    Thanks @teapot2 @lucielle @beanielou 😊

    Though have just got a message from builder about radiators. We ordered three radiators. All three arrived damaged. They re-sent them, one was still damaged. They re-sent it, and it's bloody damaged again! And in the meantime their couriers are also sh*t with collections so our builders are grumpy about the now FIVE unusable radiators cluttering up the place, as are we 🙄

    You might as well just order 10 new radiators in the hope that enough undamaged radiators arrive.
