Hoped today would be my 3rd NSD but DH sent me to Wixies for some 'bits' & I just 'happened' to look at the wall tiles in there. White 'Bumpy' tiles that we intended to get in a couple of weeks reduced from £14 a box to £3.96. Pity my poor car with 10 boxes spread across the floor & boot! The young girl that served me was so helpful AND she reduced two boxes to a pound each 'cos the top one was broken in each box..... result!! I've got a MS tomorrow so I'll do me a weekly shop then - makes me look incognito! Will try to have at least 1 NS over the weekend.......;)

Yesterday was a 'low-spend day' - just some paracetamols! - but today was NSD #4.

In everyone's life a little rain must fall - seems like it's monsoon season for Bdini!

I would have thought, bearing in mind it's years and years since people used asbestos in buildings, someone would have known before now if there was asbestos present. What about all the changes of owners and the surveys that must have been carried out?

Someone's head has got to roll!

To all the regulars, apologies in advance, as i'm sure you thought you had heard the last of this topic (so did i to be fair!!), but i'm just going to have a little rant.....

Had a phone call today re: rented house (for which incidentally the council has still not paid up any housing benefit )
Apparently the high winds have ripped off the UPVC cladding affixed to the house for insulation purposes, which has taken with it half of the outer layer of the back wall :mad::mad::mad:
Tenant in pieces over damage to the house, me in pieces over the £150 excess on the insurance payable to get it fixed!!!

Oh & that's not to mention the fact that she's been turned down for free loft insulation, as apparently it's full of asbestos :eek::eek: even though it wasn't mentioned in the survey, or by all the various tradesmen that have been in that loft over the years!! There's another £100 gone for a report to (hopefully) prove that's is either a) not asbestos or b) safe to not remove, in order to quell her (somewhat understandable) hysterics
I'm not even thinking about what will happen if the report says it's dangerous & needs removing..... bankruptcy anyone????

Still on the bright side, at least it is number 3 today, every cloud has a silver lining & all that!!

Having a think here, & you've probably done it already but I'll still say it...

Does your household insurance have Legal thingy, to help sort out stuff like this? Surely the structural surveyor/Deeds/previous owner/local authority/someone...had a responsibility to inform you of the presence of asbestos?
I've had a very quick squizz & found THIS but never having encountered the problem myself, I'm not sure it's of any help Raising a glass in full virtual support Dear Friend, along with a hooooooooog dodgy :grouphug:

Got my twisting titfer today (titfer=hat, twisting=trick ) so mark me up for No 3 please oh Keeper of the Updates! (& just wait till I can sort out some soopa-doopa-smilies :cool: )

((hugs)) for BDINI and anyone else in need of one

I've been out repairing 2 fence panels today - one slat nailed back in on one panel that belongs to me, and one slat nailed back in plus half a dozen others nailed back down in a fence panel belonging to a house around the corner (their garden backs onto the side of mine, but 'cos they have trees and shrubs in front of it they don't notice the damage - this is the third time I've been round to hammer nails into that particular panel!!!).

Unfortunately the house between us has lost a panel completely - and I'm waiting for the knock asking me to go halves on replacing it, which I'm not sure what to do about. In the past I would have been happy to do so, but it's going to have to be a special make (the fence line turns 45deg at one end of the panel, so that end has to have all the supporting beams etc cut to fit) which is likely to make it expensive - and although it is my lawn on the other side of it, it's not an issue for my security as it's one of my pieces of front lawn Paying half would also set a precedence for any others that give, and there are another 3 or 4 between us that don't look like they'll last a lot longer due to them having had ivy growing on them for at least 4 years. I don't see why I should pay as much as half for those, though would probably pay a smaller percentage even though these don't impact my security either (in front of the gate on the path down the side of my house).

Anyway, today was a spend day (and a half) for me..... which I knew it was going to be after receiving the emails from A!di and Lid! about the offers that started today earlier in the week.....

8 books (6 exercise, 2 recipe/healthy eating), one salad carrier, one cereal carrier and a tub of salt from A1di in the morning.
3 pieces of fitness equipment and some dried yeast from L1dl
A jar of banoffee hot chocolate powder, a stubby hammer (easier on my hands doing fence panels that the large one I have) and 'assorted nails' from B+M

Then in the afternoon I went back out as I discovered I've no dried milk for my bread maker (didn't get any - too expensive at the local shops, so money put to one side to get from Mr T after I've been to the gym tomorrow), and ended up picking up a Savoy cabbage and a multigrain bread mix (from A!di) and a pack of Whoopsied mini garlic and coriander pitta breads (going to use a couple as pizza bases for tea tomorrow and freeze the rest), a pack of Utt3rly Butt3rly (on half price offer - going to try this instead of butter in a shortbread recipe, as the fat/sat fat levels are better for my chap) and a brisket joint (which is going in my SC tomorrow to then be sliced for sandwich meat using my new slicing machine - will be interesting to see how it compares to buying beef from the deli) from Mr M.
