Imagine my excitement when I discovered that today the Mail on Sunday was printing an exclusive extract of the latest Dan Brown novel.


How to gauge its value and measure its worth against the free Smiths DVD given away by the Indie?


I found myself in quite the pickle - which, oh which to buy?

Yeah quids, what are you on about - OFM today, with extracts from the new Nigel Slater (I would imagine a far superior read to the extract from the Dan Brown, but as I don't actually enjoy bleeding eyes, couldn't tell you for certain).


Yay for me and my bleeding heart (if not eyes) - I bought the Indie AND the Observer - keeping the papers afloat single-handed (apart from that MacGabhann fella).


Unfortunately wolfie, I couldnae steal the DVD, as it's a send-away type offer. Also, my bleeding heart just wouldn't allow it. You and your stony Times-reading heart can keep your Shawshank (one of the best films of all time hyperbole nonsense!) I've already got it anyway.


Boy am I in high spirits this evening - even if I put my chicken in the oven really late and am only going to get a sandwich when Waking the Dead's nearly finished.


Oversharing, me?

Yes, I think so too - but I believe the Birthday Boy was talking about Dan Brown, so I concluded that SeanMac was misdirecting his ire.


But what do I know? I read trashy books, and enjoy them*.


*Yes, I know, cross me off, blah blah blah. Like I was going to get one anyway.

Rosie read me right, Moos read the situation right and I see quids meant Dan-o now


So I was wrong and an especially carefully crafted cardboard christmas c... no I can't alliterate any more - but quids is back on the list. Moos was never off it

    • 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!
