Thank you for your replies. It's extremely loud, as soon as you open the down stairs front door, you can hear the music- it sounds like a night club (during the day) We are both nursing students, so we are really busy during the week day and we cherish our weekend lie ins! If it gets worse, I'm going to get my boyfriend to have a word (yes, I am a coward ) Keeping a diary might be a good idea too. Oh yes, he also LOVES to use his skipping rope too................
