I have met some of the neighbours briefly - one family actually gave me a box of biscuits at christmas and said sorry for noise of children running in flat above - I assured her it isn't a problem.

I don't think I know them well enough to rouse them from sleep. They work.

There is usually someone awake on here at night who could phone my son for me.

I am having a mediocre day healthwise - been worse - getting bad withdrawl symptoms from tapering off oral steroids.

I am seriously thinking of getting a mobile phone again - thanks for your concern.
