Shift Happens

[dominie]

This is a very good PowerPoint on YouTube about technology etc, which gives me a lead in to my woes. We fitted a new bathroom 7 years ago,; state of the art etc. recently I thought the shower may be leaking and then noticed a change in the tiles around the toilet. To cut to the chase the toilet cistern and shower were leaking ; a rubber seal costing probably no more than a £1 at the bottom of the toilet cistern had failed; resultant cost probably 3k plus for new floor, tiles, fixtures and shower unit.......yes indeed shift happens!

two leaks from the radiator from the kids swinging on them

this has wrecked the panelled/parquet floor which has to come up and WON'T be replaced - she goes and a carpet goes down - rotting and mouldy panelling goes out

well I should have been quicker innit ?

she came around last week and said can I pick up the rest of my stuff ?
and I said no you gave me vacant possession and I have chucked it out
and she said are you allowed to do that ?
and I said .....
