24.08.10

The last week has seen the return of the bleach blonde woman - the shouting has slowly but surely started to build up again.
Two nights ago, ELEVEN of them were standing around outside making a row.
Tonight, they decided 10.20pm was an acceptable time to put up shelving. Alongside our bedroom, where a 5 month old and his tired mom is trying to sleep. I hammered the wall back to let them know there were people in our room that needed a bit of courtesy shown towards them. They went mad, and seemingly everyone in their house took to hammering the walls, like rapists in a prison banging the cells when a policeman walks past.
That said, they stopped banging about 5 mintues later, after what I assume to be a few sulky bangs to show that they're not stopping for us.
If they carry on, I shall go round and knock the front door and politely ask them to have some respect. I shall record the conversation on my camera, just so that it's recorded that I am asking for a bit of respect, in an equally respectful manner.

MIDNIGHT:
They've woken both Elizabeth, and Lisa up. I went into the street to see if I could view first hand what exactly they were banging at - they are putting up wardrobes. Wondering what to do, or to put it another way, trying not to go mental at them - to collect my thoughts and calmly ask them to stop, I stood in the doorway of our house. Luckily someone came out for a cigarette, not sure who as it isn't one of the people who actually live there (who do?). I asked him, rather curtly, to shut up with the banging and have some consideration for the neighbours - we have a five month old trying to sleep, and they've woken our children up twice already. He extended a hand and apologized. I accepted because I'm civil and polite (or is that stupid?) and we'll see what happens next. Any more banging and I will phone up their landlord first thing in the morning.

1.20AM

Still banging, and talking loudly whilst they construct the worlds 'longest time taken to construct' wardrobe. Landlord to be called!
