    If I get an invite, would you mind if I plugged in the car? It's just easier to charge at other people's houses than faff around looking for a charging station.
    Sure, if you can get anything out of this. My son's car hit it before it rolled back over onto the lawn.

    Hhhmmmm 'can't park there mate'....

    I'd love to come, especially to the heated landing.  Don't worry I've added your details to the Warm Spaces website, so that should attract a few extras too.


    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    You need to invite Shelter staff on strike, Crisis, and Generation rent staff. Maybe Mr Khan and Andy Burnham to talk about Rogue landlords

    I've just asked my postie, he said he'll come as long as he's on strike.

    I have heating and it is turned on, but only on the landing as I measured the humidity level and it's 12,000,000%, probably because my partner has 3 hour baths with the doors and windows open and I put all my laundry straight from the washing machine onto the radiators. The good news is, a damp professional is coming tomorrow to take a look so everything should be fine for NYE.

    That is assuming that the Vauxhall Astra which is upside down on the driveway can be removed as it's blocking the front door. It's my son's. He modified it with a chip from Ebay, put two baked bean tins on the exhaust and fitted some fat tyres (he called them "slicks") he found left outside our local tyre shop. He was rushing back from the pub before the MOT ran out at midnight and under-estimated the bend outside the house that he can normally take at 100mph but it was frosty yesterday.

    I know he's a naughty boy but I love 'im to bits so will swap the number plates over with one's he saw on a car for sale on Autotrader before I call WBAC for a valuation. Do you think they will collect?

    This sounds scarily like my house.  

    Do we live together already?

    If my experience is anything to go by, it was more likely something they said.
