Dammit!

I went rummaging at the bottom of my wardrobe this morning, planning to clear it out as I need somewhere to store my old TV (my uncle's given me his old one, as the one my grandparents gave me doesn't have a very good focus, so I need somewhere to keep the one already in my room since it still works). I was keeping my wool in a wicker basket, but when I pulled it out the basket had gone all mouldy! :-(

It's a recurring problem in my room, since the floods I used to have in my bathroom. For some reason, my bedroom still has damp issues *grumbles*

There's no sign - at least at the moment - of any damp on the wool inside the basket. But it all smells very fausty. And some of it's really nice wool too...

Anyone got much experience with wool? Can I shove all of it in the machine and wash it, or do I just have to throw it all away? I really, really hope not.

I would hope so, yes *nods*

Yeah - we'd only just moved in when that started, and that was about three years ago now! :-( We were decorating, when Mel yelled to me to come see the water pouring down the bathroom window.

That got fixed, but they didn't fix it properly and there was water pooling inbetween my flat and my upstairs neighbours - they've only just fixed that last November, after a crack appeared in my ceiling and water started dripping down. *sigh*

Since we moved in, I've had to have all my bedroom furniture and carpet replaced, but the damp's never gone away. And the council are doing sod all about it.

I so want to move...
