Home & Garden - 17 October 2006

I'll admit I do have moderate depression. I also have a four-month-old baby who still isn't sleeping thru the night. (We're working on it.) But I'm trying to keep the house in order; get organized, make places for things to go...and it seems that I can't get any of it done; I can't seem to stay focused on one task. I start five different things and finish none of them. I have good intentions in mind and I know what I want the end result to look like, but it seems I can't get from here to there. This hasn't always been like this. I've always had some level of disorganization but I've generally been able to at least finish a task! It's so bad lately that there's piles of things everywhere and I can't seem to get motivated enough to do anything about it...I feel like I'm running in circles. I've tried making lists, setting goals...and I'm still at square one. Do any of you have any suggestions?

Brought an old cottage with damp problems that were promised to be fixed and to our knowledge they were. Chimney rebuilt, damp coarse done,all the usual the survey told us the damp upstairs due to poor ventilation in chimney but they had put pots on with tile covers so it could breath. Had to wait for it to dry out brought dehumidifier drying out a treat. Then winter came heavy rain water dripped through ceiling don,t know wher from roof fine. Then damp appears on inside partition wall. Ripped out built in wardrobes innext room walls damp. We have rerendered the chimney watersealed it flashin & rooftiles are good. We recapped the unused outside chimneys with flat topped terracotta pots with vents in sides. Watersealed whole house dampseal painted the inside walls and its started coming through again but worse the walls are now wringing wet did we do wrong with the capping or is it the walls that are porous its single brick rendered & over 100yrs old house. We're unsure wher to get help

My boyfriend decided to leave me because he says I am a slob, we have been together for 4yrs and have a 10 month old. I started working 10 hours a day 6 days a week and I have 4 yr old from previous realtionship. He juts lost his job and has gotten very demanding on house chores. I wash dishes and take out the trash daily but the rest of the chores are done on weekends. He thinks I don't do enough and decided to leave. am I wrong?

Web sources differ in their description of width: some say 8ft, some 15-20 ft. I guess the width and height will vary depending on the region. More detail on the tree location: well-drained soil, exposed to cold winds and full sun. Thanks in advance.

The water storage tank in our Apt block is ok, and the neighbours supply is fine. I don't know if i should replace the ballcock (which was replaced 18 months ago). Could it be an airlock or faulty valve??.....Thanks guys!!:)

The plastic pipes run behind the studded walls like spiders webs.

We just moved into an important and it's great aside from the toilet. There's enough water to fully flush but after the flush, the water in the bowl is very low, almost at the bottom. We have to do a half flush to fill it back up to normal levels. I've tried to add more water to the reservoir but that hasn't really done the trick. Does anyone have any idea how to make it so that after a flush, the water in the bowl itself returns to a normal level for a toilet? Thanks.

I'm trying to redesign my bathroom to squeeze in a shower. But I can find very few dimensions for toilets. In the shop the smallest ones seem to measure about 45cm in width - but how much space should I allow on each side. I don't want to be sitting with a bum cheek on the shower panel wall! (Any recommendations for cheap but modern bathroom furniture also appreciated. I'm in Manchester UK or can buy on web)
Thanks
