:laugh::laugh: they have gone now, but they were nothing like those pics :blush: and they didn't make me splutter,lol but they were nice enough and yes they did get a cuppa , :wavey:

Well this is as awkward as finding a plumber in your draws.

We could get it to work Cherie but we had to keep switching it off then back on, it only happened a few days ago when the weather got really cold,seems there was a problem with some pipe aswell, I can bleed the radiators though :laugh:

Kaz walks in with size 10, grunts, you put the kettle on little lady and il do me bleeding.

I pride myself on being a people person, so I can get on fine with anyone!

I hope that's my dress size sheriff and not my feet !! :laugh:

Either would be impressive.

* Mark sees the 2 plumbers approaching the drive and quickly changes from This Morning to Sky SPorts news and puts his copy of Take a Break under a cushion and brings out a copy of What Car he stole from the dentists on the coffee table.

"Aye cum in lads, am jist up - i wiz ott for a sesh last night and my heeds nippin (reality he put on a facepack and had a bath with candles listening to Enya).

Aye the bogs up the stair ahd gee it a minute as av just laid a cable if ye get me. Did ye see the geme last nicht - ah thot thon goalie iwiz offside, did yoo no?"

"oh look st that burd on sky id split that in half, hahahahah"

The 2 plumbers make their excuses and go to work upstairs, exchanging glances with each other while Marc opens a red bull and necks it in one.


man of the people right enough :joker:

you either have a leak or the boiler header tank needs to be replaced ... that happened here no so long ago :laugh:


I'm naturally nosey, so I like to know exactly what tradesmen are doing and nod sagely at appropriate moments even if i havent got a blinking clue what they are on about.

I tend to offer them a cuppa and then leave them to it.

Yes,he did say there was a leak also,you know your stuff Bots.:wavey:

Sorry sheriff feet size 5 and dress size 14 :wavey:

Hubby hovers...likes to see what’s what.
Our plumber always pops his head in the room roon to have a chat with me, same plumber for years.
Delivery drivers are the same, pop the stuff in the porch and give me a shout, well most of them do.
Cups of tea and biscuits are always on the go for all.

Il take it! 😂

You are sooooo lucky that must save you £1000s!! :)

I am polite and make tea and prey they don't rip me off because I know nothing.

haha yeah, he's pretty handy to have around. He built our house too :lovedup:

That's amazing, what a guy, girl done good ;)

MR C is the same, extension and , loft conversion on this house all done by himself as well as his day job

previous houses, have either been gutted and/or had extensions added

we are done now I think

:love:

Gav is getting itchy for a new project so we'll see but I don't want to move house

:love:

Its like an addiction, I have said never again and I mean it :fist:

He did renovate our sons flat in Norwich so that has kept him out of mischief

The TL has her dead mums money burning a hole in her pocket and is doing the boiler, the floors the bathroom and kitchen - its exhausting and its me who has to do all the legwork, the house at mo is like a bomb went off - we have a hot water tank in the front garden and all the coats and shoes in the living room and huge hole in the kitchen wall

i cant cope

:worry:

Since he's been working in a less "hands on" type job, he's starting to go a bit stir crazy

And sharp up knives in the dishwasher. Does she have you insured?

I feel your pain :laugh:
