Arrrrrghhhhh!!!!!!
As you know we are doing the bathroom. The room used to be seperate toilet and bathroom but it was knocked into one by the previous owner. The bit of wall the toilet was on stuck out about a foot further into the room.
The radiator plumber man said that if he was doing the bathroom, he'd knock the false wall out behind the toilet and move it back so the room was more square. Decided to do that.
Got all the rubble out and discovered micky mouse plumbing work was hiding behind so it all needs altering. It's going into the main soil stack with the added complication of the ensuite also joining in and we decided it was too complicated for us to do.
Rang radiator plumber man back, agreed a price and set a date for the job. He never showed up, and when Craig rang him he said he'd forgot and he'd ring back to rearrange. Never heard from him again.
Found someone else who agreed a price. Asked him for a date and he said he'd get back to me, and never heard from him again.
Found a third man who said he could do the job this weekend. Just got a message from him to sake he has broken his foot, so he's going to be out of action for at least three weeks.
If anyone can magic me a plumber out of thin air, I'd really appreciate it.Here I go again on my own....0 -
Well I'm away to bed.
Today has been A Bad Day.
I'm really glad I could come on here and talk to you guys today as OH has been at work all day.
I've been in touch with an ex-collegue today and also my Deputy from work and I think there is going to be a big turnout at my friends funeral. The least we can do is give him a fitting goodbye:(
This thread has its ups and downs, its occassional b1tchiness and arguements but at the end of the day, there will always be someone here with a kind word and a virtual shoulder to cry on, and I thank you all for that today x
Ok needs a sick-bag now

mfd - I have 2 dummies. seriously need more!
The only reason OH got up the other night was because Jack had hit 2nd one under cot (which also has all his clothes under) and I couldn't reach them or see them (hadn't put specs on!) so Jack was screaming while I was trying to find them!A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

Talking about pram obsession...
I don't know whether to get the Oyster tomorrow or not... We've got the money for it, but I don't know if I should buy it when there's 3[STRIKE] unsuitable [/STRIKE]other buggies up the hall... Plus I still need to pay off my Mum's credit card from when we bought the shed on it in November and I didn't want to still be paying it now... Plus it's Aimee's birthday in a fortnight and her main present is still outstanding... As is a plan for the actual day...
