My Feet Are Cold

Yep, it's a sure sign that this house is getting colder by the day, my feet are cold! Of course there are a number of other signs that a house is unhealthily cold@
Milk stays fresh despite being left ou of the fredge all day!
Unwashed pots don't even begin to smell for a while!
Typing things into the computer gets less co-ordinated....

Well there are probably loads of things but more importantly, I can hear you ask, why don't you just put the heating on yopu idiot!? This brings me to a very important point - THERE'S NO HEATING OR HOT WATER IN THE HOUSE AT THE MOMENT!! So there ya go all you smartypants readers, we're freezing our buts off here because our landlord is too busy doing who knows what to his other 'financial investments' aka houses to you and me, and hasn't got time to get here and fix the heating. And just as you're about to say "surely it's not that biga job, why not phone him" we have and it is 'that big a job' because last week he (the landlord) decided to rip out the hot water system and drain the central heating just in time for the wet, cold weather to arrive....bbrrrrrrrrrrr!

In defense of my landlord I have to say he's by no means the worst, he's just easily distracted and busy. Unlike him there are some shocking landlords in Manchester with even poorer excuses for houses to rent, especially to students. This I discovered during the summer while I hunted around for somewhere to live. One guy advertised "LUXURY ONE-BEDROOM FLATS" which on inspection were in fact flea-infested, crumbling shoe boxes which would have cost so much to furnish, heat etc I'd have been living off ASDA Smartprice noodles for the whole year!

Anyway that's just a sample, if anyone's got any LANDLORD HORROR STORIES lets have 'm and we'll publish them here on the blog.

Time to go and eat now before the Mighty Reds take on Monaco in the 'not exactly champions' league! More later....
