Comments on: Looking for some advice, plus randonymity http://www.stumblingoverchaos.com/archives/599 I used to internet date. Now I read blogs instead. Knitting, reading, bicycling, and cat parenting. It's a wild life.

In my first place there were kids upstairs which was awful at the weekends. You can't ask kids not to play can you (like cats really.......) so I just got earplugs for the weekends. Had another neighbour someone else that used to complain non stop at our decorating when we moved in. Came to a head when he came round one evening when DH was only using a screwdriver to put a lock on our bedroom door as we had my stepson staying. I'd had enough and told him what to do with himself. They moved after and we only then realised how bad the noise through the adjoining wall was when the new neighbours from hell arrived. We moved and never will I get a house that has adjoining chimneys! The lack of soundproofing is unbelievable..... Tricky one, hope you manage to sort it ;)

They'll tire out and sleep at night instead of being so nocturnal. Also, don't leave lights on at night and put curtains up in especially light rooms. They won't feel so much like staying awake.

It was my favorite last year. PS that whole Sufjan Stevens Christmas CD is excellent and worth purchasing. It was my favorite last year.

Maybe you could get your neighbor a cat of her own to keep her awake so she won't notice Chaos and May :o) Hey, those look like Vikings socks.

I do not believe they actually wake her up. While I sympathize with her, it's really her problem not yours. Lots of people who live in close quarters with other people and animals use ear plugs in order to get a good night's sleep.
