Have some Hope & Greenwood Easter eggs that I'd bought for my nieces and I've now been blown out.


Rather than let them go to waste, I thought I'd give them to the children's ward at the hospital and, while I know it's not that far away, I am quite lazy, so wondered if anyone else was heading in that direction and would consider taking them?


Know this should really be in the Wanted section but figured people would see it quicker here, and as time is of the essence...

Gosh. Well, that's one way of looking at it.


As distinct from - for example - just chucking unwanted stuff in the bin?


I'd agree there's a scale of things, let's say


- 1) funding new wing of King's

- 2) buying ?100/worth of eggs - especially if it's a brand you really, really like yourself, for extra sacrifice points - and walking them through the snow to King's. From Edinburgh.

- 3) pausing for a minute to think - hey, I don't want these rather nice eggs, but I wonder whether some kids might.

- 4) just chucking unwanted stuff in the bin.


I'd say normal selfish human behaviour is more 4) and RosieH did a nice thing. Living in a glass house, as I do, I prefer not to throw stones at others. You?

    • 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!
