The other place I'd asked was the Carpet shop in the village. They said they would call me when they'd spoken to their fitter - not :-|

If people can't fit a job in or aren't interested, then at least they could phone and let you know. It really annoys me.

Well done the E Europeans finding a niche in the market. Most of the car wash people in the Supermarket carparks aren't British born, and they do work hard. Wonder what would happen if Immigration paid an unannounced visit - lol

That's a long wait, DET. But you are right, people don't seem to want the work nowadays.

Round here there are loads of eastern europeans that have set up car wash operations and they seem to earning a good amount. They are always busy and they work hard, which is something a lot of the UK folk seem to be afraid of nowadays. They want money for nothing.

(waiting for rude reply from LG)

The carpet was lifted and the Sky cable tucked underneath this afternoon - it only took 2 months to arrange someone to actually appear to do it. Don't trades men want the work???

I can find you something to do, LG!!

All done here and feeling very smug with oneself :-D.

Carpet fitter booked for this afternoon, the garden centre is putting one paving slab aside from todays' delivery, dishwasher cleared and the carpet vacced :-D

Mind you, I still haven't made it to the bathroom to change - lol

I've done half the house and just having a quick coffee before tackling the kitchen :-P :-| :-D

Well, it did work sort of. :-)

At least I've made 3 'business' phone calls and written a bill payment letter, so that's something - lol

lol DET you could always come and go like i do do chores in between Morning LG i did the same nearly I have a cat that is sat on my hand and in front of th escreen lol

Whoops scuse my manners, Morning Maz nearly missed you. That just goes to prove my caffeine level is down :-D

No ;-). I am just having my caffeine kick and then I must blitz the house :-\.

If you want to do anything outside, this is the day to do it; Its supposed to be wet the rest of the week. And yes, we have had an overnight frost as well.

Morning all. Trying to turn over a new leaf and drag myself away from the computer by 10am. Do you think it will work???

Morning all
well I am on a late shift today its very cold here again

Evening all. :-D :-D :-D. Well done Dorothy I gave up 9 years ago now just stopped overnight went from 40 - 50 a day to none. :-D :-D :-D

Hi Maz, no snow here. It has been sunny all day but cold!!

YG i always say I am going to downsize lol I have two sheds one is empty now both are rotten and need replacing thta is an aim this year .the ground needs sorting out too so it will be an expensive job but worth it .We have had loads of rain sleet sunshine and snow today it is very cold and I have been in a lazy mood too

Evening everyone.

Good luck with your search, Maz. I hope you find something suitable. My next venture is to buy a new garden shed. Really interesting, NOT :-But it will be a good excuse to have a clear out when the old one goes as I am hoping to down size a little.

I've had a lazy day today, just venturing out to the garden centre to look for a shrub for my neighbour's birthday.

Off to start dinner. Bye for now!! :-) :-)
