    Yep it's the bass, it sounds like they are constantly watching dark gritty films. Or my latest theory is some game such a Modern Warfare or something? The ex agreed it must be a game, when he was last here. I'd first assumed it was a movie and after 3 hours passed i was thinking !!!!!! how long is this movie. But it's so obviously a game :mad:

    HV worte the council a letter stating that the neighbour dispute and noise issues are causing me to have a low mood... Nothing was done i'm still in Band 4 for a move which is the lowest band there is, for people who just fancy a change. So when i look at the houses it always says "There are 50 people in front of you for this property"

    Oh btw would i be showing myself as total stalkerish if i admit to looking up the Freak on facebook? lol... Well his pics were public and from one pic i can see that their sofa is on my kitchen wall and next to it is a stereo. So i guess they've got the TV hooked up to the stereo.

    Right-click and save the photos Beenie, and tell the housing officer you looked at their FB pictures, their stereo is against your wall and suggest he asks them to move it and solve the problem.

    Me too.

    Edit: and make sure your HV updates the letter with concerns about domestic violence and your ex who deliberately brought toxic amounts of "substances" into your home.

    :grouphug: to Krystal's family.
    Scruff - I'm a really bad mum as I didn't even know she could count, yeah I count stuff with her but never actually tested her IYKWIM.
    I discovered Alice could count just when I was thinking I ought to make a conscious effort to count things (like stairs) so that she would learn. The previous day my Auntie was convinced she'd been saying "four" after she's said, "One two three" but I didn't think she could possibly know them. I guess they pick up more than we realise.
    Any chance the next north east meet can be more northern? I'm in northumberland and dont drive lol (or I could tag on the scottish one if they dont mind, trains are cheap enough if you book in plenty time)
    Beenie's the furthest south so as long as she's happy, I would've thought further north would be fine.

    Don't they have to provide lessons as part of PE unless they're above a certain standard? I can't see that they can justify charging people who have reached the standard and below the standard it would be compulsory so they couldn't charge them.

    Oh I know, it's ridiculous isn't it. At the boys school we have to ay £3pw or they don't go...they only do 10 lessons in the whole year too, as they have to give all the classes in that year a chance to go! When I was little swimming was compulsory, it was therefore free and EVERY week for the whole year!

    Susan, afaik swimming is no longer considered compulsory, it is now up to the individual school to provide it as a lesson(if they choose to), although they won't recieve funding, hence asking the parents to pay!!
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Omg the police just rang. I was totally tempted to start ranting about next door LOL.

    But they were asking me where the ex is. Yeah, cheers for ringing at this time of night.

    SS my HV wrote a 2nd letter about the DV issues, i didn't get a copy of that one though so can't be certain it actually happened. I'm a bit scared to reveal my facebook findings :o I got the impression the Housing Officer was a bit of a shitstirrer when she visitd me a few times so i reckon she'd tell them what i said. I've already told her they must have speakers or equipment on my wall cos of the sheer volume, but obviously common sense hasn't reached her yet.
