Who cleans the loo daily? Are you sure you don't have high expectations? Perhaps you need to re-base your relationship - be very clear about what you want. Hopefully you can reach some agreement. Our house gets dirty quite quickly so cleaning it is a bit like painting the Fourth Bridge.

People have different standards of cleanliness. Was he cleaner when he first moved in? or have you started to be more fussy? If it's the former, you need to remind him that there is an expectation that the rooms are kept clean and tidy - and what that looks like. If it's the latter then he may not have changed his behaviour at all so might not understand your point. If you get on well, tell him what's bothering you - after 18 months it would be nice if you were able to discuss it. Do you share a bathroom?

yes, TheCat - you have been trolled. Did you hope for a balanced debate? High hopes....

i wear what I want to work. I could probably be smarter, but I always look nice. One of the directors is always casual (jeans) but the guys rock up in suits every day. I think they are actually a bit scared of wearing shorts and would need an office-wide buy in before they would. I might actually do something about it - as I've just realised they might need (and appreciate) some help in this very sensitive matter. Footwear has come up in conversation. You can't wear trainers to work, so - what works with shorts in a more formal but edgy environment?

It would have been suffice to say that they are council tenants - it would allude to steering a particular course of action, rather than private tenants, where you would have to do different things (contact landlord etc). All complaints against private tenants have to be investigated by the LL. However it comes across not like that at all - the only tenants causing a problem are council tenants - it's a bit of a snobby dig actually. The course of action for complaints against council tenants is well documented.

Such a relief.

not advisable at all. try pest control. Google has lots of numbers.

If that were the case there would be repurcussions for what has happened, but that doesn't appear to be happening. So, the two do seem to be interwoven

Yes Sue, they are a minority and therefore are privileged with tolerances because we're so scared of being labelled as racist/ intolerant

Pricey, but if you've got cash to get priperly pampered....why the hell not? It has fab reviews.

Threatening? JFC. So, I'm paying for clearing their crap, their kids are playing where they shite and this is ok? Whatever background or ethnicity, this is vile and abusive. They should be held to account and not play victims

Snide and nasty. I suppose we all have conflicts within ourselves. I can be, but usually I'm kind, generous and tolerant. I do struggle with being patient with some people though. Who doesn't?

The car has been in the street on and off for at least the year I've lived here. I've seen it loads of times.

We're very conscious of wasting water. While we don't do enough we do use dishwater or bathwater for the plants and to fill buckets for the loo; turn water on off when cleaning teeth and showering rather than leaving it running and quick washes in washing macine. Any other tips would be gladly received.

I get the 148 from town, it's quite nice upstairs with breeze through windows. I assumed it was the same style Bus as the 12 as it has the rear stairs. Maybe they could just replace windows with ones that open

.

it's a car - driven around frequently (it does stand out as it's a thing of beauty) and I've often admired it. Rather than worrying ourselves silly in case it's proceeds of crime and the owner is banged up, I am (if anything) more concerned if everything is ok with them. #Curtain-twitchy-over-nosey-how-dare-they-have-a-nice-car-it-must-illegal#

where next, I wonder?

I went to Sainsbury DKH. Nice and cool

Deafening silence from our councellors

I'll give you a clue RH...it's not Robin Hood and his band of merry men.

I taught my kids to cuddle up and read stories when they woke up. I now struggle to get them up! Our lovely lazy mornings in bed were really special. Whoever lets their kids out to play at 6am just doesn't want to entertain them themselves, so it's lazy and selfish.

oh, I have. My children have been accused of stealing - which they didn't - they were scared out of their wits - evil woman.

Are you showing the game on Weds? If so, we'll see you then!

We went to a hotel bar to cool down, cocktails were an added bonus
