They're going to replace it but need the landlord's confirmation - he's in Turkey and not answering his phone. Just means I have a machine full of wet clothes getting mildewy and stinky for a week. Worked from home today to let the engineer in.

thats a bit shit. I'd say on the basis of it being a legal requirement they'd want to be sorting that craic out.

Washing machine broke, letting agent sent engineer around, engineer said its beyond repair but he has a spare in the van, letting agent says landlord needs to approve and he's on holiday at the moment, I have a sink full of wet clothes for another few days

outsource that shit to the local laundromat and send the agent an invoice

Spending my afternoon rearranging the kid's bedroom furniture. No layout works, so I may have to half-disassemble a loft bed that took me a day to put together just so I can reverse the wardrobe part.

Didn't have to do this after all. With a bit of creative thinking I found a layout that a) worked and b) was approved by management, so gold star for me. Took bleedin hours and loft beds are HEAVY.

TOP TIP: if you've wooden floors, always put those little felt pads on the furniture feet. Makes pushing stuff around the room so much easier.

I'm painting the spare room and had to move one of those 6' tall shelving units full of books. No option but to take everything off of it. Jesus, the house isnow FULL of books and boxes of CDs now, those things hover up a lot of stuff.

I need to figure out some book shelving now. The kid's moving from "let's display all the nice covers" to "fit as many of the things in the least linear storage space possible".

Isn't that what ikea is for?

More flat related whining: I have drain flies and they won't fuck off. I've poured drain cleaner down both sinks. Seems to have done the trick in the bathroom but the little bastards are still in the kitchen.

Also I strained a muscle in my back and it's too humid.

Oh absolutely, the issue is where to put the shelves. Running out of available / suitable wall space.
