    Mum just phoned to say she has ordered a kitchen from a guy out of the paper. £100 deposit on Friday. Thing is the name rang a bell "Martin Sersen" - 10 minutes on Google and OMG!!!! Scam, Watchdog the full whammy.

    These guys wanted cash on delivery!!!! For a kitchen in boxes - not on my shift matey!!!!!

    So Mum is off to bank in the morning to try and stop the cheque - hope she can. I'm thinking that it could at the earliest have been presented this morning so I hope she is in time.

    Now to speak nicely to someone with a Trade Account and price up another kitchen for her.

    If she knows a joiner or someone good at DIY then I would recommend looking on ebay. We picked one up for £500 4 years ago including oven, hob, dishwasher and sink. It needed a bit of alteration to get to fit but had come from a large kitchen so there were more units than we needed. It was also much better quality than the ones on sale in B & Q.

    Now I have a mug of coffee and a message from MrF to sort through to finish- something for a Tag Cloud - so back later.

    How long did it take you? The tag cloud that is? It took me 47 minutes and a lot of ranting - not competitive at all, me:rotfl:.

    On a more serious note, did he tell you that if you don't understand the instructions to the tool - it is not your fault. Make a note and it shall be explianed - both to you and changed in the instructions.

    Have a very productive day, all and I will keep off till lunch time (at least 'try' since neither Yoda nor Nordern Lass seem to be around).

    If I wasn't so MSE I would go and get a frame and put it on my wall - instead I shall laminate and use as a divider in my MFi3 ideas folder.

    Off to tackle a long list - back later
