It's now been nearly 2 months that we have been without an oven & I'm seriously getting some Sunday Roast withdrawel

Has anyone got some favourite "one pot" type recipies they'd like to share - pretty please

has your landlord still not sorted the oven?

hope you give him grief...

you can do a good approximation of roast chicken with a barbeque with a lid if you have one!!!

Hiya Bloomer

No, it's still not sorted

we're just waiting for the kitchen ceiling to cave-in during this next heavy rainfall - between where the kitchen joins the main house, somethings not right (flashing?), every time it rains water pours down the adjoining wall, through the wall cupboards (one of which is now going mouldy

) & ends in a waterfall over the worktop to the floor - very unique interior decor

The last time it rained (a few days ago) the ceiling started bowing, so it won't be long now - oh, & my OH took piccys of the water running out of the holes in the wall-sockets

Maybe I should start a poll - to see how long folks'll think it holds up

depending on your contract and how brave you are a leaky roof means the property is uninhabitable and you can with hold rent till its fixed not sure of the process i think you have to warn the landlord thats a step you are prepared to take etc, but do remember reading something about it when we took a rental property in Scotland...

might be worth some further reading, good luck in next weeks forecast rain and wind...
