When we had our kitchen renovated we sourced our own plumber and electrician. The plumber recommended a friend of a friend who was an unemployed electrician. That should've concerned us but as we know the plumber well we decided to go with it. The fellow turned up with no equipment, had obviously been drinking and asked for money straight away. He settled for some money to buy some stuff he needed and then disappeared for the rest of the day. As the kitchen people were waiting for him he turned up swaying and asked OH for his ladder. At that point OH asked him to leave. We never saw him or the money again although he did leave some stuff he had spent a minimum of money on. The plumber was mortified and the kitchen was delayed by a day because we had to hunt down another electrician. |

I think it is the Aussie Wine I am drinking Diane which is responsible for all the typos. It must be off, maybe I should have some more just to check it out |

No Diane I haven't finished sanding, got lots to do. I'm hoping to persuade the Duchess to go out for the day tomorrow as we won't get such lovely weather very often now will we. I fancy a trip to Newtown or Welshpool. |

You have been frivolous Linda. Although wine should not be thought of as frivilous - more a necessity:-)) Tec's not too pleased with you Linda so we may have to have a little chat. |

Is there anything interesting at Welshpool and Newtown, Tec? |

Powys Castle is near Welshpool Sue, but the Duchess isn't into castles , so Newtown is a better idea - I like the shops there which are in rather a small area that would suit OH better as she wears out quickly these days. |

It sounds like a lovely day out, Tec - hope the weather stays nice. The lure of the shops may do it - especially with all your money. The Duchess could have a field day:-)) |

It also makes you make lots of typing mistakes Sue, so I have just been and made coffee instead. |

With some phones you can send texts to land lines Tec. When you answer, a robot voice reads it out, or sometimes Dr Who reads it out to you. That is true by the way, not some wine fuelled fantasy |
