Move into my new place tomorrow :D

I remember when I used to go to bed at 10pm, I'd get woken up at 11.30 by loud music going through three floors which kept me awake till 2.30 and the music would go off. Then my next door neighbors would start up from 3.30 till 5am, When I finally got to sleep I'd be woken up at 7.30 by my upstairs neighbor banging cupboards, dropping things and shouting at himself. I ended up so tired, that I would go to the local lake in the warmth of the sun and fall asleep! I couldn't even stay in my own home when I had the stomach operation and I did end up with multiple stress related stomach issues!

In the last year i've lived in panic mode every time the front flat door was shut, as I knew it was time for noise. I ended up fearing coming home, When I was upset I couldn't go home, I had no where to go. Remember that story of that guy stabbing his upstairs neighbor? It got really close to that, thankfully I kept on telling myself you'll be moving soon, not long to go now.

Those on OCUK that have dealt with sleepless nights due to noise can really understand just how it can really destroy a person.


Thanks for all the best wishes guys! I'll get some pictures up of the place when it's done :)

Did you ever think of going up and telling him to STFU?

Yes, face to face! He looked at the floor and said, "sorry for making that noise two months ago, I dropped my shoe". Then hummed and walked off

He has paranoid schizophrenia

Just last week when I came home, he was shouting " The spirits are going to get me, the spirits are in me ". Not sure what he was watching, Most Haunted?
 
Going by his repetitive actions, He may also have OCD. But he does have PS, I spoke to his mother, which on occasion can make him much worse on a Sunday when she visits :p

Though away from Sunday, you can hear him screaming " SHUT UP, STOP IT, LEAVE IT ALONE........ STOP IT, BE QUIET " When he's completely on his own, he makes his own damn noise and tells himself to shut up because he thinks it's someone else ;)

It wasn't :(

Also, this place is just up the road from here and close to my family which means I can stay in the area I like :D. I was looking at Margate but it's far far worse, good prices, huge flats but the area was nasty

What town you living in at the moment?
 
Nice one :) My upstairs neighbour is actually very good 90% of the time. She has the odd party now and then which is fine, but every Saturday her young niece comes over and seems to like nothing more than running from one end of the apartment to the other wearing clogs. I didnt think it was possible for such a small person to make so much noise. Fingers crossed she wants to focus on her career and not kids otherwise I will have to move. Could not take that kind of noise every day.

Next house will be a detached property thats for sure.

I'm knackered now! Dizzy and Tired, but apart from some adjustments to where my computer must go and a lick of paint, it's so much bigger!

£300 a month, both water bills included :)

Curtains fixed tomorrow :)

Don't worry i'll keep an eye on the place, but I don't see me living here longer than 6 months.

I went to bed about midnight and was woken up by the shutting of a door below me and what sounded like ethnic conversation and it went on till 2.30am. I couldn't sleep and was shaking really badly, i'm very close to an emotional breakdown. The place before and now this, I now panic at the slightest noise as someone runs down the flat stairs or shuts a door. I didn't want to come back here and kinda broke down emotionally earlier as well.

I did speak to them but it was someone else that answered and she said she would tell her, but I'm a complete wreck now. I haven't eaten in two days, don't want to eat e.t.c
