    Never mind all that eyelashes stuff: how are you with roast chicken?


    Ah, funnily enough I cooked that on Sunday. I decided to treat myself to a free range one as they were on offer and boy, was it yummy. Get yourself on the M3. Just make sure you bring Woody! :D

    SB - I am currently retraining but had I known then what I know now I would have retrained as a plumber/builder. Its bloody madness how crap they are and how they just have such little thought and just dont think things beyond what is in front of them(now THAT is a man thing!) :D

    I'm sorry you're feeling gloomy. I'm not doing anything exciting.

    We could go on Messenger and I could whisper how poor I am and stuff! Show you pictures of my exposed joists? Would that help? You know you want to!

  • Morning sunshine! :)

    Just reading the last couple of pages & trying to keep up. Funny, I joined this site for PPi advice and deals with utility suppliers etc. I find myself checking your thread in the morning and at night before I get on with anything else!

    Don't know if you ever saw my first post about old boiler!....bloody disaster, I had a point to make but never managed it:rotfl:. I sent looooonnnng winded letters to British Gas & Virgin to complain. Surprisingly :rotfl:, they had no affect whatsoever.

    Had I found your thread first, I could have hired YOU to articulate all my letters for me!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    You've got bigger issues to complain about but you're very good at getting your point across...I'm sure I'm not the only person thats useless with anything like that, maybe when all your troubles are over you could think about a career change, some kind of advisory service or 'How To' guide.:)

    Anyway, check back later & have a good day!;)

    Probably best not to wait until my troubles are over - could be a long time.

    If I can help anyone I will. I'm sure you have no problems making yourself understood really.

    :o Don't think customer services at BGas & Virgin would agree anymore than the guys that replied to old boiler thread. :rotfl::rotfl:It was very comical at the time, it was my very 1st post so because I didn't know where to post, I put it in 2 different places. I'm new to using computers too so I didn't know what I was doing and was frantically trying to flit between the 2 posts and trying to keep up with questions. Bless em, they were trying to help someone who is beyond all help!!! I was to scared to post at all after that. What a wally.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Flogging a dead horse with those two but I will bear your offer in mind. Better warn you though that I'm currently looking into CTax rebanding & PPi reclaiming. Still waiting for Data from bank at the minute but Council Tax rebanding looks like a bit of a minefield.

    Bit worried about that one, with me dealing with it, its more likely the whole road will end up paying more & I'll be public enemy No1:eek:

    What you up to today then? more letters? dentist? Whats the latest or is it all a waiting game at the minuete?

    Did you get the e-mail? Will be out soon.

    Hi Mike - you seem to be having a much quieter week! Problems - yep we all have them - OH has just been told that we have wet rot:eek: We thought it was dry rot, but no it is wet rot, but yeah don't panic that is better than dry rot says inspector!!!!!!!!!! Okay no I won't panic, just wait till report comes in (which thankfully is done free of charge) to see what damage we shall have to do to the house to find out what is causing it. The piece of skirting board that we had noticed was going funny shape and colour is the other side of our downstairs loo, but haven't noticed that is leaking - plumber friend coming in after his holiday at the end of the month to ensure that pipe into drains is not leaking into concrete somehow, but of course that means the laminate floor (only put down about 18 months ago) will have to come up. Then the other side of that is DS2 bedroom which was an extension about 20 years ago. Inspector thought that maybe the plastic membrane may not have been put down correctly, or has split or knowing my luck there never was one (evil ex used cheap builders). See there we are talking about bloody builders again. Either way I don't suppose the house insurance, which has always been paid and never made a claim on, will cover it and with OH out of work all extra costs, no matter how small, do make me PANIC:eek::eek::eek::eek:
    So have a good day one and all and I suppose I ought to get some work done!! Billie xx

    Damp and drains give me the willies. It's so hard to find the cause.

    Anyway, I'm glad I haven't got any problems like that. I can see the foundations when I'm lying in bed! They're fine!

    Building Insurance should cover it. No?

    Anyway, that cheered me up! Thank you!
