Should i replace my neighbours wardrobe?

Last week during half term i borrowed my neighbours wardrobe to put in my living room so i could hide in it and spy on the builders in my house to make sure they weren't dragging the job out to cost me more money :mad:

It became a bit cramped in there and i knocked the side panel off when stretching. The panel has been glued and screwed back together like new but they did comment on the wardrobe looking a bit wonky.

As i've fixed it i dont really see the need to replace the whole wardrobe. WWYD?

    I'd write the full adventure novel and offer it for publication rather than offering it to just the small audience you'll find on here :D

    You would be shocked at what builders get up to when they think nobody is home :mad:

    I could call the book. The builders, the living room and the wardrobe?

    I was expecting 'I jumped off the top of it during some extra-marital and my foot went through it'

    When are the kids back to school :rotfl:
  • I'm afraid you've been very foolish in how you've dealt with this whole situation. Why did you think it was a good idea to hide in your living room and spy on your workmen?
    You should have crawled in to the airing cupboard instead so you could keep an eye on them in the bathroom in case they did anything unsavoury to your toothbrush.

    You don't seem to have a lot of luck with furniture, do you? :D

    LOL.

    I have a wardrobe you can borrow anytime. The excitement of this subterfuge is hilarious.

    Wouldn't a spy camera have been easier?

    glued, screwed and wonky

    How you'd have been if the builders had discovered you spying on them... :rotfl:
  • Well I have a suspicion that someone's letting the tyres down on the bikes in our communal bike shed. Maybe I should put a wardrobe in there, hop in it and spy on the culprits.
