"I doubt that your neighbour is that heavy footed and I seriously doubt that she feels she is entitled to wake you. Does she know? Have you discussed it with her?" Well, she is you'll just have to take my word for it! The previous owners only let me in on it when I was moving in. She has another flat mate there who I can barely hear. She walks around barefoot on her heels...but, like you say no proper insulation in Victorian conversions is a bit of a nightmare...And yes - we have had several words. Like I said, I stoppped my parties (just not possible in such a small space when others need to sleep at 11.30pm) but come the Summer - she's yogatastic with the sparrow!! Why else would I be up at 7am on a Saturday :)
