Just needed to be heard for a little while

Yes, WaS, I'd forgotten about the mushroom? Do spill!








That reminds me, I saw this lovely pic on another thread......






Then I photographed this from my TV recording of HIGNFY. Ian Hislop's caption for it was " are you in the John Lewis ad?"

Great picture Pyxis, I like that. Good luck with the library, oystercatcher. Targets are good. All that got me off the settee when I was unwell was walking the dog. Any particular books in mind?
I still use the library even though I have an ebook, partly because I'm a cheapskate and don't want to pay for new titles, and partly because I like reading in the bath. (Unless Gitdog is around, of course. )

This reminded me of all the dogs on this thread!:rotfl:



Again, saw it on another thread courtesy of upsidedownbear.

Evening everyone! I spent the day with a migraine/cluster headache/whatever it is. It is a bit better now but involved lots of hanging over the toilet with WaSp holding my hair. This is isn't necessarily a bad thing because my GP told me to record what happens for the neurologist so I was able to do that but wow, do they hurt.

The mushrooms...are growing. I am in a ridiculous situation where the flats are being handed over to the new landlord. The old landlord told me that I need to contact the new one now. So I spoke to the letting agent who spoke to the new landlord who then said this is not his problem and it is up to the old landlord because things aren't fully handed over yet (my rent is still going to the old landlord). Currently the letting agent is running between the two with them both refusing to deal with it and apologising to me. He told me it isn't just me, other flats have problems, too but neither landlord sees it as their responsibility. So here we sit at stalemate while the mushrooms grow.

I wonder if there's a Council person that could at least tell you if they are a potential health problem? Then if they were, that might give you leverage over the twin landlords.




You're not by any chance in a new Dr. Who episode are you? Dr. Who and the Mushroom People!

Hahahahaha! Maybe I should point my sonic screwdriver at them!

Apparently something has been signed that says any problems are dealt with by the new landlord and they bought 'as seen'. New landlord says this isn't the case because he isn't getting the rent yet so any problems are not his problem until that happens. The letting agent says it is completely ridiculous and he thinks they both need their heads banging together. Apparently it has been a very acrimonious sale (to quote him) which isn't helping. He said leave it with him and he will try to make one budge but if nothing happens in a week I think I will contact the council and see if they can make either of them do something. The couple in flat 2 have rotting wood on their back door and subsequent fungus which is being constantly dampened by pouring water from the broken gutter, they won't do anything about that either- old landlord is insisting it is all buy as seen, new landlord won't finally sign until all of these problems are fixed. It is all a bit of a nightmare for everyone.

I would have thought that if nothing's been signed, then it's down to the old landlord?

Waves_and_Smiles

So would I especially as he is still getting the rent? The new landlord isn't earning a penny yet so why should he be fixing things and the final contract hasn't been signed? To make things more complicated the old landlord has removed his work phone line and email so we can't get in touch with him, everything is down to the letting agent who to be the fair to the poor guy looks incredibly stressed with it all.

Does anyone want a dumbass dog? He's doing my head in. I can't do anything tonight without his head landing on my knee or him sitting in front of me with his ears cocked, staring at me, which is dumbass dog language for "I want something".

Waves_and_Smiles

I'll have him! Pop in the post! Maybe he just wants you to notice him, it sounds like he is succeeding!
