Just do a bunk without paying the rent. Every one else does.What type of space heater to get?
Ok so my storage heaters are rubbish and my land lady wont do anything about it.
Last year I got a halogen heater which works ok when its on and pointing directly at me but as soon as I move; brrrrrrrrr. Also no good when I have people over. I understand that a halogen heater will only heat an object in front of it and not the actual air in a room?
I dont want to get a fan heater as I was told that they can be pricey to run. Does anyone know the pro's and con's of say a ceramic heater, oil filled radiator or panel heater? I need something that is going to warm up my rather small lounge but not cost a fortune in the process!
Thanks in advance!
PS i've tried and extra jumper!
PPS please advise as my friends will stop visiting my chilly abode unless i get it sorted
PPPS brrrrrrr :O)
I have had success with an oil filled radiator type heater and placed a small fan behind it.Am I in the wrong? (Roommate Question)?
Ok so 8 months ago I entered into a 9month lease With a friend.
Shortly there after I came to realise we had different ways of living (to be expected)
The problem I had was If I didn't clean then the house wasn't cleaned, If I didnt take the
Bins out then they weren't taking out ...same with bills they where in my name taking
from my account and chasing her for them - I was physically made feel guilty.
I discussed this with her 6 months in and expressed my dislike toward living in a filthy
home - she agreed she hadnt been cleaning and in an effort to mend the problem
she cleaned the kitchen - no other efforts were made after this.
Then winter came and her heating went on everyday everynight shed leave it on
and go to work /college and come back after and leave it on. Now at this time I started seeing some one I had him in my room which is half the size of hers at the other end of the house and i pay the same amount of rent she does (425) and my heater was never on - let me just say his visiting added no extra costs to the bills. My roommate however disliked the fact that he was over often
and thought he should be paying our bills - which is absurd in my eyes as he was only there as my guest and because I wanted him there. But fair enough the living circumstances made her uncomfortable. She told me after xmas her parents couldnt afford for her to sign a new lease but asked that i stay on and extend the lease with her till May (lease is due up at end of Feb) to be honest I was delighted she didnt want to sign another lease and had no intention of staying with her any longer than I had to - so I gracefully declined pointing out the fact that she was not happy with my boyfriend visiting so it was best off to leave it. Since then I found myself a new house to live in with my boyfriend which will work out 300 euro less then what I am paying whilst living with her - there was one problem, we have to move in Feb 2nd and the lease isnt up until Feb 29th they wouldnt hold the house until March for us- I called my land lady and said I would forfeit my deposit so that my roommate could live out her last month of occupancy at no extra cost , I thought this generous of me, but my roommate has since expressed deep anger and hatred that shes too scared to live the last month alone in the house and she finds what ive done selfish and that I should be held to the 9 month contract which we both signed - My last esb bill is for 250 euro I'd say I used about 1/4 of this but Im afraid she wont pay any of it - If I had the money to pay it all and be rid of her once an for all I would but the deposit for the house has left me broker than broke - she is a sweet girl but is younger than her years I want to resolve this situation delicately but now am at a loss for words....Advice?
You should allow your boyfriend to get the house and if you are on the lease, you can stay there weekends, and still finish the last month at the old house. However, if I were you, after I am done with the lease, I'll get rid of my "friend." No good comes out of living with a friend, especially a sloppy, irresponsible one.Is sky trying to rip me off?
Ok so i got sky broadband and land line and from day one been messed about by sky i got all set up and a few months later i get a phone call saying my broadband and telephone has to be cut off and reinstalled all again which would take another 2 weeks so i said just do it i don't want anything more from you i will take my custom else where. She said ok sorry about this so a few month later and my broadband and telephone hadn't been cut off so i just thought they got it wrong then 2 months after that call sky take £117 from me i rang them and asked what is that for why you take that he said because i asked for it to be cancelled and put back on so its charges for that happening but i never asked for that to be done a lady rang me and said it has to be done so i said ok and i DON'T want to be reconnected with sky so i explained this to the man and i asked for a refund he said i cant get a refund so i said ok well keep it on if i have paid for it i want it so he said ok that's fine you can keep it on. So another month goes by and yesterday my broadband and calls get cut off again i ring them and they say its because i asked for it to be cancelled which i didn't :-/ and they was wanting another £70 off me to reconnect which i wasn't having any of and told his manager to listen back to the call and he will hear i said keep it on i have paid. They rang back and said yes you are correct so this Time we wont charge you but i have to wait 2 weeks for it all to be reinstalled. But the 1st time when they said they had to cancel it and i said ok leave it off they never even took it off or anything but charged me £117 i don't get whats happening........ Has any1 else had this problem?

Kirstyhow do i deal with my pup with separation anxiety?
we brought joey home last night. he left his mum at 15 week old so quite late and was used to being around people all day and 3 adult dogs. someone bought him and couldnt cope so sold him to a lady i know. she called me and asked me to take him on (at a price of course) as i wanted a play mate for my 5 month old lhasa bitch.
last night was unreal, he was very distructive in the kitchen in his crate, even with gemma and the tv on and lots of chews and bones. i took him on a long walk before hand to poop him out but this didnt work. he is very clingy and wants attention all the time. i've def got my hands full as gemma was a dream compared to this wwe had her from 8 week and moulded her well. i work full time but work flexy hours so am able to come hom for an hour at lunch every day.
how am i going to deal with this anxiety? i am at the vets today for a new puppy check so will talk to them as well but i was thinking of getting some DAP spray and also putting his crate by my bed for a bit and then moving it to the landing and so on, my mum is going to have both dogs a couple of days a week till he comes round a bit. i hope it wont affect gemma too much but i also want to make this puppy healthy and happy too, i have bonded with him already and just want him to be a dream like gemma!
Separation Anxiety.
If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, or if you anticipate this don’t give him free access to every room in your house when you leave him. . If you allow him free access you are doubling his burden. As well as having separation anxiety he will think that he has to guard every room in your house.
If he is restricted to one room he will not see you leave. You could also con him into thinking that you are always at home by carrying out the following procedure.
Try to do this when you are at home all day, or in the evening when you are there. After your dog has had a long walk, put him in a room with his comfortable bed, this should be a room where you will leave him if you need to go out and where your dog will sleep at night.
Walk out of the room and close the door. Open the door immediately and go back into his room, close the door behind you and try to ignore him. Pretend or actually do something which excludes your dog, for example if he is in the bathroom you could do a bit a cleaning for a couple of minutes. Then walk out of the room, go back again immediately and continue with the pretence. Keep doing this to ensure that your dog won’t feel isolated and eventually leave a small gap before you go into his room again. Over a period of days increase the gap before going back into his room. When you know that your dog is asleep stop going into the room, however you MUST try to go onto the room before he wakes up and starts to cry. If you carry out this procedure for a couple of days, your dog will always think that you are at the other side of the door. I do this when I get a new puppy and this PREVENTS separation anxiety.
Don’t neglect his long walks and playtime in the garden whilst you are re-training him, he needs his fun
When you are leaving your dog on his own please don’t make a dramatic exit, or this will give the game away. Simply put him into his room and walk out and close the door to his room.When you come home don’t give him a big hello, just walk into his room and let him out for a pee. You can then play with him and give him cuddles.Getting too old....will i ever find a girl?
Hello well i need some advice please ladies and gentlemen.
i am 27, 28 in february 2010
well basically i've finally landed a career i am happy with.
thing is i am getting worried.
i have issues with perfection and getting things in order and trying to be happy in myself, which i think will help me concentrate on making a possible relationship work.
what i am doing at the moment is saving up for a car, a nice one with low mileage and i will have the money saved up by next april.
question is i am scared i wont find someone suitable without children at my age if i leave it any longer.i am going to stay in at weekends while i am saving and not go out to meet anyone.
i'll be 28 next year,i am still quite good looking so they tell me, i will have a nice paid for car, a good job and a good personality.
i know there is plently of fish in the sea ages from 21 to 30 without kids but should i take that risk and put my life on hold for a year?
is it worth the risk and is it possible to find a girl without kids at my age?
thanks
Step one: Push yourself away from the computer.
Step two: Get out of you mom's basement.
Step three: You need to talk to women.
Step three part a: Go to a gym, bar, or other places where women your age go as well.
Step four: Ask a girl out on a date and see what happens.
Step five: Repeat until you find a woman willing to deal with you because you can not marry your mom.
I would suggest you try going to your local council and see if they can work with her and get the work done.

Sounds interesting. I had a landlord that was so tight that when he walked he squeaked.
I needed various repairs doing and he just said there was nothing wrong with the place. In the end someone said go to the local counil offices and ask for there housing section and explain the situation. I did this and they came out and took photos then said the landlord should put the right the defects regardless.
He still would not so they got in touch with him and well things started to get done and all was ok. I think he just needed a kick from behind to make him get his act together
Thank you to all who has replied.
Well we contacted the landlady and tried once more. She was not to interested until we said right we are off to the council and getting the enviromental health people in to come and do a report. She said oh I will get someone to look to.
She did not get anyone to come and look and besides the council came out took one look and said oh yes it looks like you have a rather large problem that needs sorting out and is only getting worse.
They also made lots of notes and took photos and said they was going to be doing a big report and sending it on to the landlady we rented from.
Well with in a week and a bit she sent a letter saying roofing people coming out on something date and well they turned up and took over 3/4 of the roof off and did various other jobs around it. They told me it looked like someone had done a bodge job in the past and now it was no good so there was twice as much work to do.
So we are now completley dry when it rains now. We even managed to get loads of loft insulation in the roof as well.
The tenancy agreement is up for renewal soon and guess what she has sent a letter saying that the rent will be increasing due to the property being worth more now the roof is done and some painting outside was done. Oh I tell you this one is so tight that when she walks she squeaks.
We may have to renew our finances as to what we have to pay out or may be even move depending how much it goes up by but at least we are dry for now.
As far as we are concerned and that is if you rent a property out then surely you must keep it in good condition then you will get a return back on it in the long run.

Oh gosh this situation is more common than you think.
We had something similar to this sometime ago. The landlord was so tight that he walked with a squeak and you had to prise his wallet out of his pocket with a jack hammer and a crow bar to open it.
A year in a 2 bed flat with him as the landlord was enough to drive you mad. You name it the place about fell to bits. I think he had one of those bodge and scarper d.i.y people in off Rouge Traders you know as when we moved in it looked all fine then slowly the place started to fall to bits. I took ages to get anything done but our advice is to keep on at them to get things put right. They want there money at the end of the month so at least they can do is keep the place from falling down.
Well thats my peace

Yeah, I have had bad experiences before with slow landlords.
One of the more funny stories happened when my landlord did not fix a broken appliance for months. We asked him several times. I do not know if he just forgot or was being a bad landlord. He does manage many houses around here, so he may have just forgotten... but 5 times???
Anyhow, we decided to try to pull a fast one on him, and we just didnt send in our rent for that month. We figured if he asked for it, we would say we forgot to pay it.
He never asked for it, and we paid the next month's rent on time and he never figured it out. He did eventually fix the appliance, so I guess we got a discount for living without our stove for a while!
Doubt this helps, but maybe will make you laugh.

I think we have all had our fare share of bad experiences with Landlords/Landladies. Thankfully this time around I have a fantastic landlord who sorts out any problems that I have in only a matter of minutes! It does help that he is a DIY expert.
