Getting money back from cowboy builders

skintdragon

SB asked: skintdragon...hope you're not still on hold, where'd you go?

Hey SB! :j

haha can you imagine if i was still on hold? they never answered the bleeding phone (or my emails for that matter); i gave up! Wonder if I should send them the phone bill and get them to reimburse me? cheeky !!!!!!s! Imagine a skeleton sat at her desk with a phone still held to her ear. :mad::mad::mad:

Aye sorry i have been busy at work but hame the noo so will read the rest of the forum to see what's occurring during my long absence!

Hope you're well xx :A

I've completely lost track of this thread, and all space and time inbetween. Now, can someone tell me where I left my wardrobe~?

Tis very quiet on here - just catching up whilst OH is watching darts. DS3 has just treated us to a chinese which was very yummy xx

I am falling asleep over my computer but it's nice to see some familiar names back here! Am too sleepy to make worthwhile comments, so will just say I hope everyone's all right. Mike, I suppose there was bound to be a bit of a mood slump after all the excitment but I hope you aren't feeling it too much? We are still around, still leaping to the support of people with builder problems and still calling all mice 'Neville' (may his tail never grow shorter).
I think we are stuck for where to go next in the great campaign to eliminate bad building practice. It's surprisingly hard to turn this ship around even if we did manage to throw our weight behind your campaign - and will continue to give you that support because as far as we're concerned, it isn't finished yet.
Someone - not sure who - suggested compulsory credit checks on builders. Would that help at all?
I'm off to feed the rabbits now - after dark! - but hope to hear more from the 'old gang' soon!

It is Miggy, just like having family around to chat to

Think that was Dom on the One show but if it wasn't SB will know the name and post number :rotfl:

I'm still here, lurking and ready to help whenever, wherever I can

I'm busy sending letters to MPs about Ian Tomlinson at the mo. May be able to do something / suggest something in August once I have got through this manic week of de-tiling/tiling/sewing/painting/gardening and generally making the house presentable for tenants.

GUESS WHAT I'M DOING TONIGHT MIKE'S MOB :cool:

Yes I'm putting together flat pack furniture. Really I'm quite tired, I could have done without dropping a tile and denting the bath yesterday (£26 repair kit!) and then the computer desk falling apart today. I could really do with the flat pack queen. No arguements - I'd just sit back and watch.:D

Mike still coming to see you a week on Friday. I'll bring biscuits and coffee, make sure you clean up the marks where you haven't used coasters!

Go Butti!
Sorry to hear the bath got dinted - I never even knew you could get repair its for baths - but even with the outlay for that you have to have saved a fair bit by doing it yourself.

Go Butti!

You don't need the flat pack queen - you can do it all by yourself :T

Have a great time at the beer festival and an even better time at your own personal reveal in Littlehampton

Give Mike a hug from me
