Over half a million auctions at last!!!!

No Pam they havent, we now find the door is quite hard to close and near impossible to open, it looks like the hinge had been strained so if you go in the room you could be trapped in there, the fan they have put in they have put on the wall facing the back beach where all the wind some from and if you go in the room you will get a face lift the loo roll and handle in the toilet are in the wrong place, the door wont open wide enough, mike had had to take the handle off and we now have 6 huge holes in the tiles, i am very disappointed with it and the mess created and we are left in two days before Christmas, we cant even let the blind down in the loo as they have put tiles on the inside of the window. I know i should be grateful but it really is in a bit of a state at the moment and it is a little upsetting at this time of year, so I am having a moan, my new stair carpet it full of plaster dust that will not come out, i feel like having a good cry, it can all be fixed but it's just a barren wasteland at the moment and they are all off now till first week in jan, don't want to feel ungrateful but>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Buttons, I can quite understand you. Living with workmen's unfinished / botched projects is not fun. It doesn't matter who their contractor is - you, the state or HM E II. They should be doing a good job
Right, I am off to get OH out of bed. I need help to get the sitting room tidied. Tea and coffee are ready and waiting

Morning - my ear is still blocked and my hearing is still very reduced To listen to the radio, the volume is usually on level 10; at the moment it is anything between level 30-46. Just hope I'm not bothering the neighbours.

With luck, I won't have to go anywhere today as himself came home last night with a load of supplies that should see us through next week. It's going to be a strange sort of day...........

Time for another mug of tea.

Buttons I no its hard but you will have to close your eyes & not look I assume someone will come & check the work. Sounds as though they are cowboys doing the work & don't seem to take a pride.

Meebo hope you manged to get OH up. think they all like there beds at the moment.

Sgt have done another 500 of Somers relists.


Redkite thank you for your good wish we hope you have a good Christmas & New Year.

A merry Christmas to you too Private Kite. Well done on the listing Private Moon.
Glad you are getting O/H to help you Private Meebo.

My commiserations Private Buttons. I know just how you feel, I remember the trauma when we had the garage conversion done for the Old Soldier and things went wrong.

Poor Private Mcc2, don't tell me I have to SHOUT AT YOU ALL DAY !



The meal went well last night. Just the Christmas eve party to attend this evening the only trouble is it's down all the Bath hills and don't know if my sprained ankle will hold out walking back up. The taxi people charge double on Christmas Eve and I know O/H won't want to blow the cobwebs off his wallet !

I feel for you sarge i remember walking from the RC that night i almost needed gas and air when we finally got back to where the coaches were parked.
Thanks for the commiserations on the state we are in I am that worn out that I only got out of bed at just gone 12 noon and i am still shattered, i was going to get this firm to change our bathroom suit up stairs but am beginning to think i don't care if the toilet takes 4 or 5 yanks at the handle to make it flush, or the sink leaks or the metal bath is chipped and it's turquoise and not a white suite, after seeing this i love my out of date coloured bathroom suite with all it's little faults, I don't want it all white and clinical and cold looking. I think Mike is going to venture out later as we could not go out yesterday because of the wind, they even had to close one of the main streets because it was blowing bits off the scaffolding round the town hall and they thought it was going to collapse. the turkey crown is in the sink defrosting and tonights tea is left over from last nights slow cooker meal so will be thrown in the wok and some soya sauce and peas added to make it into a fried rice and i will make some garlic bread to go with it.
