Is there something in your home that's been broken or half-finished for ages that you just never get around to fixing?

A natural way to answer

There's a door that's never closed properly since we moved in. It's the sort of small job I keep meaning to do but somehow always slips down the list. One day I'll finally tackle it.

Key phrases to use

• get round to it — to finally find the time to do something you've been meaning to do“I'll fix it when I get round to it.”
• crack on with it — to get on and make energetic progress with a task“Let's stop chatting and crack on with it.”
• let it slide — to allow something to be neglected or to stop bothering about it“I let the gardening slide over winter.”
