Sounds promising. If you're feeling thrifty (and short on time), you can buy your 'ingredients' from the one-stop shop, use their heat-up-a-burger microwave, and you should be steamin' by the time you've entered your pin number..

Blimey I oh !


Quick stock take chez Curtain:


Manzanilla (open, but full-ish)


Sainsbo's Amarillo Sherry


1.5lt of Lambrusco Red wine (unopened-gift from the 12-step AA lady down the road)


Various Ciders


In the freezer i've stashed a chunk of belly pork & a load of proper sausages.



I'm well happy now !

Finished the last of the Christmas cake and the sweet sherry a few days back.


None of the chocolates etc lasted much beyond Christmas week :))


Stella went long ago, as did all the leftover white wine,fizzy wine, rum and brandy.


Still got a bottle of dry sherry, ginger wine, several bottles of red and a bottle of gin.


Oh, and about a stone of unwanted flab :))

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
