Ooh, there's loads of fuel for Bobby at the BBQ! Anyway. The bailiff called me just as I was trying to post earlier (so inconsiderate ) He said that they were just waiting for a taxi and he would call me as they left. He wanted me to arrive before the police left just in case they tried to come back etc.I waited for his call and actually drove past them as I went back (I was only about 10 seconds around the corner). The two police cars waited for me to go into the house then left themselves and the bailiff signed the property back over to me and I changed the locks. He said that they are usually quite straight forward, but I was one of the unlucky ones. So, I had a look around the house. Four of the doors upstairs need replacing and three downstairs, it's going to need a new kitchen too. and I'm dying to redecorate the living room. I was speaking to the neighbours, apparently she doesn't have a lot of friends in the street because "She gets drunk every night and when she's drunk she gobs off at people". The boy has been expelled from two schools and he's the reason the shed door has been ripped off, he's been in there smoking with his mates. Upstairs smells like a pub used to, smoke and beer. I left at about three, got in the house and face planted food. Two things; 1. The bailiff was great, really fab. I didn't realise it until I had to sign for the house but I was actually shaking! 2. You guys are also great. While I was sat in the car waiting you were a great distraction making me laugh about the situation but also engaging in interesting conversation. Thank you.

By my count we need 5 new doors hanging and two rehanging (he's pulled the hinges out of the frame but the door it's self isn't damaged). How are you all at fitting kitchens? :But seriously guys, you've all been so kind and supportive - that's priceless.

Hanging doors is easy. You just fit them over the gap then bang nails in all around. Wait. That's coffin lids. |

We were originally waiting for her housing benefit to come through, that can take up to twelve weeks, when we realised it wasn't going to happen, she was served with two months notice. That took her to the end of her six month tenancy anyway (she'd paid the month in advance). Since then I've been getting some housing benefit, but it doesn't cover the cost of the rent as there's only two if them in a three bed house. |

Has this changed now so that the tenant gets the housing benefit and has to pay it to you? I thought you used to get the money direct from the council before? |

But when a tenant becomes eight weeks behind with their rent you can ask for direct payments to be made. |

On the topic of poo, my son wakes this morning around 6.30am and after 10 mins of his calls for Daddy getting nowhere ( I was out for a walk) he takes his (very filled) nappy off to get my attention (my wife heard him saying look Daddy whilst he was doing it) So shit all over his bed, the floor and around 20 stuffed toys he has in the bed. I get back from my walk around 6.50 am and hear my wife shout that he is coming down stairs, I'm greeted with a grinning little boy with just a top on. So I clean him up and put a nappy on him Around 6.55 am I see that he has come down the stairs on his bum as there is a skid mark on every step  Thankfully we have a carpet that is stain proof, but still had to clean it off All this before 7am, one kid so much carnage |

Have planning permission in to extend the house, no complaints from anybody etc Then last night I get a call from the women doing my drawings to say that some faceless committee has issues with the roof line and the view up the street. Its total bollocks as my street is a mix of house styles, plots and positions. The planning officer is on our side but has to convince this committee who despite there opinion has never been to my house to look at it So I just had to shell out another 360 quid for 3D models and other stuff to convince these people at their meeting tomorrow Still could be refused as well! |

Turned down  They are objecting to the proposed view of my house as you come up my street (new bit in black) But they are also saying that there is no issue with me lifting the roof to the hight of the house next door?? if the objection is a blot on the landscape so to speak then I don't see how their proposal is any better, it will cost me 50K more to do though So not sure what to do now, thinking of letting it get turned down then changing things as you get a free 2nd application |

| Post subject: | Re: The 'NAY!' Thread |
I kind of disagree. The proposal totally changes the presentation of the house from that angle, from a pitched roof to a vertical wall face. Raising the pitch of the roof is much less significant a change than what Asfish is proposing. |

Nobody objected from my street was some faceless council committee. On reflection I get the point, looking at other options, doubt I will sink that much into this house though as I will want to move if my new job works out Bit Board of it now, should just do what all the settled travelers around me do. Build a separate dwelling in my garden wait until the council get wind of it then apply afterwards and be allowed to keep it  3 times that has happened in the last 12 months! |

They might either comp you something or take another look at hygiene or supply chains or whatever. If it's a place you like then worth making the inquiry. Especially if you add that you like the place and didn't want to just leave them a shitty TA review. |

Had a day off today and a nice series of outdoor Nays Firstly I find that my overhanging Parasol has broken, its still working but the bit that's broken stopped it moving around when deployed, so now I have to have a bit of rope pegged into the ground. Then whilst moving it around one of the heavy plastic base plates snapped in two. Went off to see what a replacement will cost, the main body without base plates is £80. It does piss me off that this thing is 4 years old, gets bugger all use and is kept the garage over winter and its still broken. Its one of these http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk ... ack-126274 Not sure if I should be spending £300 on one that's a better build. Then whilst mowing the lawn I shoot a stone into one of the double glazed conservatory doors, it breaks one of the 2 pains of glass, biggest pain has been getting all the glass up. My son likes to run around outside in various states of undress but he never wants shoes or socks on. Have a guy coming to measure that at 4pm Wish I'd gone to bloody work
