Evening everyone and ~~~~~~~~ to Mersey.

Pleased to hear that fur behaved herself at the vets, Maz.

Saw the footie was on tv last night, so knew what LG would be up to!!

Did the spare part arrive for the CH, DET??

I confess to falling asleep last night (again!!)), but can't blame the conference work. Some of it was on Tuesday morning and the rest starts tomorrow :-( :-( :-(

I am still having issues with the bungalow that are dragging me down somewhat, so I am feeling the strain at the moment. It is easier to nod off than sit and get wound up about it!

Surveyors not turning up when I have wasted 'time off in lieu' to fit in their appointment, plumbers that can't mend a leak on the boiler that wasn't there before they started this work. Now have to wait for the manufacturers to send out an engineer. More time off work when he comes.

Part of the kitchen wall now has to taken back to brick and injected, then cemented, then re-plastered. I suppose I will then have to paint it when it has dried out. I will have to cancel the day's holiday booked for Christmas Eve so that I can use it with one other day when they come to do the work as it will be a two day job.

I think I will just throw the towel in :-0 :-0

Evening all, been to a committee meeting .

Oh dear YG, I do hope your problem with the home are sorted soon.

DET has probably nodded off if her boiler is fixed. Nothing like as nice warm snooze ;-)

Morning all –

Poor YG, we really feel for you. Maz’ idea about demanding a temporary rent reduction is a good one. If you drew up and sent an invoice for hours lost payment, it might actually get paid, or at the least set the cat among the pigeons!

You might be able to insist that they ‘make good’ once the plastering has been done, but unless you trust them in the house by themselves, that could mean more time off. Alternatively, submit a receipt for the cost of the paint you might have bought. If you aren’t happy to leave them to it by themselves, is there a friend you can ask to house-sit? As landlords, you might even be able to persuade someone from the HA to do it.

Good to hear that Maz is on top of things…as usual and that LG found something to keep her littlies still and quiet for a couple of hours.

Afternoon everyone.

The day started off lovely and sunny. but it is now raining and it crept up on me without noticing, so the washing is still on the line :-D :-D

Just off to do the weekly shop and then I am going to get through the usual before relaxing :-D :-D

Enjoy your day, whatever mischief you are getting up to :-D :-D

Had a great time YG! Beautiful city, so much to see and the weather was so much better than I expected. I thought it was going to be similar to here, perhaps a bit colder - but it was 18 degrees when we left at tea time last night.

How are things with you?
