How many visits is acceptable from a landlord???

He emailed and visited me on Monday to check the progress of the skip... he emailed me again this afternoon - and he's coming again tomorrow afternoon, again under the guise of checking progress on the skip.

At this point, these "checks" feel like more of an inconvenience than they are a help to me because it means that I'm not going to be able to focus on what he wants me to do and I've got to stop and keep an eye out on him visiting because he won't ring the doorbell like a normal person.

That does seem like a lot, almost like surveillance.

@blindbob It was the same last week, too - only last week, he was advising me to keep going with what I'm doing at a pace that was going to confine me to bed if I had kept it up... I wouldn't have managed to have done everything that I have achieved this week if I had tried to do what he said last week instead of taking a weekend break.

The only difference is that last week, I actually needed an extension on the time that I have the skip for and it was one of his messages that prompted me to ask for the extra time.

He was able to get me the extra week that I needed and I paid him back by achieving a lot more than I thought that I could do. It's still not perfect, I admit that, but I have gotten rid of a lot of rubbish that needed to go.

Now the skip is almost full and I still have some big bits of furniture that still need to go into it before Monday.
