    Casperthefriendlyghost, i sympathise with you. I was in a similair situation a few years ago, we had unsavoury neighbours in a block of flats, also a house conversion, they would drum and base music all the time, sometimes right through the night. Sundays would be their fave days, it would be on from 9 in the morning till 11 at night, it started to drive me mad!

    Its a shame that it has to be you that moves out, but peace of mind is more important sometimes. Best of luckx

    Evening people:D

    looks like everyone has had busy days:T :T

    Andan glad you are feeling back to your normal self. How long have you got to go to the end of term? Could you not stick out job till then? On the other hand if it is really getting you down that much you may be better leaving and put your time into looking for something better - suppose it depends on the finances. Good luck with whatever you decide.

    Casper- :mad: :mad: at the neighbours from hell. It's so frustrating when you can't get anything done about anti social behaviour. If you have to move I hope you get somewhere quiet that you can afford, though it seems so unfair:mad: .

    Didn't manage a no spend day:rolleyes: spent £3.90 in asda but everything i bought was a bargain:D and is now in storecupboard:D

    -Done loads of housework and gardening which is free and keeps me from spending!
    -Have become engrossed in an excellent book I picked up for £1 from a charity shop- money well spent.
    -Will do my clicks in a mo

    Thanks Sophiesmum, the end of term is 23rd of June, but the place is really getting me down and i am leaving then anyway so figure going two weeks earlier isn't going to make much difference. I also have lots of job interviews lined up for the next few weeks and interviews for voluntary work and counselling courses so actually being at work is getting in the way of all these! I am lucky that i am actually not in debt. I have credit cards but have enough in savings to pay them off, plus our rent is covered by flatmate and foreign student, so only bills to pay. Part of me thinks why not stick out the next two weeks but then the other part of me thinks if i am going what difference does it really make.:rotfl:Decisions, decisions! Thanks for asking though.x
