  • We’re not on mains water so it’s pumped up from an aquifer and stored. My limited understanding is that tank has UV filters to get rid of the nasty bacteria and those filters had/have not been properly cleaned so coliform and enterococci (I think) were detected in last week’s tests.

    Further tests carried out by the council yesterday and we await results but don’t necessarily trust what the management tells us so are going direct to the council as well. We have a right to know what’s going on.


  • Our water supply had been severely tainted with what we think is e.coli for 3 days before we found out by accident - and another 24 hours before the estate manager decided to let us know.

    Fortunately my other half had been away on business and I don’t drink water from the tap so we’re okay but our neighbours are pretty poorly.

    We’re on a boil notice for at least another 4 days and the manager is bringing us bottled water which is nice but considering this is their fault in the first place it’s the least they could do.

    And no word whatsoever from the landlord, WHO ALSO LIVES HERE.

    Fucking raging.




  • I use outlook at work but again it’s more about the process.

    My inbox is my “to do” list. I have lots of folders and subfolders and I file everything. Once a day I try to take a few minutes to file stuff that’s been dealt with.

    I do also file some "sent"mail too as I’m kinda CYA cautious like that.

    I get a bit stressed if my inbox gets to the point where I have to scroll down through it - that tells me I need to delegate, file or close out some items.

    Some people never file anything and just use the search function in whatever email client they’re in, but I’m a bit old and never had that function in the early days so it doesn’t come naturally to me - an inbox with 20,000 messages in it just freaks me out.

    I also use the conversation function which keeps everything tied together regardless of which folder it’s in.

    Trial and error. You don’t have to stick to a routine or method - if it’s not working for you, change something until it does.
