    We are being chased by the plumber (our s-i-l) so he knows what drainage is needed and on what wall. We have to make a choice by the end of the month.

    Been to loads of tile places, one of them was Tile Giant. Have fallen in love with some which are just over £34 sqm but googled the sku and found them here for £10 a sqm less ;)

    http://www.tilemagic.co.uk/tiles.html

    May buy a sample from Tile Giant but order from Tilemagic, would save the drive :)

    OH has the first fix water/drainage in, but he needs to get the brown water to the toilets (but we still have not got bathroom fittings... well I tell a lie he bought a huge/massive resin shower tray for £20... :T:T:T
    and we have British white porcelain loos....about 30 of them from a job lot!

    Which tiles are you getting?
    Holy Carp!! Just entered my daily limit of 5 entries and won 4 out of the 5 :j. Must be karma LOL.
    Wonder how many of the 4 will give me another pack?

    I don't know anything.... BH you need to post an update each week of all the offers... :T:T:T

    TM, I've just relayed your car door getting knocked to DH. He said now you have her reg no you can report it to your insurance company and they will claim off hers. If you were in the the car when it happened you are a witness.

    If it came to it and it went to a civil court, by the balance of probability you would win.

    Evening all!

    TM, just wanted to add to the above that I'm sure there would be CCTV if you needed any more proof. I would claim, people like that need to know they can't just go through life and get away with everything, leaving the honest folk to pick up the tab.

    Plus, from an MSE perspective, why should you pay out to have it fixed, or suffer the consequential devaluation of your car when it's her responsibility to pay for it? You spent time on your parking ticket to avoid paying out, so this is similar in my mind.

    Are you going to give each loo its own room? Or will it be a communal thing, like they have in nightclubs these days? :eek:

    Happy Friday Llovelies :)

    We had an amazing day yesterday in Glandyfi Castle :T

    If anyone is thinking of a B&B stay on an estuary in mid Wales. This is the perfect place.
    Just around corner from Borth/Aberystwyth for Hinterland fans.
    The castle is set up on the hillside with outstanding views across the Dovey Estuary.
    The rooms are all exquisitely decorated with equally divine en suites.

    That looks an amazing place Snap, somewhere I'd like to stay. Did it have a lift or any ground floor rooms as I am struggling more and more with stairs? You know, the only time I have stayed in Wales was an overnight B&B in Fishguard before ferry to Ireland - and we had to be at ferry in early hours so it wasn't even a full night's stay :rotfl:

    I had an incident today in an A car park :o

    I had just pulled into a space and a lady pulled up next to me. She opened her car door and clashed it into my passenger side door. I was just checking my phone so wasn't looking up and it made such a bang that I jumped out of my skin.

    I got out of the car to find my door badly scratched and dented:o

    She then she denied it was her:eek:
    I asked her to open her door carefully towards mine and it matched the scratch exactly. But she was having none of it. "There's nothing there she said" and toddled off into A. I sat fuming in the car until she came back.
    I told her that I had taken her number and would contact my insurance company (I'm not but wasn't going to tell her that)

    " Do what you want" she said. She went on to say that hers was always getting knocked in car parks and anyway she used to work in a supermarket and nobody's to blame for any accidents in supermarket car parks:wall::wall:

    You couldn't make it up:o

    You know that feeling when the penny drops and you realise that you aren't going to get anywhere with someone:o

    I only wanted an apology :o

    It left me in a bad mood for hours:o

    TM this happened to me yesterday not any old car park but an M&S car park No damage through Lady said the wind caught the door Nothing to do with the fact she had left a gap of about 6 inches to squeeze out of

    Off to catch up

    TM, just be grateful you don't live in Rome.

    When we were sitting outside at cafes there it was not unusual to hear a "crunch". The Italians believe in parking in the space they want, even if it involves, albeit gently, bumping into the bumper of the car to the rear and to the front :eek: This does not seem to be defined as an accident, they just get out and carry on with their day!

    Personally I would report the rude idiot, or she will just keep on doing the same thing to others too.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    I thought it must be, the fool :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I've google that place Snap and it is amazing. Certainly not MSE but does have a ground floor room for disabled guests. Now, could I persuade my friends to go ;)
