            Just thought i'd update my list from a few weeks ago, feel like i've tackled very little on it but lets see.
 1. write letter to neighbour upstairs threatening legal action if they don't repair or arrange the repair of the guttering/ boards etc by the end of May letter wasn't needed, they did the repairs last Wed, think they may have heard me discussing the action we were prepared to take.
 2. write letter to all three neighbours threatening to take further action if they a/ don't get quotes for the repair of the porch and share them around by the end of May and b/ action isn't taken to arrange the replacement of the porch by the end of June.
 3. investigate and change phone and broadband supply - changed last wednesday, got free broadband for a year.
 4. cancel HD on sky and 'threaten' to remove other packages/everything entirely to see what they may offer. - got a 6 months reduction on the cost of HD will cancel it in 6 months time
 5. take leccy reading, update spreadsheet and enter online - done but need to do again
 6. paint hallway (already have the paint)
 7. paint the bathroom (already have the paint)
 8. pot on seedlings in greenhouse
 9. plant trees and big plants at allotment - trees were planted last weekend, other still outstanding but the grounds like concrete at the moment
 10.dig 2 more beds at the allotment and plant spuds and other veggies. - one bed was dug and half the spuds are in, again ground was like concrete
 so pretty mixed i'd say. Some jobs will take a while i'm guessing but if i can get them done by christmas i will be happy.0
