It's amazing what music can do. I spring cleaned my kitchen yesterday to Rudimental.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

PN,
Glad to hear from you and hope the other site is giving you the earning you need.
Don't let the LL get you down. Hopefully you can continue you search for a property to buy soon.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards. I volunteer to help get your forum questions answered and keep the forum running smoothly. Forum Ambassadors are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an illegal or inappropriate post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com (it's not part of my role to deal with this).

Nik, that's some seriously hard work you've put in there - nice one!
PN, you don't need to feel unsafe, if the LL knocks, you don't have to answer, it's not a royal command....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I think the knock itself would still be intrusive and upsetting and unsafe-feeling to PN, even if she didn't answer it. It's difficult because there are many things that LLs assume that she should either (a) not mind or (b) feel able to say "no" to, but she does mind and she doesn't feel able to object. I certainly wouldn't want LLs dropping round and wanting to come in without giving me warning, but I would be able to tell them (after the first time) that I would prefer to be given notice. OTOH if I were a smoker, I wouldn't let a LL in a shed at the bottom of next door's garden put me off smoking in my own garden if I wanted to.
Oh, and Nikkster - huge well done on the gardening. :T I was duly impressed by the pic when reading this morning, but was on my phone, so it was just too much hassle to try to type a reply!Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Honestly, there weren't any gory details (-:

PN - sorry to hear your feeling like your space is under constant threat of attack. I know it's easier said than done, but it is your space to live your life in more or less as you please - that's what you're paying for. Hope you're managing to find some time to keep an eye out for houses...
Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone! I've just cheated and filled another 1/3 of the bin with grass cuttings
