    Ivyleaf, Softstuff is correct one of my BIL's renovates and builds houses and flats and the rules are stringent on noise reduction, parking and many other things.

    For those with a strong stomach I have posted a pic of me in my boots on my blog.

    We're off to see DD1 this morning, it is DGD's 12th b'day, we will take over a card and some chocolate and give her some money for clothes.
    Chin up, Titus out.

    Thanks Softstuff and Hester. Churchmouse has managed to read the text on the plans and there are proposals to soundproof between the two flats, but the party wall isn't mentioned. I don't think the owner realises how much we can hear.

    Thanks for cheering me up with the pic on your blog Hester :D I hope DGD has a lovely birthday. Money for clothes (nearly said cash for clothes :D) sounds an excellent idea.

    Lovely day here today so I will do some more weeding and put in some of the crocus corms we came across buried among the gardening stuff by the back door. They are a couple of years old but still feel fine, so worth a go, though I expect we'll lose a lot of them to the squirrels.

    Sorry to hear of potential problems ivy leaf hope you manage to get something sorted tomorrow
    Lovely day here so went for a good walk at a ruined castle nearby that I haven't been to since I was a kid.
    Friend taking me for a meal out tonight to celebrate my birthday which was on Thursday. Going to TGIF which is a little overpriced imo but it's his treat so not complaining.
    Hope everyone else is having a nice sunny Sunday xx

    After a really horrible night the RV hauled me into A&E at 7am, and we were there 5 hours waiting on bloods etc. Inflamed gallbladder. So yet another scan - I'll be shining in the dark soon.

    It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

    There but for fortune go you and I.

    Mar look after yourself eh?
  • Enjoy your meal Shanks.
    Glad you liked my pic Ivyleaf!
    Poor you Mar, I hope you get some help soon.
    Visited DD1 and my L&M stripped on bedroom wall for her, the house is a right bodge job, the previous owner painted purple gloss over some wall paper and then plastered over some of that!
    The mind boggles!
    Chin up, Titus out.
