Thanks guys.

...hello?

Hi all, we're due to register our newborn on Wednesday and we have a question regarding her surname. I'm the father and am currently changing my surname, the idea being that I've never liked mine and didnt want to saddle our sprog with a shit last name. I just wanted to know what the legalities of doing this are? Can I simply show up on Wednesday and give the registrar my newly assumed surname to apply to my child and once its down on the birth certificate is that legally binding? Any advice and info gratefully received. M.

...for a flat removal on the morning of friday 20th March. We're leaving most of the furniture behind so it wont be a back-breaker and I'll only need one man as I'll be coming along for the ride and helping shift stuff. We're moving from Hackney to Hitchin in Herts so if theres anyone out there who want to earn a few quid PM me. Regards, Mike.

Yeah, I'm still looking for someone to come and refit my bathroom. Reliable workmen seem in drasticly short supply. I'm in Hackney and our local forum is rubbish hence using my old haunts forum instead. Any recommendations would be most welcome.

Is there a phone number for this company? Really need our bathroom sorted and decent builders are hard to come by.

We're a little further afield David but theres a good weeks work here(Hackney)I reckon. I've sent you an email with brief details and if you're interested I can send you pictures and damp surveyors report. M.

...egg fried rice freezes perfectly well also.

Yep sorry op, really cant see where you're going with this one. All perfectly reasonable in my opinion.

...bugger, that email address doesnt work.

Thanks Pickle, we're looking for both roofers and renderers at the moment and its not easy getting people around to quote. Do you happen to know anyone decent who would undertake interior work(bathroom, kitchen etc?). Kind regards and hope the family are well, Mike.

Thanks Scotslass. I'll check him out.

If anyone can recommend a reliable, honest bathroom fitter I'd be very much obliged. We've had a few ruins with cowboys in the past so would welcome being pointed in the right direction regarding a decent company. We need walls and floor retiling, a new shower fitted along with shower screen, side of the bath panneled, ceiling painted, extraction unit fitted and a few other bits. Its not a huge room, maybe 5'x7'. Work to be started asap. Kind regards, Mike.

Hmm, about the same fevered response I got on MyBuilder.com maybe I need a bath...oh, hang on I cant as its one of the reasons I'm so in need of help.

Thanks for the recommendation Jenny.
