Same kind of thing with the skip I got on Saturday morning. They turned up pronto to get their mitts on my £140. When I rang them this morning to tell them it was ready to collect, they said they'd do it when they had another drop in the area. Meanwhile, I've got nowhere to park without upsetting one of the neighbours.
Eating my words here. The skip was picked two hours after I rang  :y

Well....it all kicked off here last night. We had a request from our buyers to come today at 11.30am with a builder to plan alterations. Anyway, as I said, last night it kicked off...the bath hot water feed pipe let go, and sent water down through the dining room ceiling and walls. Drained the tank out and stopped the flow. Put heaters on, and by 6.00am today, it had just left stains across the ceiling and down the walls. So off to B & Q at 7.00am for some Zinsser B.I.N sealer. Dries in 15 minutes that stuff, so a couple of coats on. Then 9.30am Emulsion the ceiling and walls. Put the buyers off until 1.30pm. Mate came and renewed the bath pipework. 12.15, tested all ok, put the bath panel ad bits back, finishes 12.45.
I am going to shout this but I AIN'T MOVING ANY EFFIN' MORE. FULL STOP!!!!!!!! >:(

I,ve lived in this house for the last 32 years and still remember the hassle i had with the penny pinching bugger who, finally, bought my old one. He wanted everything left then stalled as long as he possibly could as he was living virtually rent free in his then house. His wife and daughter finally marched him to the solicitors to exchange contracts. ;D. Met her about three years ago and asked how the family were and she said fine except that hubby died about ten years ago. Whoops, but i did think what goes round etc. :-X. So, intend to stay here till they carry me out. ;D

Yep, lucky the weather is like it is, otherwise it'd have taken a fortnight to dry!

Well done Tony!  :y

Your ticker is obviously in good shape as the stress of that would have finished off many of the old boys on here!  :-X  ;D

Thinking on....  ::)

With Uncle STEMO walking the whippet daily and Lord Opti chasing the maids all over Opti Towers, I'm sure a bit of mutual moshing is well within their capabilities!  :)

It's their mental health we should be worried about!  ::)  :P  ;D

Wondering if it's a euphemism.  :-\
