I bought a LBP Sackboy beanie for £5.99 from Argos yesterday cos he looks cute. Got it home to find a big black smudge on its face, & if i'm honest its pretty gash quality. Even the free mwnke beanie I got with my PG Tips is better quality than this thing

22%.

Tried getting a loan, turned down. Suspect I'd get turned down if I tried to go for a ?8k credit card if I wanted a bank transfer. ?100 interest a month.

Only myself to blame though.

Ouch, your credit rating must have taken a big hit.

Mine isn't much better lol.

Nasty. I got into a little bit of credit card debt in my early 20's (only about 3K but it was up to my limit at the time).

Ironically the fact that banks were chucking credit at people like loons actually helped me, wasn't too hard back then to get a 0% card to transfer the balance to and I paid it off as sharpish as possible.

I've paid off the CC in full every month since then, lesson learned!

not having anything interesting to do on my week off, sandpaper down the mould in my house and re-paint.....yeah fun.

Kill the spores with bleach. It helps. (If you haven't already)

Hope you used anti mould paint. I did the same to my horrible damp bathroom a few weeks back and it still looks perfect. My house/flat is my irk, I really should move somewhere else but I hate moving house.

Might have to use that bleach tip in my room. The window in my house has been fitted by an idiot; it's drafty and so much moisture gets in most of the (wooden) frame is soggy and mouldy. The wall around it is starting to get moldy. Any tips for lessening this?

Get any mould sorted out sharpish, or you'll soon have a colony of mites infesting your room.

There is a coating you can buy at any DIY store that prevents and kills mould on any area, the one I have is designed for driveways / outside walls etc but as it got so bad I have used it inside my house. Once you have peeled back your wallpaper or taken off your paint etc you must coat with the mould preventer/killer and let to dry for 24hours before you do anything. Mine is going to take a bit longer as the wall needs to dry. Then there is a filler/paint that you can put onto your wall before painting or wallpapering over.

Apparently a humidifier is good for seeping the water out of the walls and keeps rooms warmer.

Hope that kind of helps.

It's true that sweeping generalisations never really help. I think there is something we can all agree on here though. Namely that tennis is a bit ****, and the only people who like it are women and/or flaming woofters

haha,not a bit but a lot I would say....watched by a bunch of snobby twats like Sir Cliff and 2nd rate entertainers.

F8*k me, if your a man and watch tennis you really need to grow a set

What is the cause of the damp? If you are just covering it over it will come back and worse it will be eating away at something else.

If it's a rented place get the landlord onto it asap.

If the frame is soggy/mouldy the frame needs to be taken out and replaced. Once it is comprimised to that extent it's next to useless.

The frame should have been seeled with mastic/silicone, if this was done poorly then water may have got in behind the seal and seep into the wood. Wehn it expands/shinks it will move and allow more water in next time.

Selling property. An 'interested' purchaser put an offer in a week or so back, we managed to find a very good property within the week and got an offer accepted too.

Everything was going well but now they wont answer calls or respond to the agent's requests for solicitors details so we can proceed. To make it worse the property I wanted is a repossession and thusly has a time limit to get the transaction sorted.

Thoroughly pissed off, ruined my evening.
