I am a bit of a worrier in general, but one key area is to do with my house. I guess it’s partly to do with the fact that I am a lone parent so everything is down to me so sort out.
But whenever something goes wrong in the house - e.g. problem with the boiler or similar - I get so stressed about it. At the moment, I have noticed a damp patch on a wall in the living room - think it’s to do with a gutter or maybe a central heating pipe. I need to get someone to look at it but in the meantime I am obsessing about it even though it’s not causing an immediate problem.

yes i would like a new walk in shower etc. but it is so hard to get decent workman that i think is it worth the hassle after having had a serious of bad workmen.

the issue ism getting decent workmen who can do the work to a decent fnish - they are few on the ground and the ones who are good are booked for months
