LadyM: I always told dh that he could have two wives but the next one had to have mechanical and electrical repair skills to maintain the car and repair small appliances!
The towels are dry but really I shouldn't take credit for that since all I did was put them in the dryer (and did that 3 hours later than I intended to!)
I did go over the rent numbers again and now fully understand them. I save $2.90 per month over some of the other people (because of the delay running into the following year, it is now within 90 days of my rent anniversary and they can't raise the rent more than the minimum because they have to tell me 90 days in advance.)
If we had gone to a hearing and lost, I would have to pay $5 more this upcoming year than I'm currently paying after 10 months of frittering around waiting for hearings and negotiations.
Anyway, I double checked in Quicken and I haven't written the cheques for April and May (my anniversary date is June) so I wrote out those in the new amount and will also owe the landlord $900 but I'll wait until they send me a bill for that. I'll also wait for them to confirm my amount for 2018/19 before writing out those cheques. Then I'll write them up and be done with it. This year has been tense because I've only been doing a few cheques at a time since I kept expecting a settlement.
