    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:
    Why did you have to borrow your neighbour's wardrobe?

    Don't you have a wardrobe of your own?

    I think the real question here is what did you do with all the clothes that were inside? Before I can answer whether you should replace it I need to known MMC, Make, Model, Colour impossible to give and answer otherwise. A Ikea wardrobe, well they're ten a penny, but a classic MDF MFI 1980s in gloss black and you don't see many of those babies around anymore, you could easily get £5 or £6 at a good car boot for it.

    Obviously half term somewhere.:whistle:
    Yes, it's half term where I live. My own teenagers aren't the culprit, they've been out with me. :D

    It seems you live in a very downmarket neighbourhood where you can't even afford your own wardrobe. I'm really sorry for your dilemma.
    But look on the bright side, if you live where I live where we have walk in wardrobes stuffed with designer gear (no fake Uggs here) I wouldn't have one to lend you although perhaps my housekeeper or my nanny could have helped out keeping an eye on the builders.
  • I think you have a good case to claim compensation from the builders to replace the wardrobe for your neighbours.
    After all if it wasn't for them you wouldn't have needed to borrow it in the first place.... :p

    Yes buy the neighbours a new wardrobe. I can't wait for when you have the decorators in. Did you cut spyholes in it?

    Will someone PM me when the Sequel appears please?
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
