    its unbelievable what you've been though Mike
    I watched Cowboy Builders last night and the fact is they get off with it AGAIN and AGAIN...they set up a Ltd company, rip people of let the company go bust and move on and create another, leaving a trail of devastation and misery behind them, ducking and dodging ever having to pay their debts. Someone somewhere has to take a long hard look at this and close the escape routes for these con men.
    ...how they can they get off with this?!?
    wishing you lots of strength and hope x

    Edit: Oi, Mike - are their any photos of your house and garden as they stand online? Need to know how big a shovel to bring ;)

    Thanks sunnydais

    Welcome to our happy(ish) band.

    Things will change but it won't be overnight. It's going to be a long haul but we can all do a bit.

    Excellent meeting and a drive round the area. Surprisingly little to show off in this one-horse (but rather sweet) town.
