A sainsbugs card will work just as well, Cassius.

Diced some steak and fried it, added chestnut mushrooms, onions, boiled carrots & parsnips sling altogether in a fat saucepan with half a veg stock cube. mmmm yeah.

Some of us yearn to be dribbled on, that is the more absorbent of us.

Post an asda card with a few quid credit on it sometimes, so she can get cut price booze and possibly some fruit n veg. I assume there is an asda;-)

That is all very well spadetownboy but when you are beseiged by noise that you cannot escape from it is depressing, and the older you get the less noise you can cope with.

Is it in your contract? Has it just been decided to do this, or was it always the case? Is there extra pay given for these weird working hours?

I presume the flat is rented by the people upstairs and the landlord lives elsewhere. You could explain the problem to the landlord and ask if he would consider insulating the floor with fibre board, and tongue and groove chipboard on top, and finally with carpet and underlay. Other than that you would have to insulate your ceilings. A friend had similar noise problems when the flat above changed hands, the new people were heavy footed and on polished hard wood flooring. The previous occupiers walked bare foot so no problems. When the noise became so unbearable she insulated the ceiling it cost around 2K in 2002 for a 12x9 foot room and she felt that it only stopped 20% of the noise. It did not stop the impact or vibration of anyone with a heavy tread. What was more effective was when the next tenant had fitted carpets layed. She also invested in ear plugs ?2 per set from super drug.

It will only be the first couple of days or so until the routine kicks in, then it will feel you never had any time off at all. Before you know it he'll find a buddy to play with, and he'll be in school five minutes later.;-)

Perhaps you should offer a proportion of the cost of the underlay in your next letter to them or the landlord. Or wait until she gets a new baby and then they would probably move for more space.

Sean wants to live in the bookies too, eh quids;-)

It was suggested that if they had polled the great British public, then hanging would not have ceased when it did, as around 70% of us believed it was an essential tool, to deal with all those murderous villains.

In my teens it was 2.8$ per pound

18 days to go guys!

It has less value now for example, in 1974 I purchased a 3 bed house for ?14,500 In 2003 I purchase a 4 bed house for ?495,000 I rest my case.
