Hate sending bills to friends

[kathwilcox]

Trev, Specialist, you pair of soppy sods, i know where your coming from though and the best thing about grand kids is you can give them back!

 

[trev]

Guilty as charged your honour. We'd happily keep him, even if he does like to wake me up at 6am on a Sunday by poking me in the face.

 

[kathwilcox]

i would happily keep my granddaughter but have forgotten how much hard work they are! Only have one child left at home now and he looks after me, hahaha

 

[Specialist]

I've hopefully got the pleasure of Grandkids yet to come. I've still got 2 at home, 1 just turned 11 & the other 9 going on 90. The 9 year old keeps trying to nick my tools & meters for her toolbox

 

[trev]

We weren't expecting hm to come along for another few years yet
Funyy thing that missing tools malarkey, I found my old pyro gear in the youngest son's wardrobe the other week. No clue how it got there because he didn't do it, must have been the fairys again

 

[Dipzy]

Them fairies seem to be very busy eh?

 

[Specialist]

:yes: They're little buggers for nicking tools, those fairies. When my eldest was little I had a cracking pair of pliers that went missing, we looked everywhere we could think of with no luck. About 2 years later, my mate came to do a plumbing job for us & discovers my pliers. There was a small loose board in the Airing cuboard & she'd hidden them under there & forgotten about them, my missus still winds her up about it now

 

[kathwilcox]

yes i have a tool fairy at my house as well, it steals the extension lead and battery jigsaw out of my van, which is a real pain when you go to use them and there not there!

i have 3 boys, 23,22 & 17, 15 month old granddaughter from middle son.

oh the joys of being a granny! LOL

 

[Specialist]

Bet that tool fairy is also known as your other half :wink5:

 

[kathwilcox]

Oh yes I can have anything that's better than what he has or it magically disappears, when I got a new tool bag I didn't even get chance to put my tools in it!

I try to not charge friends but I must say if I ever ask they always repay the favour. If I'm gona charge I normally say before hand depends if they taking the mick and expecting it. Although I end up not charging but at least they where willing to pay.

The only thing that he doesn't get to steel is my van, which winds him up as he has a poxy vw caddy!
Plus whenever he does drive a vechile of mine it always comes back with something missing or hanging off, so he's BANNED! :cuss:

:rofl::rofl:

 

[llywelyn111]

How much would any of you charged for this job. roughly

 

[trev]

Hmmmm? This thread was about work? hehe

 

[kathwilcox]

Just been informed i have a job to do at home, somebody has broken the pull switch in the bathroom!

Who should i send the bill to and what do you think i should charge?

 

[Specialist]

Send the bill to your other half Kath, plumbers have got more money than sparkies. Mimimum charge should be breakfast in bed on the weekend :teeth_smile::wink5:

 

[kathwilcox]

Not at the company he works for,lol. :sick:

see if you can guess who it is, few clues, there a national company, it begins with C and there good at cutting budgets and the workforce

Mine you he's going self employed again soon, so i will be able to have the log cabin i want and retire! :wink5:

 

[DurhamSparky]
