For us all get anything off our chest, no matter how small. It's cathartic.

What's been needling you this week?

I slipped a disc in my spine a couple of weeks ago and my mobility is still limited and the pain is still bad. Our downstairs neighbour doesn't seem to understand the concept of doorstops and instead he just slams his doors all day over and over again, maybe he's pissed off at me because I stomped on the floor when he was playing loud music at midnight. On top of that there's the bloke next door who has one of the most vile sounding smokers coughs I've ever heard, gets up for work at 4am and sounds like he's wretching, lovely to be woken up by that. Plus the whole building constantly stinks of weed from another downstairs neighbour. Oh and we're on the top floor so it's been a million degrees. Urgh I can't wait to not live in a block of flats anymore...but oh wait mortgage rates are fucked so no house for us yet - if ever. This thread is a good idea, thank you. I was able to talk about happy and positive things in this thread, and then come here and have a good moan.

Sometimes all you need is a good moan. I can commiserate with the (unwanted) weed smells - my brother vapes some several times a day. If he's home, he's more than likely vaping weed.

Hope you're taking care with that slipped disk - sounds very unfun

'They' keep talking about how with interest rates going up, we'll see housing prices crash but I'm starting to think it's all a load of bollocks.

I don't always mind the smell depending on what they're smoking as I guess strains smell different but sometimes it's rank and when it's a few days in a row I start to feel a bit icky. My back is starting to improve slowly, thank you :)
