You need to get a man in. I love having workmen in especially if I know them and can go out and leave them to it.

Before I moved my friends husband who is a house builder ( rather large and posh timber framed one's that I will never be able to afford without a lottery win or marriage to an oligarch ).
His lads used to do all my work and were very trustworthy so I could go off to work and when I got back voila, it was all done.

But like having faries I suppose.

I have moved too far away from them now so I have to keep taking days off to get stuff done

I've heard Potsy is very good with his hands and quite trustworthy (for a Manc).

That's a lie

Which bit?

I love having workmen in

I don't.

I think they're untidy, even if they don't. I like to be in too so I can see what bodges they're going to try and sneak past me.

I keep having to tell them to watch this, watch that, clean this up, don't leave it like that. I gave the window fitters a brush to clean the mess up they kept leaving around the garden the excuse of tidying up when they've finished is rubbish, bits tread in and blow all over the place.
they don't get a cuppa unless they're tidying up as they go. I even gave the workmen next door a bollocking for dropping stuff and letting it blow around my garden, "we were going to pick it up when we'd finished", yeah right

I have to be spotless at work, if I can manage it so can they



on the plus side its raining so I'm not on the roof today

however, apparently the doors etc. are inside where it's dry

The hearing bit is probably true. Potsy is from Manc - that's true but the rest of it may contain a number of terminological inexactitudes.

You what?

Is Sunday not a day of rest in far far away land ?

One of those is correct but I'm not saying which

You are also harmless to cats I hear.

A guy who used to work with us had a new kitchen fitted, he left his key with the B&Q workmen whilst he and his wife went to work. The 2 guys ate the cakes and other bits from the fridge without asking so he complained to the store and got some money taken off the bill.

Other people are happy to leave the workmen to it while they are out, no way would I do that. If we have anyone in then at least 1 of us will be at home

 

[Hill Wimp]

I would only do it if I knew them. Leaving strangers with access to your house is daft.

Talking of cats, it's too wet here for her to lie in the grass so she's been forced to come indoors, poor thing

Mine is currently mooching looking for mischief.
