Fill in the gaps with the correct form of have or

get and the correct form of the verb in brackets.

Sometimes there is more than one possible
answer. In one gap, you dont need have or get.

When I was a child, my family lived in an old house

which always needed work, but we never 1 got
anyone to fix (fix) things. My dad liked doing
everything himself, but he always 2
me
and my brothers
(help). I hated it, so now
I always try to 3
things
(do)
by professionals who know what theyre doing!
Anyway, my husband Bill and I moved into this
old cottage two months ago and weve already
4
a lot of work
(do). Last month
we 5
the roof
(repair) and next
week were 6
a new kitchen
(put in). Unfortunately, the boiler broke down this
morning, so we havent got any hot water at the
moment! Its probably not possible to 7
it
(fix) so we need to 8
it
(replace) as soon as possible, which wont be cheap.
Then theres all the decorating to be done. We were
thinking of 9
the house
(decorate)
professionally, but it would have cost a fortune.
I hate painting so Ill try 10
my husband
(do) that. Theres the garden to sort out
too, but I love gardening so were 11
(do)
that ourselves. Actually, Im 12
some friends
(come) and help, then we can have a party
afterwards to celebrate all our hard work!
