Upstairs neighbours' washing machine - would this be U?

[BraCrumble]

My upstairs neighbours have their kitchen above my bedroom, and their washing machine basically above my bed. When they first moved in I asked if they would mind not running it at night, and they were very polite and happily agreed. They've since had a baby and understandably I presume less able to schedule their washing as it has started being run at night. The spin cycle is loud enough to wake me up, and I can hear the whole cycle.

Would it be U or weird if I offered to buy a sound insulating pad to go under their machine? I'm very British about this sort of thing, and on top also very shy. We hardly speak as I never see them, but don't have an actively bad relationship. We both own our flats, but mine comes with the freehold.

I have to get up at 6 for work, and on top it makes me really stressed as I can hear the machine start and know it's going to get louder and louder and wake me if I fall asleep!

You might have guessed it's happening now

Crikey. That's a kind offer. I think it would be nice.

I personally make sure my washing never spins past 8:00/8:30and I only live in a terrace. Except if there's an horrific poo/puke situation, been when my 3 were babies.

At least offering would make sure they're aware it's bothering you.

*even when.

Thread is 2 years old.

Ah OP it's the worst knowing that noise is coming when you're trying to sleep, it just puts you totally on edge. I think the pad is a kind gesture but some washing machines shake down the house. I too would be concerned that you're going to have to raise the issue again if it isn't effective. I would just speak to them first. Surely as new parents they'll also have a renewed sense of the value of sleep too!

so it is @rotten, wonder how that happened!

Damnit!
