morning all i cant sleep much at the moment so its easier being active

Morning ladies~~~

Gosh a real early bird this morning Maz :)
My body clock clicks in at around 6.30, but I don't get up til the 'workers' have gone, but if I'm going out it's a 7.30 start to the day.

Hubby does my head in sometimes, the bathroom is only half tiled and he's now thinking on replacing the kitchen doors, and knocking down the front wall to get dau's car off the road, and make an extra drive, ours will take up to4 car's easily, but it's the switching around if someone at the back wants to go out first.( It's long but will only take cars behind one another)
Logical I suppose, but dau can't reverse onto the drive we already have, and I don't mind switching the cars around !

Drizzly old day today but not as bad as yesterday,Thankfully :)

morning all
I have no start dates but i am having a lot more done so will be a mess for a while the house is well below standard heating wiring etc

Lol Paula ~~

It's sometimes better to go out on a skirt and sandals if it's wet but not too cold, easier to dry your legs and feet than have to wash the socks and trousers :)

Have to wait a week on my phone bill :(
If I don't get the credit back I will be taking it further

Maz ~~
Do you have a start date for your bathroom ?
Ours is the 13th.. but I'm not superstitious.lol

I went out wearing my crocs sandals and my feet got soaked.
Hope you have got sorted over the phone bill $andie. It is ridiculous that they can't see the error they have made.
It was quite windy here too.xx

Morning Ladies~~

Extremely wet and windy here, we'll probably have higher winds to come yet:(

My 2 plastic reclining patio chairs were flung around the patio in the early hours, not sure of the damage yet, probably scratched in all the wrong places. The other 4 are matching but have metal frames so were safely in the shed.The smaller stacking type chairs didn't move, but I went out to weigh those down and put the recliners in a corner with a heavy ceramic pot against them so they wouldn't be further damaged.

I been for a walk in the rain this morning and my fav walking shoes have sprung a leak :(... It's a bin job I'm afraid:(
Have to get my 2nd favs out and re-proofed !

morning all you sound as if you are doing well sandie will all be worth it in the end ,I have been warned to be without a bathroom for about ten days so we will be back to basics .

Hi Ladies~~~

Maz,~~ we haven't bought the shower unit yet, have been buying it all slowly to spread the cost.
Got the tiles on a good offer and hubby's half finished it, but cos it's all being turned around..shower where the toilet is now and toilet / vanity unit where the bath is now,he can't finish off until the plumber takes out the bath and re routes the pipes!
Up to 2 weeks without a shower ,we'll all go mental ! but will manage.
Oh yes probably the light will have to be resited, so the ceiling will have to be redone !....It goes on and on........

Best of luck with yours :))

Paula~~
Hope the children haven't worn you out after the half term :)
I wish we had relatives locally like your friend, I'd kindly vacate the house and give the plumber the keys !.lol
My children have very close friends who live very nearby so they maybe going there for a shower, hubby and I will not be imposing on friends and neighbours, we were brought up with tin baths in front of the open fireplace. We will manage lol. Dau was gob-smacked and horrified !!

its all money when work gets done i am dreading it although i am getting a grant hopefully there will still be decorating to do

Morning ladies~~

Wet and windy here too !

Must get on with my chores , spent most of yesterday phoning around for a 2 panelled arched white door for my airing cupboard, and trying to sort out a £66 bill O2 say I have made in one call !!!!

I'm on contract with them for 18mths with 120 mins free calls a month @ £20 a month but is redeemable every 6 months when you send in your bills so the phone will only cost me £20 for the 18mths
They say I was on the phone for over 6hours to our local Tesco...no I wasn't !!
They say that the call was at 11.09am on 19.10.10, but on further questioning to them they admitted my next call was at 11.10 the same day. So as I explained to the them the £66 call was totally impossible, they can't understand it and have passed it to their engineers for investigation !!..it's not rocket science is it. I still have my pay as you go phone which I used to phone the plumber and am seeking repayment from them for the cost of that call :)
Oh I love it when I can get my teeth into something when I know I am in the right, tho I am not argumentative, hate arguments and bad feelings but I won't be walked over.
Will let you know the outcome .lol

Morning all
wet and windy i have been catching up with chores here just doing the worship list for sunday

Hi all~~~

Well the plumber who came on Sat at 8.30am,has given us quote of £600...cheaper that the guy who originally put in our other suite, which hubby thought was a bit high priced !... and has given us a start date, so fingers crossed and every thing else that can be .lol

Sandie.x

been a nice bright sunny day today though still quite chilly.

Morning all glad you are progressing with the DIY sandie i am hopefully going to be getting some work soon done with a grant

what a miserable wet day.So dark.
Hope all are well.My friend is having a new bathroom suite fitted too $andie.
She is having the bath taken out and a shower cubicle put in.She left the builder/plumber the keys as she has been to her daughters in Cheshire for the week but he still isn't finished and she said this morning there is no door on.Not that thats a problem really as she lives alone lol.
Hope you have had a good time visiting your mum Maz.
Sorry to hear you are having problems Rose and sincerely hope things are looking up now xxx

Morning all~~

Hope you had a nice break Maz and that your mother is well :)

morning all

quick look in to say hello

Hi all~~

Hi Rose don't think we've spoken
Sorry to hear you have some family probs.. been there, whatever they are I wish you well.
Don't leave it so long next time:)

Crossed wires with the plumber, on their behalf, for 4pm, he didn't come and I didn't like his mothers attitude on the phone when I asked at 5pm if he was still coming. Didn't tell hubby I had a funny feeling about her, not to cloud his judgement.
Other plumber arrived this morning at 8.33am, had a long chat with hubby about what we wanted doing, seemed keen and ideas on how he would do it, I don't care what the price is now I just want it done !!
