    No not yet Beanie, he came out last night and worked out what went wrong, and the shower has to come back out and get put back in again, the base isn't level.

    He's doing another job at the moment and is having to finish the bathroom inbetween jobs he had booked in for this week :(

    It'll be worth it in the end Claire.....just might take a bit to get there. I'm trying to get tiles off (Stage 1) and that is hard enough.

    Not doing it today though. Just had anaesthetic put in my eyes and my pupils look HUGE. Constantly wanting to wear sunglasses. They've been looking at my eyes for laser eye surgery. On top of a trip to the chiropractor, its been quite an 'uncomfortable' day so I'm going to put my trainers and my sunglasses on and walk to Sainsbury's for some wine.

    Isn't this how Bono lives his life? (without the walking!)

    Thanks Lou. It seems really complicated to me. I think I might just use the betfair cashback deal and see if/what I win - even if it's nothing I'm still a fiver up. That's about as complicated as I can manage!

    Ames I have a refer and earn code, you will get £25 free if you bet £25 I will get £25 too;)

    Not sure how much you have to bet for the quidco thingy

    Your refer and earn code is : P4XTQALMF

    It looks like you just put the code in when you sign up :T

    If its no good to you then dont worry:)
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Blimey, just looked at quidco and you get £35 cashback for a £30 bet then if it loses you get £25 back.

    Then the refer thing on top:beer:

    Sounds good Lou! I hope it's all still on next Tuesday, don't really have the money till then (I know I'll get it back but it'll take a while to come through).
