Which means I'll be doing bugger all today.

Just paid off our remaining balance for our holiday to Mexico...hurry up January

Do you ever wonder where you seem to get the money for trips away or treats you pick up etc....then realise you working blinking hard to get them and feel blinking proud of yourselves for actually living life and have pride and honour for putting the effort in, that's how we are feeling right now. Love life

Worked 1 night shift last night due to having loads of holiday recently. For half the shift I felt like a bit of zombie and although not having much energy in myself tried not to show it to my colleagues, which seemed to do it's job!! Woke up at 8AM yesterday and since then have had approx 2 hours worth of sleep using the very popular 'cat nap' routine every so often, feel fresh as a daisy at the moment

Going to do a bike ride with my 87 year old dad to a cafe in Derbyshire
Sun's out lyrica all the way

[Cav]

Aha.. the word "lycra" makes me cringe but I wear it all the time and it's so comfortable and good for sport

[D41]

Lycra makes me think of late '80s metal bands.

But yes...it's great for cycling, and for bike riding, etc.

Do you 3 want to start up your own fetish thread?

[C00kiemonster]

Going to pick up our eldest from the Airport later. Our summer visitors start - our favourite time of the year

Not the worst idea I've ever heard....

Having a stand up argument on my little own some with a very forceful road laying crew with a manager who couldnt be reasonable to save his life a very gobbie supervisor and ten pretty intimidating looking guys wondering why some nobhead Manc is throwing fooks into there day.

I stood my ground for 2 long hours this morning before I made a few calls to regional construction directors and contractors managers and the dicks outside after 6hours of discussion have now accept my concerns as genuine and in need of addressing correctly.

Everything at this new house is a fight to get done right. Honest truth is I've had enough but the stubborn pig in me won't let it drop and they can get this home built right if it kills me. It may actually do so

Could have rode the bike today and could have took my 2 sons to there first day at their new school and collected them afterwards to support them but no all day from 8am this morning arguing with Construction people on site.

Worst thing is I had the foresight to see today's issues and made efforts to avoid the drama but may have just p1ssed into the wind for all the good my efforts did me.

Ahhhhhhhhhh and breath again

[Rossgo]

Blade I really hope everything works out for you buddy, that sounds blinking crap sometimes you have to stand your ground to get things sorted but certainly doesn't help when they act like that. Fingers crossed what you have done is enough now

Today washed and polished the car. I have now come to the co cousin I don't lile white vehicles, they are blinking annoying ad they get dirt, tar spots and dead flies everywhere and are very difficult to get off!! But got there in the end and now I don't want to even drive it anywhere as it will just get dirty again and I can't deal with being out in 32 degree heat again but have got a nice little tan from doing so

Don't ask Cookie mate I would bore you to death pal

250+ snags some minor some major.

To give you a flavour 10 floors to be replaced, drive to be ripped up and re done, shower and baths to replace, about 15+ Windows to be replaced, both gardens to be excavated and land drains installed and returfed, kitchen units and appliances to be replaced I could go on and on and on

You have to watch them like a hawk as otherwise one bodge job is replaced with another.

Next door have had the patio replaced 4 times and the amtico 3 times. Others had walls and ceilings taken down to repair leaks.

Nice homes, high end fixtures and fittings but fitted by cowboys. They won't get away with it and it will be a lovely home when it's finshed.

[Monty]

Yep, I work in the construction industry and with very few exceptions I wouldn't touch a new house with a barge pole.

It's not so much that the builders are sh!t (most are) but more that the finance model is broken.

Most new houses are sh!t before they're actually built.

OMFG

Good on you for pushing them hard but can't be easy.

So many stories of poor developers these days - you have my sympathies. I'd have built it better mate
