Finally, we've been vindicated!

Remember me telling you about the evil girls on the ground floor of our building whose excessive mid-week partying keep us up at nights? Well both Lexie and me wrote them separate (but very polite) notes asking them to please keep the noise down past 11pm during the week. Last night that notice was thoroughly ignored.

I didn't get to sleep until 3.15am.

So this morning I got straight onto the landlord and told him in no uncertain terms that I would not put up with that. From Lexie's perspective, it even seemed the girls were vindictive in last night's effort. They were jumping up and down to wake Preston and, when he started barking, they would stop. Then they'd start again just when Lexie had settled the puppy down.

Our landlord has given us full licence to ring the police and given them his cell phone number if their behaviour gets out of hand again. Plus he's not renewing their lease beyond August. What's the bet they'll trash the place before they're dragged out? But the point is that they'll be gone, and that makes me very happy indeed.
