Rhiw - non payers - aaaaarggggggggggggg. What a hassle, also some right triers on. Jjust can't keep ahead of the scams at the mo, but do find the actual ebay forum very helpful. Some people are beyond greedy - same in real life off the web, but fortunately not all. Seems that folks will do owt to rip you off though.

We had a car prob when I was through at the hospital & we got quoted £1,700 for a re done alternator. We had to take their courtesy car home, Mr Choille went back over next day - 150 mile round trip - in the mean time I'd gone bereserk at their head office & we got a re quote of £150 plus fitting costs of £300 - which was still over the top. The courtesy car ran out of fuel in the middle of bleeding nowhere - our fault the smug plop head on the end of the phone joyfully told me.....................

NOT SURPRISED WE ARE HEOMARAGING MONEY.

iv had slow service to me but not often ,well only recently ! and then i sent the boots back...and THE coat arrived today , supposed to be /says size 12 but it aint...:( its a 10...just ! which means it just fits over a t shirt but no way over anything thicker.. makes me wonder if it is a true brand ?[i have this brand stuff and its true sizing usually ??]
im going to check it out as i cant ask to return it just cos it doesnt fit ...but if its a counterfeit... different story :cool:

mabel is still not happy...:( maybe just the weather ? iv sourced the materials and tomorow is "build another mabel house"...:o

i did an airport pick up this afternoon and hed come down from scotland and was telling me what good weather theyd had...:mad:

IMH and Dave - you OK?

I'm fine, thanks. We were due to make a visit up to Shepton Mallet, so we decided that as today was going to be a write-off weather-wise, we might as well go!;)

The rain was pretty bad, with the minor roads running like rivers this morning, but as we were in the van, deeper pools of water weren't a problem. The M5 was no fun until Taunton, and then it all eased-up. We unloaded and re-loaded in the dry.

Coming back, we even saw sun & blue sky briefly, but then, past Taunton, it closed-in again and became a bit hairy in the gloom. Reached here just after nightfall.

Didn't realise it had been so bad. Ate, then slept ... and I'm just back in the land of the living. :j

PS. Thanks for all the info on the sharks. No frost forecast just yet, but I will assess tomorrow.

Well, my lawn is trashed. Builders parking on it, lorries in on it most days, digger this week, and next week......:eek:

Just as well I don't care about lawns, worst summer to have major works if you did. But it's the ruddy mud. Concrete is not so easy to clean.

We are a bit soggy tonight, but it was too dark to see much. My foundation inspection holes are mostly filled-in now, but the one that's only half done shows the water table near the house is currently still 12" down.

In the polytunnel, there's a bit where water has come up through the floor, but that's happened before and it won't last.

I can hear the rivers clearly tonight. The Taw goes over a weir about 1.5 miles away, and I can hear that more than the smaller river less than half a mile from here. Pete will have been moving animals again.
