Pixels and their consequences

fc123

OK...For to be on topic...not...
I skive on here for 20 mins, glass of red whilst dinner is cooking.
I then can't sniff anything tasty????
Just checked the ancient crud cooker,,,,,yup it's f****.

Now my landlady down here does ZERO repairs....this cute cottage (in posh st.) is disintegrating around my ears. The old beam across the front door was being held up with nothing but a live cable....we reported it but zilch....so hubby got his tools out and mended it.
Took a new letting agent and 2 and half years to get the shower working. Fridge was F***** when we moved in so I just bought a new one myself...it's still on the list of repairs !!!!!!......I am shouting here.

I want to live in my own house again where the cooker is up to date (and works) and the drains aren't clogged up and the feeeling that you might go out one day, come back and it's fallen down and it's just become a pile of rubble. DD room occupies the whole top floor and we know it doesn't meet building regs. It dips as no proper supprt.
When a storm comes in off the sea I live in fear that the patio style doors will blow in and crush her....so does she.

OH laid all new flooring (not pricey as he is a trained chippy) as hers was so hideously vile and decrepit.
I confess here...the novelty of living in derelict rented cottage has finally worn off. I don't even notice the view now.


Now I am going to go and eat raw dinner..................

That makes me happy.

Man...I fell a bit better now. It was chicken fajita style thingys with leftover (organic of course) chicken, peppers, onions garlic and a sprinkle of taco something from a packet and tinned toms. ........served with guacamole, soured cream and wholemeal wraps and salad. The sauce was just about cooked so OK but had to microwave the wraps...I don't trust microwaves and we use it rarely....

It's a PITA....got tons of very lifesaving things to do tomo...not faff about trying to persuade an LA to report a problem and get in touch with ancient LL who probably thinks I should just cook on the coal fire instead...she'a an ex solicitor, aged about 88 and disagrees with everything the LA suggest.
We had a burst pipe in October 2008. It popped over the gallery in the upper hall and flooded down through the hallway..fortunately I was in at the time or the damage would have been horrendous and blocked all the doorways dpwnstairs with towels to stop it spreading.

The plumber came and condemned the pipes as they are all lead and ''illegal''...but I begged him to reconnect us and said we will drink bottled and not swallow when we brush our teeth. The ceiling is still brown, stained and hanging down. She would have done the repair on the insurance surely?

We have no gas cert as the guy who came in feb 2009 refused to sign it off as the cut off wheel is jammed solid. The LA know all about these things too.

I just have to last until 30 June 10....DD just will not board. If she did, I would move home. And I miss OH...he get's on my nerves sometimes and he did love living alone in London for a while but admitted it was mainly cos he didn't have to share the bed with a cat....Mr Ginger (the rescue cat who still has issues after 10 years)...I think it is the cleaning meself.:o

Irony we were LL and never gave our tenants grief ever.


........you know what, I'll buy one of those mini cookers tomo from Argus.....could be useful when I move home...to the house I own.

well then, the cleaning was a waste of time....

Mr.Brown_4

I hate the clean up before the wife comes back from a trip. While she is away I use minimal stuff, avoid any messy activities such as eating, and then spend what seems to me ages making the place spick and span. Whereupon she harrumphs and points out the total deranged and sad mess both me and the house have managed to get into.

tbh if she were to go away for more than a couple of days I'd fall apart.

edit: Top rule is no pets must die through lack of care while she's away.
