Hiya Skint
Hope your chimney s are down okay. Give us an update ...... !

Yes Sanch..... the chimneys are gone ! :j
It took 4 of them 6 hours on Saturday to get them down below the roof line and tile over. The bricks were crumbling as they took them down so its a wonder they hadn't fallen down! We had torrential rain yesterday so it was a good test of their work and its all dry and watertight up there
They are coming back today to do my soffit and next door having their guttering done, so once they've finished my bank account will be £400 lighter
but at least its done and not as much as originally feared!! 0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Sound like a result Skint. And 400 is certainly a lot better than what you were originally quoted.
How did DS get on with his career choices? Did he opt for being a Special?
Wonder how WW is getting on .... Miss her enthusiasm for household duties and cleaning! I could certainly do with some inspiration in that department at the moment

He turned down the interview for PCSO and is still doing his IT job, waiting for the recruitment to open for specials so he can apply
