I Need A Chat With Our Landlord

Last week I ranted about our neighbours, both those next door, and our landlords upstairs.
While that was about 3 years worth of stuff that was pent up, it really wasn't anything too major either (at least for upstairs/our landlords), just small irritants and gripes. However, after this morning, I need to have a chat with someone up there.
I awoke to the sound of vacuuming. Now, in a house with 6 people, one of which an 8-9 year old, I understand the need to vacuum more than once or even twice a week, especially in the dining room (which I believe is the room directly above PreZ and my bedroom). I just generally wish they wouldn't vacuum before at least 11am on weekends.
This morning when I finally cracked open an eye to cast a glance at the alarm clock, I noticed that it was 06:58. I really take exception to that. I know at least one person there is an insanely early riser for work (5.30-6am), but I don't think that's the one who was vacuuming, and usually it's not like you hear that early riser being active other than if you happen to be going to the bathroom and hearing the shower run upstairs. I also don't care if they start doing laundry at 7am, because that's on the other side of the house and we can't hear it when in bed (it's just annoying if they're still doing it an hour or hour and a half later when PreZ needs to shower), but vacuuming before it's even 7 fucking AM is just not done.
Grr!
