I've done that in the past, and I think it just sets me up as a soft target
Familiarity breeds contempt and all that.

My kitchen needs replacing, and I just cant face dealing with the workmen.

Decide what you want and then tell them
be firm - it's just like dealing with small children - tell them what you want and be insistent.

Small children, animals and men - once you show them who's boss there are usually no problems.

Ah, the pleasures of being a woman who knows what she wants and how to get it
Ageing does have its benefits.

Well I know what I want.
Getting it is a bit of a struggle at the moment ;)

Don't forget your cellar
add copious amounts of alcohol and you should be sorted for a victim guest this weekend!

God no.
No prowling this weekend. I'll be too busy hostessing.

Edit - plus I don't want the men frightened of me.

So in that case it's down to me and Tourettes to find you one then?

I think Asun has someone in mind but I've been to busy to get over to Manchester.

(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Tue 22 Jun 2010, 10:59, Reply)
You must go to Manchester
It's not called Manchester for nothing you know!

Pfft!
I use to live in Manchester and it didn't do me any good then.

Were you into the laydeez back then?

No! before then.
I was living in Coventry when I was lady loving.

It's fitting that it has a massive ring road that's in disrepair.

But such wonderful stuff has come from Coventry.

It's also got an Ikea now, and I didn't get stabbed when shopping there.

But was that back when you were only drinking from the furry cup?

Do some investigating to find a reliable builder.
If they are good then it will be a while before they can fit you in anyway.
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Tue 22 Jun 2010, 10:52, Reply)
That's very good advice
I have asked friends and wotnot. Some of the horror stories would turn your hair white...being left without a kitchen for 3 months and the like.

Of course I'm joking, I'm well aware that poor people now live in towers and wear Nike trainers that I paid for.

That's because it's not in the North
up there all you can hear is the constant moan of brass instruments and the incessant chatter of drunken plebs.

I've never drunk port
before dinner. Why not have yourself a nice gin and tonic, or a Pimms or just a glass of champagne instead?
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 22 Jun 2010, 11:04, Reply)
Before dinner simply would not do.
I always treat myself to a fine vintage port from Selfridges every Christmas. A little gift to myself.

In the country, this is possibly true.
