    I hope you can shift some of the surplus, what a pain and an extra job you don’t need 😞

    When I worked in construction it as fairly routine for us to work interchangeably in both forms of measurement - some things are simply more straightforward in inches but also there are times when only mm give you the level of precision needed!

    Appalling that the builders who presumably know how tight the budget is have overordered PiP - they really are a shower of the proverbial aren't they.

    Have just gone mad and ordered myself a pair of trainers with cushioned soles, happily can make up the amount using up all the leftover birthday money and 'leftover' month's money, as long as I'm frugal for the rest of the month, which shouldn't be too hard as work hours don't leave much spending time!

    You deserve something for yourself after all the stress and throwing every penny at the build.
