stuffed my ears and the only thing that got through was the actual duff duff noise. Which stopped at 6.30pm precisely.

They're not bad boys I'm sure if I asked them they'd tone it down, but going to ask them would have me fainting lol...I think the Il Divo idea is better...at about 7am. That way they all get up and wonder what the noise is, then I wait to listen for their rapcrap.

Wouldn't mind too much but it's just so anti-social as well. Never saw a rapper who wasn't shot, stabbed, maimed, drugged or murdered...

Monday here today, nice and quiet they all left for work at about 7.30am *sighs with peaceful heart & mind*

((((hugs))))
