Random Irritations

Sat down on an Aldgate semi-fast, and texted my wife to say it's too good to be true and they'll probably cancel it. Three minutes later, yup, cancelled. Back to standing on a packed all stations and changing at Finchley then. Every bloody time.
 
Children in Need. Excellent cause, donated in the past, and worthy of support.

However I feel this year is one too many due to the circumstances of many potential donors.
 
Run a small tuck shop at work to allow people to get snacks and drinks as we in middle of nowhere

The constant moaning oh but it's cheaper in Tesco

Alright mate you go Tesco and buy it there .. if we don't make a tiny bit of profit there is never money to buy more stuff as it's just sitting on the shelfs

Tight gits
 
This is why you should never bother cleaning ...

Found a hole in the washing machine door seal. Repair man called out should be here soon

Dunno how long the hole has been there...... If I hadn't cleaned I wouldn't know lol
 
The utter dross that is the H&S/HR learning package that we’ve been sent out. Apparently if your mouse doesn’t work it’s a good idea to check the batteries; thanks for the reminder, I’d never have thought of that… ????
 
Mrs Colch!!!!!

She appears to believe that I have started defecating money. We moved in to the new house two weeks ago after getting a new lounge carpet fitted. Since we have moved in she has now got quotes for all the remaining carpets to be replaced, all the windows and doors to be replaced, remodelling of the bathroom and replacing the hot water tank as "it's not big enough", a downstairs toilet to be put in the existing porch with a new porch built and the front door to be moved, knocking out the chimney to increase the room sizes and knocking out a wall between the kitchen and dining room and replacing the kitchen. And she's got someone coming next week to see about knocking down the summer house and replacing it with a garden room for her to work in. And that's just the quotes so far, she still has plans for the garden that we haven't so quotes for - YET!!!!

Hope she's getting better quotes than some of the ones weve had lately! Been here over a year and still only half the house done and the garden a demolished mess :)

The first quote we got to put in the downstairs toilet, build the new porch and move the front door was £15k. I know that materials have gone up in price massively but that was about double what I was expecting. Needless to say I told her to get some more quotes.

We were thinking about having the loft converted but when the quotes came in at around £40k for that we decided that we didn't want it done after all.
