Makes it more achievable for me. I wasn't going to be able to raise the funds in time as it was too early for me. Especially as a few repair bills have hit unexpectedly recently. £500 cash to the plumber for a starters, bloody two days work, clearly got into the wrong profession!
I was in a cinema queue behind two heavily tattooed young lads of shall we say questionable linguistic skills obviously tradesmen of some sort who were discussing meetings with their accountants and the eye-watering amounts they were earning...made my distinctly white collar salary look barely adequate. Good luck to them! If only I had not been too cack-handed to re-wire a tap...
@micra that's the sadness of working life for most of us - you have to wait for retirement to have enough money to get your tatts, piercings and your Harley.

2 days of plumbing work?! What on earth would take 2 days?
Identity what's wrong, replace processer, still same problem, make/drink tea, change pump in airing cupboard as that is obviously what's causing the problem, nope, make/drink tea then go off to eff up someone else's plumbing. Come back next day, scratch nads/make/drink tea.change shower/module, bingo, problem sorted. That's £500 cash, untaxable income to pay and oh, by the way, you need more milk and sugar mate, running a bit low!

£500 for two days plumbing work? I'd say you got off lightly!
Just be thankful you didn't employ this plumber Ewan!

Young lads with accountants is scary enough but to be able to afford tattoos as well....... (I’m still saving for one).
For mrs micra.

Sadly, I think Harley Street takes precedence over the Jim variety. (He said obscurely.)

How much would it have been through the books if that's a discount?
FYI just tried to renew and the system is down. Guy on the phone told me to call back Monday.
Patience, you'll appreciate the £2 saving of over the net versus over the phone
