Checkatrade might work - I (clearly!) haven't tried it. If you were local I'd give you the details for Woody the.... - no, said too much already. :D

ah you mean like the mybuilder.com website which has lots of feedback about how good they all are??? Which I swear is filled in by their mates!!!!!!! :mad:

God, I need wine and chocolate.

although to be fair they told me on the DIY thread that there is something called trustmark so I might have a nose at that

Now, about Woody.....

Here is one to cheer you up...as you know I live in a shack too. I have about £5k worth of work to do at the moment. I cant give my money away!!! Tradesmen dont call when they say they will, dont turn up, and if by some miracle they do actually turn up, they do a !!!!! job. :mad: No recession in the building trade, certainly not in sunny Wiltshire!

So Mike, I know where you are in the scheme of things. Oh and remember all that positive toss - just get an axe and kill them all!!!!!!

Word to the wise Redlady, whatever they do, add 50% on top to the budget! Either they'll go over or you'll be paying a second guy to repair first guys !!!! ups. Never met 1 yet that did a job right first time...Is it a man thing I wonder?:cool:

You need a contact number for Mikes NBL, if a man can do it, betcha life a woman will do it better!

If you're not eating right, are you at least managing your diabetes!!

Hope your back pay arrives soon Mike, never mind the ceasars, you'll be eating the bloody dogs in a minute...It won't matter how cute they looked on the beach at sunrise, you'll be salavating at the thought of roasting 'em. Lucky you've got no cooker big enough for them,...see there's always a bright side:p

Only joking mate, how are you & can I do anything to help?

Not sure about that. Doing my best.

satay?

About 6 weeks until they sort it out and get round to sending a cheque by snail apparently. I'll forget about it until i see it or it will all be spent. It'll pay some bills which will be great, but i don't think there will be enough for luxuries. Actually the past year or two has shown me that i don't really mind not having the latest iphone or whatever. There's lots of stuff that's nice which doesn't cost much.

i'm ok. Thank you. I can't think of anything i need that anyone could do really. At least not from a distance. Maybe i can do something for someone else on here.

Night, all.

I had a feeling I did, or at least intended to.
