4. NIGHTMARE
NEIGHBOURSI’ve lived in a rented flat for the last six months and
until recently life has been very quiet and peaceful. But
now a new couple have moved in next door and they
are making my life impossible. The main problem is that
they have parties during the week that go on all night.
Sometimes their friends turn up at their flat at two or
three in the morning and when i complain they just tell
me to go away. My two children can’t sleep because of
the noise. So i don’t get enough sleep either. I was
doing evening classes twice a week, but i’ve had to give
them up because I’m too tired to go. Now when I get
home I just take off my coat, sit down in front of the TV
and fall asleep-until the party starts next door , of
course.
All this is making me very depressed and fed up and I
just can’t put up with the noise any longer. I like living
here and I get on well with all my other neighbours,
but these people are a nightmare , I don’t want to go
back to my parents’ house where we were living before,
but I don’t know what else to do. Do your readers have
any advice for me ?
