Tetleysmooth Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Cheers boys.I think I will take a punt, if I can sell the C70 quick enough.Just sent the seller another message asking about condition of engine and box. I think that's pretty minimal. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Could you not press them with reference to your wife's recent health concerns? Doesn't sound like someone that has recently been discharged from hospital should be expected to spend 4-5 days without heating or hot water in winter.It's not just my wife,I've got left side hemi paresis and the cold really does my mobility no good at all. I need to do some research I think on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 A bit of research shows land land an tenant 1985 section 11 says it should be sorted in24 hours. Is that right? I'm going to chase them up if so as I've no central heating just an electric fire which eats electric in the lounge and no hot water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do some research I think on it.I've just bought this house but the HA it was owned by were generally very good at coming out to attend problems.Some of the 'engineers' that they used made things worse instead of better but otherwise no complaints. I do need a new boiler soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do some research I think on it. I think this would be enough grounds for the HA to consider you as vulnerable tenants. I'd persevere, even make a nuisance of myself if I was in a similar situation. No hot water or heating is usually considered an emergency situation so matters should have been taken into account within 24 hours. https://www.thetenantsvoice.co.uk/advice_from_us/heating-and-hot-water/ http://england.shelter.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/23392/ShelterGuide_GettingRepairsDone.pdf Datsuncog, myglaren and chaseracer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I had forgotten it was today.Collected daughter from her work and took her to central Newcastle, at teatime, to collect her new car (Megan CC) to replace her wiped-out Fiesta. We hid in a cafe until the worst of the traffic was over and it was there I realised it was Valentines. anonymous user 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Mrs P moans about the commercialism of Valentine’s Day. As it was our anniversary a week ago and I well overspent on that I gave Valentines a swerve. Bad move chaps, bad move...I travelled for nearly 3 hours managing to avoid the Shit that is the m6, and walked in with my lame rose plant and shit card, and pretty much had it thrown back in my face. Wife had cooked a 3 course meal, and decided that I have had enough chances to make it right and Valentine's day is the day that I should have put some extra effort in. We didn't get past the first course. She packed a bag and went to stay at her sister's house. (MikeR's wife) I have to agree with her. I put absolutely no effort in. I drove her 240 miles each way at the weekend, to have a weekend away. Before that I was doing silly hours at work, but managed to spend an afternoon in a city to try and buy her a Birthday present for Monday. I saw some Valentine's gifts but I was in birthday present mode. I didn't come home on Monday night because I was told to come home Tuesday for my birthday. I was led to believe that everything was fine on Wednesday. For fucks sake. My attempt to save our marriage by being nice and positive has not worked. It can't have helped that her mum phoned 10 minutes before I arrived home and fucked up her plans for tomorrow. But no I take All the blame.
