Just got a card throught the door "to all at number 76"- it basically
said:

"Our landlord tells us some of you have complained about the noise,
we're sorry we didn't realise it could be heard through the walls we
won't do it again. However we are holding a new year's party tomorrow,
we will try and keep the noise down and it is a one off- from all at
78"

Alas for them, me at 76 is holding a party  tomorrow night so it's
going to be loud around here!

All at 78 have started early- about ten minutes ago- amateurs! A New
Years Party is a marathon not a sprint! We aren't even expecting
guests until about 8.30 and even that's three and a half hours before
the big bit so we'll pace ourselves. At this rate, all at 78 will be
trying to sleep by 10.00 and having to come round and complain about
our noise!

Someone down the street just started their party with a spectacular
firework display- very nice to look at but it made the cats a bit
jumpy- they're funny about fireworks, Dunzi will go and watch them but
Sarsi isn't too sure

Zak would sit in the window every July 4th.  I really got a kick out of
that.

It's good of them to have apologized for past noise issues.

Not really- next door is a student flat or flats and we've got used to
a din coming from there so a card giving advance warning is nothing-
some previous tenants got round it by inviting us to their party ( we
couldn't possibly complain if we had been invited!) always wondered
what would have happened if we had turned up- that was the party that
was so loud we slept in the living room and were woken by the noise of
various things being thrown out of the windows including the toilet!

That's the oldest trick in the book!  Invite the neighbors so they can't
complain about the noise!

I've never understood this logic. I used to have a neighbor who would
occasionally have a loud party (maybe once a year, but wow, was it LOUD).
It wasn't the human noise, it was the stereo. The first time it happened
I was on the phone to friends, begging for couch space.

I felt more like I couldn't complain because it was such an infrequent
occurrence and I had received advance warning, than because I had been
invited. If this had been an every-weekend event, I definitely would have
complained!

But Lesley, you have a good defense - your own party! So have a good
time and Happy New Year! (Which is not very far away for you.)

As I suspected from the early start they shut up pretty much by 10.30
I doubt any of them were awake to see the New Year in
