Thanks for all the damp comments & suggestions, peeps

I've bought a couple of humidifying things as an interim. Am checking out my insurance situation as I will need to replace furniture but I'm not hopeful... Will also need to inform the landlord
Need to go & clean the walls in a minute. The thought is making me sick
Would love there to be wine...

Well, I did a week.
That's the pinnacle of my achievement, however.
Am drinking today, unfortunately.
I was (as usual) very clumsy and I managed to smash half a bottle of vodka onto the kitchen floor, whilst "topping up" and thus alerted my OH to my misfortune (in every sense of the word).
So I was totally found out and I am now feeling ashamed and as low as a badger's !!!!.
The enormity of my sighs and bad feelings can't be translated into type...........
Hugs to all,
Caz

But you did a week so :T
So, as they say on Mastermind 'you've started so you may as well finish'. If there's any vodka left (i.e. it's not all over the floor) have a night off and then do another week!!!
I know some will say pour it down the sink but that's my take on how I'd handle it.0 -
Congratulations on your week, Caz

The walls no longer like a breeding ground for strange furry things. Have no bicarb so it will have to be a step at a time. The carpet is beyond saving with bleach - need Stardrops!
No insurance cover so will have to work out how I can afford a new bookcase/shelving unit & chest of drawers or similar for clothes. Also need to get rotten mouldy ones out of flat & find some vaguely orderly way of keeping the books & clothes that aren't damaged.
Needless to say I do not have insurance for this... *sigh*@ LBM = £15,872.65, now £10,819.82AF Jan = 7/? Feb = 5/14 Mar = 14/20 Apr = 6/14 May = 2/14 June 2/14 July 0/TF Aug 1/TFv Sept 6/TF Oct 4/7"NEVER DOUBT YOUR OWN QUALITY"0 -

Oh HB you need lots and lots of :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:
Obviously if it really is damp then maybe you've got some sort of claim against the landlord. Unfortunately I think it's more likely to be condensation from heat indoors and freezing outside this winter. Oh poor you. I think I see a visit to Ikea coming on. Billy bookcases are fab!0 -

Thanks, hon
I'm sure it's condensation from excessive heating due to the cold & drying washing etc. I will let my landlord know as a courtesy thing & also to point out that the ventilation in there isn't much good & the whole heating system is pants, but that's about it.
Weirdly, I'm on the Ikea website right now! :rotfl:@ LBM = £15,872.65, now £10,819.82AF Jan = 7/? Feb = 5/14 Mar = 14/20 Apr = 6/14 May = 2/14 June 2/14 July 0/TF Aug 1/TFv Sept 6/TF Oct 4/7"NEVER DOUBT YOUR OWN QUALITY"0
