I don’t know about any others (there are many in sure) but he just gives me the rage, without even speaking! There’s an advert he was in and I’d switch off as soon it started! He’s so up himself it really does my nut in. A very unattractive trait 🤮

I totally agree, poncing around like prima donna’s, get on with the football!
 
Honestly realising I wouldn't have to look at Ronaldo's mug every time I booted the game was a good chunk of the reason for switching to FIFA 19 from FIFA 18. I pay a certain amount a month and get full access to a large back catalogue of games for the PC, the FIFA series is part of that.
 
I don't often go and visit friends, but I figured 'why not!' a few days ago...now I've got a cold from one of their daughters :td: I hate being sick, i've slept all day..I don't have time to be sick with all the piggies needs lately and the vet visits I have coming up. Plus trying not to sneeze with on/off back pain is proving to be quite a task 😅

I'm sorry for laughing. Every one of my pigs used to let you know when they needed to toilet during cuddle time except Jake, who apparently had a body sized bladder to boot.

Edit: Jack would wheek really urgently, Blitzen would just do what he would usually do to get you to put him down except with more urgency than normal, Rocco would repeatedly nudge something (usually your hand), Comet would lightly pull at your clothes, and Jake would just let loose. I kept watching him to see if there were ever any signs, and nope, you're dry one minute and very not dry the next.

Mine just poo all over 😂
 
When you take back ownership of your property once your tenant has been evicted for non payment of rent only to find that she has done no cleaning for nearly SIX YEARS including the toilets. :vom: :vom: :vom: When she started renting it it was perfect.
 
So as some of you are aware, I live in supported housing. It's 24hr support and was deemed necessary after a few major incidents a couple of years back. Back at the
end of March, we all got letters from the council saying they were gonna start charging us a contribution towards our care, which is fair enough. They were gonna have it all sorted out by early April (snort), do all the financial checks, and then they'd let us know the amounts we owe.
Well, spoiler alert, they did not. In fact I didn't get my financial assessment til the very end of August. I got a letter at the start of September saying that now they'd done the financial assessments, I owed them a backpayment of, oh, nearly £3000. I'm not sure where they think I'm magically going to procure that amount of money from nor why they think I'm going to pay it, seeing as I never got a chance to review the amount or my willingness to pay said amount.

Guess it's looking like I'm going to be moving again first chance I get, lol. Not because they claim I owe them that much, but the actual amount they're talking about is a vast chunk of money. My previous care co-ordinator told them I needed 5 hours of dedicated support a week. The amount the council are asking for is the equivalent of paying about £25 an hour for those 5 hours.
 
Some people have no respect for other people’s property, how can you live like that🤢 did you have to clean it yourself or get the dirty squad in @Betsy

That’s a complete and utter joke :( where the heck have they got £3000 from?

Don’t get me started on support as I’m currently being past from pillow to post as it would seem nobody wants to deal with me

Oh no that's awful, my old Mum pays only £15 per month towards her sheltered housing with 24 hour support, and £280 per month from her PIP disability benefits towards her 84 monthly hours of home care and support! Come and live in Liverpool, we have brilliant support services, we all pay the social care support premium along with our council tax and I think its a great use of funds x

I no longer have the letter as the council refused to discuss any of it with me (and I was polite the entire time, too. Maybe next time I should swear at them if that's the reaction I'll get anyway) but it's something like just under £130 a week, backpaid for 21-25 weeks (again, not 100% on the numbers). I spoke with my care co-ordinator today and she said her manager's looking into whether I can claim legal aid for it because it's not something I actually agreed to pay, so...just gotta wait and see, lol. Because you can bet the council aren't paying their staff that amount of money, they told me at one point I should be grateful because apparently I'm still not paying the full amount. It's ridiculous haha.

Thing is, I haven't got the money to move so far...plus after the "interesting" times I've had with mental health services here I'm loathe to start those shenanigans all over again.

We moved my Mum here from West Yorkshire a year ago because the support she got there was pretty non-existent, within a week she had a social worker and a nice understanding GP and all sorts of stuff we never imagined she'd be entitled to... the postcode lottery for support and health services is criminal really, hope you can sort things out x

It took this lot a...while...to get their acts together and I'm still not above bypassing them when trying to work with them isn't worth the hassle, but we're in a much better position than we were even a couple of years ago when I had someone either pushed out of the job or fired, not sure which. Never did want to know specifically, but they deserved it and I'm not really sorry hah.
The council are also talking about shutting this particular housing project down. I wouldn't lose my tenancy but the support wouldn't be here anyway. So why would I be paying £25 an hour for something that doesn't exist?
Because while mental health services might have their act together, the same cannot be said for the council who have been a disaster since Day 0.

No I am NOT cleaning it it is completely disgusting and stinks of stale fags (no smoking allowed) and stale wee!:yikes::vom: We have appointed cleaners and it'll take 5 ladies nearly 2 days to get the place clean and hygienic! :blink: That's not to mention the house clearance bods and my decorator. It's gonna cost a fortune to get the place habitable. Just as well my son is buying it cos we wouldn't want to spend that much on just anybody.
 
As a smoker I have never understood the need to smoke indoors if the landlord says no. I'm allowed to smoke indoors here but the flats for community clients (short term, usually 2 weeks max) you can't smoke in. I was grumbling about having to come upstairs to smoke back when my flat got flooded and a good chunk of people kept being like "just smoke out the bathroom window, they're hardly gonna notice". Uh, they'll notice. Non-smokers can smell cigarette smoke a mile off and we can't because we're smokers, but somehow they believe everyone else is just lying about it because they personally can't smell it themselves?
Take 5 steps outside and buy an umbrella and welly boots if you need to. Smokers can be some of the most arrogant entitled people where smoking is concerned.

Oh that’s awful! We were lucky with our tenants, they left it clean despite having pets which was agreed on at the time. We have sold up now as it’s all becoming too much legislation etc (the bad landlords have spoilt it for us good ones). It’s not worth the hassle

I will never rent again after this experience!
 
Sorry you both had bad experience with your tenant! That’s actually really rank. I hope you kept all of her deposit! I like to think we are good tenants. The previous but one place we stayed in was dirty when we entered it. I always take photos and when we left, we left it spotless. The agent came back with a message and I told them how we had found it, and offered to include photos. There was no response. Funnily enough the previous tenant was a contractor who was also supposed to have fitted the fan in the bathroom...
 
I could never rent out a house. Some people are so disgusting and have no respect for other people’s property. Before we brought our house, we rented a house and it was gross when we first moved in. Don’t get me wrong, the landlord had got cleaners in but they forgot to do the oven and clean the top of the cupboards and no word of a lie, the oven must have had 5inches of grease inside and the top of the cupboards was covered in sticky fat 🤢 It also smelt of stale fags too
 
Everyone deserves a clean and warm place to live, either rented or purchased. There are some terrible landlords and some terrible renters and owners.
Unfortunately these people tend to spoil things for the vast majority of the public in all sorts of ways.
 
Now I have something more disgusting/horrific to report about the House of Horrors! There was a very expensive ferret cage in the lean-to at the side of the house. I brought it home to clean up and sell. I found the dead ferret in there all petrified with the fur come off and covering it up lying where it had died:yikes::yikes:.:cen::cen:
 
Oh my, how horrible! the poor animal. Could you report her to the RSPCA? Is there anyone who has her contact details, that’s really dreadful. Let’s hope this poor ferret was not stared to death. This woman has obviously got serious issues. Poor you x
We were so lucky, we just had to remove about 50 assorted plastic gnomes and bambi’s etc that were left abandoned in the garden!
