I need my letter box replacing have you got any ideas of how i could stop my husband from eating and sleeping for long enough to complete this task. Cheers sue

Some 9" nails through the door of the fridge should help with the eating problem, while your at it put some through the door of the local pub to stop temptation. Another trick is to threaten a visit to the in-laws.

Once you manage to get him motivated replacing the letter box should be pretty straight forward. Most seem to either be bolted or screwed in, just make sure you get one that is the right size otherwise you may have to alter the size of the hole in the door.
