From one skinter to another after paying out £1,000 for a new kitchen roof today

the guy who had been working on the bungalow for the previous occupants said he had tried to cure this leak, shame he didn't succeed

and that he didn't bother to tell us first, we might have been able to re-negoiate the asking price then, on top of all the other bits we have had to replace, wiring etc, fuse box, etc.,
grumble, grumble
Um thats me finished now - sorry about that folks, Christmas is coming not
