We are looking at the moment but we can't find anything, it's a nightmare. We don't want to be here but it's our only option. We'll leave for the weekend though. It's going to be a right mess in here, isn't it?  <_<

Me again! Just thought i'd post an update. Wellllll, we've been without heating for 11 days. Not a big deal for us, but for our 8 month old boy? Growl. Landlady sent a chap over but he's been waiting for a part and to get his van fixed. To keep our boy warm while we waited, we were using an...

Thank you Manator for the advice and reassurance.  The landladys handyman popped in yesterday, lovely fella but i've lost all patience now. Husband told him how we wanted an EICR and things, to everything he was told it would all be sorted in the next few weeks. I don't think in the next few...

Thanks Canoeboy! I've seen that before. I had a bundle of them in a home safety kit I bought and was just today telling my Mum about how dangerous the things were and how i'd not use them. She reminded me how she used them. I think she thinks i'm bonkers for not.

Thanks Binky! That's a great idea... It really is cold in here sometimes, old sash windows. We keep it warm enough but that is with the heating on constantly in the winter. There's a nip in here today because of the cold wind. But some of that could be fixed by the Landlady too. Her not so handy...

It's through a letting agency Andy... But it's ridiculous the way the Landlady has it all setup is that she uses them for the paperwork side of it all and she does everything else. So if we call them for say, like we did last year, for umm, I don't know, what was it... Oh yeah, half of our...

We've really been thinking of moving. I do and don't want to go at the same time... This house could be absolutely amazing, it really, REALLY could. It's got character. It's spacious, it has a massive garden. We love it but we hate it. The botched jobs like the poorly tiled bathroom or the old...

Yes i'm going to call her and get one done. This is silly. What would an EICR usually cost? If our landlady doesn't get one done, then I might just do it myself. We were only really using the extension because the sockets in an awkward spot and we couldn't reach it from where the TV is.

Yes it's an end terrace. Two bedrooms, living and dining room, then kitchen and bathroom off of that. Bedrooms have two double sockets each.Dining room has two doubles, living room has a double and a single and the kitchen has three doubles, which is a bit OTT considering its size. There's...

Okay! I didn't even try to balance on the stairs, too hairy. I'll ask my husband when he's back from work, to check the fuses. I did manage to hook the fuse wire down though! And he's some pics to show what I mean about the hairy position it's in above the door on the stairs. I had a...

Ahhh thank you KME for posting that for me and Admin for the upgrade! Prodave, We've never had a fuse blow. We've not usually got too much on at one time... The PC is always on, the kettle is always on, along with a baby food steamer and a little stereo unit... Come the winter, being in an old...

We're in Essex. I think I will get someone in to look at it... I'm really not happy. I thought the fella that came out to look at it all was good, but three weeks later and i've not heared anything... Wether that's him or the Landlady, I don't know!

Thank you all... My boy isn't crawling yet but it won't be long before he is... But i'll definitely be keeping him away. Prodave, he just poked about. Looked at things, pulled a few light switches out to look, said something about something needing replacing because of melting... But I didn't...

Thank you both! I'll be hovering around.

Hello all! I hope i'm posting this in the right place... I just had a Google about and thought you all might be able to help. We're privately renting a house and we recently asked the Landlady to send out someone to have a look at our dining room light and a couple of sockets. The light had...
