Good luck in Asda. I've only been into the Old Kent Road one but never again. It may be cheaper but it's also slooooooowwwweeeerrrr than any store i've ever experienced. I find Tesco much the same. Though I do find Lidl a strangely odd but pleasurable experience, what with it's cardboard boxes and the likes. Still, horses for courses. Nette:)

She's pretty & she has a pretty mouth when "talking italian" I agree though with like *Bobs* I think the whole d.n.a case stinks of typical italian bureaucratic laxity. I bet she's a right go-er though. Have I covered all bases here? Nette:-S

What the heck is the massive blue bin for.

It's reflective of the desperate situation that the youth of today & conversely the ageing wannabes find them selves in. Desperation and fear reads large in the eyes of the contestants. " I don't wanna go back to where I've come from " ( the biscuit factory, care home, my old life ) " I want new teeth/exploiting/obscurity " " I wanna be anything but nothing " Which is why I'm compelled to observe this exercise from N-Z (nadir to zenith) Nette:)

I agree with Mr Ben. His upbeat positivity is infectious & if you can, then I'd say go for it. There are a few key suppliers that make buying stuff like taps & white goods way simpler, pm me if you like & i'll forward the contacts. Theres also a couple of free trade magazines that are worth getting Like Designer and one kitchen & bathroom mag too. The american magazine Dwell is great. Architectural Digest is good & strangely not about architecture but interiors. Nette:)

Any tips on stopping foxs going in my garden?
Annette Curtain replied to susierose's topic in The Lounge
Leave your back door open & they'll come indoors, thus avoiding the garden. Nette:-S -

A "counter punch" as in George "the grill" Foreman knocked out Joe Frazier with a counter-punch? Blimey, who's she employing? a builder or a pugilist. Nette:-S -

The 176 bus yesterday Taxi drivers using mobile phones to text whilst driving. Erm & nothing wrong with up-cycling, if you take a piece of junk and revive it or make it better, that is. *Tisk* -
Silly silly game. * tutts * Nette:)

I work in the business. It's lovely going through the "I like that" stage, choosing, dreaming & ordering. The real & gritty bit is the regulations. Where do you want the water mains coming in, the RCD circuit board located, the intumescent paints and finishes. Why L.e.d not L.v. biomass or high pressure systems. Even double or quadruple argon filled sealed units, aluminium or Iroko bi-fold of tri-fold. Architect or building control? If you want the respect professionally from the trades that matter, the ones that get things done, then you'll need to up your game, know your stuff. I'm on a "money's no object" site at the moment. (15k or there about for handmade tiles anyone?) A job run by professionals with years of experience but 6+ weeks behind the schedule and at least 20 trades on site at any one time. It is being driven relentlessly & quite frankly it's hard frikkin work for everyone trying to achieve a job of the right quality. Each day throws a curved and often costly curved ball. Yesterday the glass arrived x 30 pieces of toughened = ?600. Each piece has distorted in the process by 10mm. So do we force it to fit an engineered metal frame with a 3mm tolerance or do we send it back and suffer a cost penalty for overrunning ? I could go on, i've got 27 years worth of what's happened stories. Oh my & before I forget, the adult tantrums are legendary. I've seen lawyers & meltdowns in equal measure BUT that given, I strangely love the business. The end result is amazing at times & the path to it is often one of near biblical stoniness. In fact I wouldn't change it for the world. However, I do wish you good luck. You'll need it ( in buckets ). Nette:-S
