Were supposed to have new lounge furniture delivered today, so old pu outside for collection. When it arrived, they couldn't get it thought the door!

So, one, slightly damp, settee brought back in!

Mrs is rather upset.

Anyone know how much it costs to have a double glazed window removed/replaced?

I'm just back from a windy walk in the weald. As I was coming back, my car's tyre pressure warning came on. When I got home, I got the track pump out of the back of the car and gave the tyre a little boost. The non-resident, non-disabled bloke who always parks in the residents'-only disabled parking space turned up and asked me about whether I had a puncture. Apparently, he's had 3 since since he allocated himself the parking space. From this I gather one of our residents is letting his tyres down. I wonder how long it will be before he starts parking somewhere else.

Oooops.

This is precisely why measuring before buying is usually a wise thing to do.

It is raining horizontally.

There is also a fen blow mixed up with that.

I used to deliver furniture, including settees, and it was very rare that they wouldn't fit though a door one way or another.

@deptfordmarmoset - we had that; someone was using resident's parking to hide their car whilst they visited their bit-on-the-side nearby so they weren't caught.

Only the locals knew him and his wife. Who wasn't aware of the 25 years-younger bit-on-the-side. They soon let him know by a) letting all his tyres down and b) telling his wife where to find him and his car at the same time.

@postman - that'd be a sensible idea.

That will be a first me sensible,I am the one that thought a garden fire needed some help as it looked weak,I poured in a small tin of nitromores I remember a grey sort of mushroom cloud enveloped me,could not breath and finally throwing myself backwards away from the fire and laid gasping,sensible that will be good.

We had to have it done years ago. At the time we paid someone who used to fit windows £100. It must have gone up some since then .

We had to have our window taken out to allow our new sofa to fit in our house . When we moved house I undid the back and cut through the back supports to allow the sofa to be folded to allow it to fit through the doors . Once it fitted into this house I put it back together with bracing plates.

PayPal limited my account pending closure, I appealed their decision, providing no additional info other than asking why they were doing it. Account now restored. What fun this afternoon.
