Oh that really made me laugh. Might have to adopt that for this place too.

At least there’s something amusing in the midst of all the build stress.
Well I can’t believe you didn’t win the lottery, that’s just not fair 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
If we had enough money spare @redofromstart we would get BiL & SiL- and tbh mostly us- one of those cutesy home-is-where-the-heart-is style framed embroideries with 'and a fox did a sh*t on it' stitched
The lottery needs to buck its ideas up @Sun_Addict, there's only so many chances I'm willing to give and then it'll be sorry! 👀😂

Ahahahaha Thames didn't show up today to complete the water connections which they'd already not done in the timeframe they'd given, and are now saying they won't be allowed another permit from the council to complete the work. It's only a legal obligation for them to provide water to a pre-existing house, not ours. So now it looks like the whole build has been a waste of time and money because we can't get water to survive. We have paid Thames fourteen thousand pounds. And are hundreds of thousands of pounds in debt overall from this build. Ahahahahahahaha.

Thames are blaming the council for their failings @KajiKita, council understandably do not see how this is their problem but couldn't care less whether we get our homes or not
