...plumbing issues in the bathroom at home can also be a factor - when you're left with new working taps cable-tied to old redundant taps because they won't come out of the bl00dy sink unless you smash the thing off of the wall, AND you haven't got a replacement sink because "it won't be a problem" (actually, thinking about it, this is more of a [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] attack than a syncopal one, sorry)

Don't talk to me about bathrooms....

Still flushing our toilet with a bucket and the bathroom was started in September...

Joy of having a builder for a brother who is incredibly lazy I guess!!

KimA

Joey,

I can sympathise - you're the first person today who's made me smile though - thanks

M Hutton

Bad day Kim?

I thought Dom always made you smile (in a positive way)!

Trouble is I have now got so used to having a new toilet and sink in the front room that I don't even notice it anymore. Cistern is currently between our Sofas and actually makes a handy table for drinks and the toilet bowl is currently the place of choice for the cats to sleep. It has been there so long now that the cardboard over the top of the toilet has actually moulded to the cats bodies.

You mentioned about your sink, well we havent even got one at the moment just a couple of pipes coming out of the floorboards. We had the same problem as you though we couldn't get the old taps out so as we were throwing it away anyway I accidentally stuck a club hammer through it several times.

Everybody was really enthusiastic at first when the demolition part was going on and we had visions of it all being finished in a couple of weeks.....

Maybe just moving is the answer?

Kim,
oooh, sounds like Dom should not be allowed to do DIY

KimA

It's not Dom (although he's finding it very funny, the s0d), it's a friend who's helping him that started it all whilst I was out food shopping - last time they both get left alone together, believe me - I came home to find them both sniggering in the bathroom

KimA

Dr Evil's just suggested that I buy Dom a yellow hat and call him Bob the Builder - LOL

Markus

ahh, they been at the pipe glue then

I'm a bad DIY type (have a look at my quads ) and know when not to start something, if I need it done I get my brother in, as he seems to be rather good at DIY, especially making fireplaces!

Markus

Bob the bodger
Dom the builder

or maybe a combination of the two

KimA

LOL @Markus

Markus

well, thought I'd cheer you up, glad it worked

rnr

but seriously lads......................

KimA

Fainted once when I saw a dead body (my grandmother's) - very embarrassing as when I came to I was nearly sick over a concerned PC

Also had a series of dizzy/nearly fainting spells a while back - but I had a low blood sugar level (tried to rectify this one afternoon by drinking a can of Coke and eating chocolate - result, completely hyper mess).

What's your problem then rnr?

rnr

fainted this morning at work,did so in june i spent a week in hospital for tests all inconlusive.saw the doctor this morning,referal to a cardiologist,is my driving life over??????????spoke to dvla told them 1or2 faints in the last year, ok from them.i just wonderd if any one else had the same . Rich

KimA

Blimey I guess you would get a "no driving" speech from your doctor if he thought it might be a problem. Do you have private health cover??? If so, would be (hopefully) the quickest solution for finding out what's wrong.

Good luck!
