Please advise - it's all gone SO wrong

Mike? Just where did you get your sugar puffs? Poot Neville!

Butti

Yuk, just had to double bag a mouse and put it in the bin:(

Did you check the microchip Butti? It might have been Neville. Mike's been so lost without him.

Keiss21....stop lurking & start posting!

Who....me?!

Sorry, it is taking all my time just to keep up with all the threads I follow, never mind posting on all of them!! Also...life away from MSE keeps getting in the way...how very dare it!

Have we "lost" Mike until after the work has been done then, or is he smuggling his 'puter away with him??...I do remember he muttered something about no-one letting the cat out of the bag (watch out Neville!! :eek:).
This thread is really inspirational, so much has happened in only a few months. Not just to Mike, but to so many of the posters on this thread. Those of you going down there to help...and be there for the big reveal will no doubt have a fantastic time. It will be odd to hook up at last with all these friends you have yet to meet in the flesh (as it were)...but a great thing too.

Now I really must get to bed...working again tomorrow. Will pop in more regularly and keep up with all the goings-on....and perhaps even post again!

Night. night.

Thanks and welcome back.

In the dull days ahead, it might be interesting, if people want to, to hear how this thread struck a chord with anything in their own life. Maybe it's not so much about builders? Has it made you think differently about anything?

The more posts, the better, even if it's just a few words.

For me, it's shown that being more open can be a good thing...

Right Mike you got a use for any more hands on 18th? If so till when?

I'm serious... And I'm bloody awesome at painting (even if I do say so myself).

If the answer's yes I'll need the name of the nearest train station and some idea where you actually live so I can book a B&B.

Ok that's as much serious as I can stick in one go... back to the frivolities...

Must be something about the name Neville.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hideous-13-Mainly-Blue-Murano-Glass-Fish-Got-Go-/270585622639?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Art_Glass&hash=item3f0028f06f

Don't worry Rainbow Liberty - it's a big ask to expect anyone to read this from cover to ever-moving cover! You are very welcome and there's still lots to do yet...


Man buys house, employs builder.

:mad: Builder does a bit of work then legs it with the cash.

Man gets depression, can't work.

:cool: Man starts thread on MSE

:eek: Man's benefits stopped following medical.

Man appeals, wins, gets benefit restored.

Man gets CCJ and charging order against builder.

Builder decides he doesn't want to repay the money.

Man borrows money to have roof and heating put in.

Man tells The One Show about problems.

:j The One Show does a report on him

:T MSE thread goes ballistic

Man contacts Cowboy Trap. They get interested

Man contacts DIY SOS. Hundreds of MSErs e-mail executive producer. They get interested.

Man contacts Cowboy Builders. They get interested.

DIY SOS say they'll feature man.

:eek: Man wets himself.

:T MSE thread continues to explode.

DIY SOS agree to do a Big Build episode, promise to finish the house.

:eek: DIY SOS start filming. Man and sons wet themselves.

:mad: Man spends whole damn weekend packing and cleaning bathroom.

:beer: Man stops writing summary.

:A Man moves to friend's house to dog-sit while house is finished.


There's a lot more going on between each stage of course, but the story's not over.

In coming issues:

:mad: Man watches disbelievingly as MSErs struggle to book a hotel room. Whole rebuild project involves fewer phone calls and problems.

Man and sons do the 'Open your eyes' bit. Wet themselves again.

:A Man tries to thank MSErs for all they've done and fails.

Man reveals a cunning plan to force builder to sell his house and repay some of the people whose lives he destroyed.

:T MSErs create website to help and support people who have been ripped off by crooks

:beer: Man's life restored, gets off incapacity benefit, starts working again, finds love and replaces car sold to pay for electrical and plumbing work.



Something like that anyway!
