Hello all, this is actually my second post, I just had to reply to something on one of the other threads or I don't think id ever have posted. Been lurking here for about a week. I generally tend to hover between a 2-3 depending on what room we are talking about ( after today bedroom will certainly be at a 3 because of how much junk Im about to hide in there) Im currently taking a day off work "sick" because I have to have a gas safety check this evening to stop my landlord gaining power of entry tomorrow. I need to make kitchen, living room, and hall ( might get bathroom done) and clear a space around the gas boiler that's out on the balcony. So far I seem to be on target by cleaning for 30 mins then taking 10 min breaks. anyway that's my 10 mins over best finish off the kitchen

Greeting papertyger! Good for you for finally getting the courage to post! If you need a bit of extra support and motivation, you may want to try the Working in Threes thread in listzilla. Or chat. Or create your own big or small list in listzilla. Sometimes it is nice to see all you have done written out. And it is nice to take a quick break to type it out. I wish you luck for your inspection tonight!

Welcome. Congrats on the cleaning! Does this mean that the landlord doesn't have to come in? What a relief. I hate that thought. *shudder*.

well..... funny you should ask that ... If I didn't let them in today, they would be coming round with a carpenter to force entry tomorrow....
If they do come today they wont have to gain entry. BUT!, there is 3 mins till the gas people stop work and no one has shown up!
so now who the hell knows whats going to happen. Im going to have to take another day off to let them in if they come, or to phone up and have a rant if they don't.

Welcome, papertyger !
Congrats on making your deadline. Glad the guy finally showed.
Good luck on that bedroom. You've already proven you can do it.
Glad you are here.
