Ordered 13x oak pre finished, internal doors from Howdens, only took four calls for them to get it right... After my sister (whose account I'm using) told me not to order them online as they always fuck it up.
Just need to pick some ironwork and get the chippy booked, be fucked if I'm going to try hanging them when. 'wood goon' can do a better job for £40 a door.
Only 13? We need 33 for our place, the chippy is rubbing his hands together and looking at new Mercs
Wait till they deliver 13x doors, 5 of them the wrong size. It happens, DAMHIK.
Edit. and one of the 'good' ones will be scratched to buggery.

Done my back in. In extreme pain when I move, so I’m not!! Ibuprofen for dinner I think. Fitted a motor mover to the caravan and felt something when I picked up my toolbox, so probably should have stopped but I didn’t, so self inflicted.

Google 'Yoga Cat and Cow'. It's good for the back.
That and hot and cold treatment. Works for me and I've got the sort of back that Quasimodo would wince at.
Discovered what appeared to be some bint living in her (absolutely beat to shit) Dodge SUV parked in front of the house. The fact that she was in the middle of the road at least 6ft from the curb was somewhat concerning...
Had to drive around her to get out of the driveway, still there when I got home 20 minutes later.
The Dibble were duly called for a welfare check & she buggered off pronto.
Sod all. Enjoying the time off doing sod all. Tesco first thing. Bounced around with the dogs in the garden for a while then took them to the park at lunchtime. More sod all then a walk to Aldi later in the afternoon. More sod all and now 99% sod all and 1% typing this shit
Had a call from the letting agent that manages our BTL property - heating boiler gone kaput and not repairable.
£2400 gone in a blink - ho hum, one of those things.....
Wifey a couple of hours ago cleaning the ash from the log burner "there's still embers in here from last night". No problem we have a metal bucket for those, she says she'll get it as I was doing something else. Did she fuck, she put it in a plastic bag which she then put next to the fire inside the luckily metal bin that's got kindling and assorted fire lighting stuff in it. We then went out for a walk. I'm a bit deaf, she could here the smoke alarms going several hundred yards away from the house. Luckily the contents of the bin hadn't caught alight, it was pretty close though. We're now sitting outside with all the doors and windows open and every fan we own blowing out of the house.

Went for a run, came back, made a late breakfast and whilst I was eating it I suddenly got a weird flickering in my left eye and lost my peripheral vision out of it for about 20 minutes. It's back now, but it was a bit odd and a bit worrying.
