    :o I very rarely have showers - but needs must earlier :o

    We have a shower room downstairs & barely use it...

    It was divine, until I got out of cubicle & noticed all the ceiling cob webs :o:o:o

    Talking of showers. We have potential buyers for Mr & Mrs Fourp's house. But they want to offer £10,000 less as it only has a shower & no bath. The bathroom is beautifully tiled from floor to ceiling. The shower is a special sauna/shower.
    Plus they say they would have to replace the kitchen ???
    Kitchen is immaculate, alright not to everyone's taste but good condition & quality.

    Oh I'll offer you £10,000 less as you don't have a giraffe in the garden :p

    :mad::mad::mad:

    Tell them you've already knocked £10k off to account for that. :D

    I once got offered 15k less because they ''wanted to put a room in the attic and it would be an expensive job'' .... so I said that was a lovely idea but why should I have to pay for it?

    That is so funny:rotfl::rotfl:. Especially because it is so huge and, therefore, so "nasty". Except that's it's not, as such an "insult" (which, therefore isn't one:T) is just so ridiculous as to be incapable of being taken seriously.

    Thanks bubbs, therefore, for your gravely "inappropriate" post (which therefore isn't).

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    EDIT: Subjectively ridiculous on this occasion, never mind objective:rotfl::T:T.

    Refuse their offer snap, stand firm

    :D Oh yes. Told them if they want a bath - to buy a house with a bl00dy bath in it - cheeky monkeys. We are fortunate that we aren't in a hurry to sell ;)

    I washed my hair & have just left it, knots, tangles, no conditioner. Head full of straw :o:o:o

    Sort of alright. Felt a bit off - a very tiny ache for a very short moment indeed - but now with tears in my eyes from laughing at bubb's post:T:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Oh it's not "lovely" at all - I'm going on about things, that are irrelevant again (I suppose they are not though if they affect me?:think:) like I always do:rotfl:.
