    Kinda of my thinking but as I'm getting text messages (and trying to sort it out anyway just not easy when it's Christmas and new year and people Are busy)

    I've been keeping them in th loop to say I was trying to sort it and did say it was more likely to be end of Jan time so it's not as if I'm ignoring them but I'm not prepared to pay loads for a skip which wouldn't be even nearly filled!!!



    To be fair to them, it's been over about 4 weeks.


    They could be thinking you couldn't be bothered to dispose of it and expect someone else too, hence the delay.


    Too late now, but for future reference, maybe best to arrange if they want it to stay or gone.

    Hiring a small van (can be doen by the hour) would be cheaper than letting them provide, and possibly make a profit on, a skip.

    For next time: You should have included it in the fixtures & fittings form, as we did. Then it forms part of the contract and they can't complain about it afterwards.

    I have a smart car and could easily fit all that in. You can pile stuff on top of each other if you pull the hood bit up, and down the back of the seats, on the passenger seat/footwell. I'm pretty sure the passenger seat folds down too.


    I bet you find there's loads in the shed, not just the stuff you know about.

    It's not necessarily ungrateful

    What if you hated the laminate and planned on ripping it up at the best opportunity. Would you want a shed full of spare laminate that you hate?

    Who said anything about a shed load? The OP clearly said 1 pack!!

    op doesn't know what's in the shed.

    To be honest I didn't check the shed as that was what my ex was sorting when we sold. In hindsight I should have done.

    Ridiculous

    I had a smart car and one day I got a sack of layers pellets (25kg) a sack of corn (20kg) two chicken feeders, a tin of pain plus a bag of shopping

    A pack of laminate and a few tins easy peasy


    Also drove London to NI in one with it packed to the hilt, even pot plants in the spare tyre space
