Do all people use dishwashers or is washing up by hand still the way lots of people do the dishes?

It would be a great help if people could fill in my questionnaire and give there opionons on household daily tasks

Due to damp a large chunk of the ceiling on the stairway has fallen away, and more seems to fall daily, the halls office don't seem to care and I don't want it spreading to my room as it drips.

I am trying to kill my entire lawn, so I can re-seed it with grass. I need a quick and effective way to kill it. I wanted to rent a tiller and use that to uproot the weeds, but the man I talked to said they'd come back in a few days unless I killed it first. I've never tried to do anything like this before and am not sure exactly what to do. Please give some advice on how to make my lawn presentable again. It's full of weeds, and has terrible soil.

I am just furnishing a small Victorian terraced house that I bought recently and can't afford everything at once but meanwhile really need a good, comfortable chair in which to relax. I don't want to buy just for the sake of getting 'something' but would like to add later. However, all comfortable armchairs/recliners look so old fashioned and boring. Can anyone suggest where I might find a contemporary looking armchair that would fit in with how I have decorated so far; Straw coloured walls; recess walls next to fireplace covered with a darker hessian (sp?) wooden cladding over the chimney brest; a black and chrome focal gas fire (one of those that is flueless and fits on the wall) quite eye catching! laminated floor board type floor. Modern lamps; that's about it so far ... Yes, the house is Victorian but somehow a modern and mellow decor matches my mood at his time in my life!

We have two rheem heat pumps installed in 2002. A couple months ago, one of the compressors has to be replaced and we had a specialist replaced it for us. Last week, when we turned on the heat and set the temperature to 70. The heating system won't stop even through the room temperature had reached 75. We had the same person that replaced our compressor to check on the problem, and the solution he gave us was to change the thermostat. We purchased a new thermostat and had it replaced. The next day, our heat pump still won't stop running and we had the same technician check on it again. The solution was still the same, something wrong with the thermostat and we have to buy another one. Can someone tell us what could be causing this?

I cut it back and covered it with gardeners fabric with a bin bag over the top last year and the centre went mouldy over winter. I replanted it and it did have little new plants that sprouted, but this time I'd like to keep the whole plant if possible. As there is likely to be a frost tonight I am worried and unsure whether just to leave it.
The banana plant is about 15ft high and planted in a very large pot in a London garden.
www.architecturalplants.com recommend cutting back with knife - anyone got a better idea?
Thanks

The wall opposite the front doors is 9' wide and 8' high. It has a 4x6 mirror on it to reflect light from the windows in the doors. Cream tile and pale custard yellow walls with a rust, copper, cream stripped 5x7 rug. There is an 8' long 30" high, mahogany book shelf under the mirror. I could use some suggestions.

Thanks to each and every one with any suggestions.

Singer Down-Flo Electric Wall Heater
Series 5990 (1.5 -2.0 kw Model) 220 volt - 20 amp circuit
Originally installed in 1980, unit worked with automatic thermostat but in reinstalling to new location, I forgot which way black/white wires go. I reconnected but unit now constantly runs (with or without heat) . I wonder if polarity should be reversed to run correctly.

It is in our garden in Bristol in a bed, it was a nice small round ball when we brought it but it has done well over the summer and has grown massive and out of shape, is it too late to cut it back into shape now? When is the best time and how do we protect it from frost?
