...like a bad smell!
Where have you been, I hear you ask. It's a long story and one I need you to help with the ending.

I've had the b*stard builder in! First thing he done...cut my cable/'phone/broadband! That was 20 July! Now, he's not all bad, he did volunteer to reconnect me but I declined when I found he'd tried to do it from my TV connection! Bless! But that's the least of my worries! I'm now living like a hobo - no carpets, no blinds, no washbasin, lights hanging from the ceiling, a bathroom suite that doesn't match (but no wash basin) and radiators on the floor not the wall!

So, what do I do? I've often been called a witch so maybe he hasn't been in touch for 2 weeks because he's suffered the fate I've wished for him. Anyway, the batandtwastard has had £17500 of my money and I want something to show for it!

You'd have thought that getting him from the Federation of Master Builders site would have ensured I was dealing with a professional but ho-hum.....

Thinking of buying a caravan though and cutting my losses.......cassief
