Don't worry, I will clean up your Radio 1 induced ramblings and insults for you.

The workmen have requested radio one at a loud level, and being ever so grateful for my new bathroom, I have obliged.

You could be right with that estimation,I forgot to take into account the herbal tea and organic flapjack breaks.

The plasterer arrived at 8am. I sensed he had not had breakfast, so I offered him scrambled egg on toast.

He declined the egg but had-
toasted home made brioche bread with real organic butter and Sainsburys organic marmalade, accompanied by Yorkshire tea with a splash of organic milk.

poor lad has a bad back and needs pampering

OMG Margaret are you some sort of predator?

MargaretR · 09-03-2010, 14:41

How can you judge a small act of kindness as predatory

Do you always seek a reward for being nice to someone?

I will start putting [joke] [/joke] around my posts so you know when I am joking.

Yes it was a nice thing to do, I will have egg with mine though :P

No work has happened today and with less than 2 hours to the time of 'clock off' it doesn't look like it will. So much for last week's statement - 'it'll be finished by wednesday'. I have no washing facilities in my bathroom - just a lonely temporary fixed loo.

There is one interesting fact I have learned about Hyndburn Homes Repairs - their vehicles are satellite tracked on a map at HQ - four vans have parked here at various times today - so HQ will think that 4 workmen have visited this site today (I have seen four - there may have been more - I haven't sat at the window all day) - when in fact I have had very momentary visits by just two. This is a quiet part of town to park and look busy.

I think that the work organiser maybe is a redundant brewery worker.

Two vans have been parked up here for at least half an hour at the end of this 'working'

day. Neither has been to peep at my 'bathroom' The drivers are eating and reading and clocking up some overtime.

How do you know that they haven't been on an emergency repair?

They may have worked through their lunch time to make something safe and are now grabbing a bite to eat before setting to, to finish the job.

Not everyone has the mindset of an ex Civil Servant, some people actually work(ed) for a living.

For 3 hours today I got a plumber, a plasterer and two electricians and they worked - fast.

I might even have primitive washing facilities by the end of tomorrow
