yes!!! i took Fly Away's idea of asking him the questions verbally and writing it down myself.

it worked. just need to write it up properly and copy loads of stuff and get his passport.

the lounge?

the ammount of times i have stood in thehouse waiting for a bloody plasterer that is supposed to be a mate.....after he had done work for them......for free......

i've given up.

the last straw was when he had a mate fit in this kitchen......no kickboards, cupboard under sink is at an angle, "no it is isnt...yes it bloody well is" they must think i'm stupid as i dont work with the dodgey gits everyday and one of the cupboards on the wall has gone at an angle as he hasnt even fastened it to the wall on one entire side.

then, we had to wait for a mate of his who was a plumber. one f-ing week with no water, 2 kids and no cooker. my kids dont eat take away!:curse:

did the git turn up? if he had he would have the copper pipe wrapped around his sodding neck

that is why i refuse to have his "MATES" round. i thought the council were bad!:eek:
