Yes, I made it quite clear what their obligations were . Unfortunately that does however mean I will be without my car tomorrow while they replace the windscreen, although they are providing a courtesy car. we'll see how it goes.

The local Toyota dealer here is like a drunken surgeon. I am gradually improving my toolbox, because they seem to regularly forget tools under the bonnet. On the way home, something rattles under the bonnet... So far a pair of pliers and a ratchet spanner with 13mm bit. As to old hard drives, yes, we take a drill to them at work. That's what apprentices are for!

Got a letter from the letting agent - they want to put my rent up by over 6.5% this year. I can confidently say my pay hasn't gone up by that much. Time to make a lower counter offer. In other news, there is a pneumatic digger going off on the other side of the wall in my office (the building next door is being demolished). I'm in for a restful day at work

Check rents in your area, something tells me they probably haven't gone up. You can say no.

Check the contract you originally signed, because ours has it stated that for the duration of the contract the landlord can't increase our rent. Mark

I'm coming to the end of my fixed term agreement - I normally renew for a year so they can't raise the rent for a year. I have checked local rents and even at the level they're suggesting it's quite a bit below the market (I've lived here for 9 years so I've been quite successful in keeping my rent down).
I will be going back with a lower suggestion - I'm a reliable long term tennant which has to count for something.

Biggish document to scan to pdf. The printer in the building I work in can do this but it's not as good as one of the big Xerox MFP jobs in some of the other buildings round site (what, the £7k+ thing does the job better than the £200 one? Colour me shocked). Anywho, I take my document over to a building last thing yesterday as I needed to do something else over there anyway. Scan my document (the printer e-mails the pdf to you). Do my other thing then go back to the office... where I discover I forgot to set the scanner to double sided Better luck next time

In my workplace the favourite is for the MFP to eventually take in all 200 pages then NOT email it to you.

Toilet leaking for around the joint in the waste pipe - SWMBO pointed it out last night so managed to "squidge" it around a bit so it only drips when its being used - and now something under the joint to collect the drips but will need to take it apart to fit a new seal - just need to check with a mate who is a plumber if I need to do anything else

I hope it goes better than my recent toilet fixing experience. The first problem resulted in a second and fixing that resulted in a third - there was much travelling back and forth to B&Q to get bits.

That's exactly why I always get a plumber in.

Just fit a new seal and finish it off with densotape. Sod coughing up for a plumber.
