    Huge damp patch coming through in living room where we live now, so got some boxes to pack the books there, hopefully me and Mr PIP can get the shelves down tomorrow before they become unusable. I guess we've got to the stage where we live in a state of moving for a couple of months, which is making me want to cry.

    All of the radiators have arrived damaged so been trying to sort that out.

    Apparently various other parts of different things are missing.

    Not a happy bunny. Or bubby.

    Oh no to the damp patch 😞 As for the radiators 🤬 It seems to be never ending for you.

    Even without damaged things @Sun_Addict I am astounded by just how much stuff you need for a basic functioning home, let alone all the concrete etc. Whenever I read the government saying they're investing in environmental aims and house building, I'm like 'you can invest in one but you cannot invest in both, simply too contradictory to be done'

    I have exchanged 66 messages and had a phone call with the builder today. I am so exhausted.

    Also, finished on client job and have done five listings
