Isn't it just good manners?

I've been doing quite a lot with Freecycle just recently and am amazed at the number of people that just don't bother to reply to your e-mail enquring about whatever it is they're offering. Even a quick "sorry it's gone" would be fine but not to acknowledge your inquiry in any way is just bad manners to my mind.

Rant over.

We spent the weekend at the Cottage and it really does feel like home now. It was quite strange going back to the flat last night. Things are moving on - the fridge freezer arrived on Saturday so that room is nearly complete - just need the cupboard doors put on, a coat of paint and some blinds for the window. The bathroom just needs a coat of paint although OH has been tearing his hair out because the shower door kept leaking. Turns out it's a manky tube of silicon so he's had to strip it all out and start again. He's also been stripping the ceilings. We have two wooden ceilings, both of which need quite a bit of work to bring them to somewhere near decent. Once they're done, the wooden floors have to be stripped and sealed and then everything gets a coat of paint and we're done!

A wordy question. If you can be "inept", why can't you be "ept"? not quite sure why my mind thought of that as I was dropping off last night.
