Little Miss Acid Drop

Whoever has my missing ceiling panel, can you return it immediately, please!

It's free but you'll have to collect it yourself.....

Plumber came today. The bathroom was tiled before the bath was put in which is why it doesn't fit so the lot has to come out! I could stangulate batandtwastard! I'll have to buy another suite because the one f*ckwit has put in doesn't match! But on a positive note - he got the shower working!
I'm beginning to feel like there's no end to this. Running away does appear to be a very good option! However, I'll not let the bastard get me down so I'll see him in court......cassie

Well, rang the Federation of Master Builders again. Not very helpful; their complaints procedure is inadaquate for cases that need urgent attention. I have to complete a compaints form and send to them; they then write to the builder and give him 14 days to respond; if he doesn't they send him a reminder and give him a further 7 days. They then consider the complaint.....
& in the meantime I'm living in a property that has been wrecked by their member!

I am getting really upset and frustrated by this whole thing! No matter which way I turn there are obstacles and that bastard has got away with it! I contacted FMB so that other single women weren't robbed by the bastard but nobody is interested - Trading Standards, CAB, FMB. I'm now going to ring a solicitor and see if they're interested.

I have a plumber coming later to see what can be done about the bathroom; fingers crossed that he's a miracle worker!

So, if you live in the North East abd are looking for a builder steer well clear of
Anff Batandtwastard and just to make sure you know who it is, here's his website

www.livingstyle-builders.co.uk

Happy surfing......cassie

So...I named batandtwastard on Rogue Traders and the DTI site. Not that'll get my money back but it may lose him some work.
Decided I'm going to sue so off to the solicitors tomorrow. Wish me luck.......cassie

Ho-hum....just had a joiner in to give me a quote to fix batandtwastards work. He laughed! Apparently, it's "shoddy" and hasn't been done by a joiner. Now I have to wait to see how much it will cost to put right! The door frames aren't in properly, the skirting are all twisted and if he takes the damaged window sills off it will damage the walls! & as far as the bathroom is concerned - it will have to come out!!
Now I'm really angry! Is it an offence to name him here? Can I put a link to his website to warn other unsuspecting single women who think by going thru' the FMB they're protected from cowboys?........a very depressed cassie

I'm determined today to be positive. I've rang four builders to come out and give me a quote to finish off the botched job that batandtwastard Anff has left (he thinks he's living style, my arse!). Let's hope I can afford them! There's only the loft to finish, a bathroom suite to fix/install, plastering to be repaired/replaced, joinery that needs repairing, cracks in walls where he brayed them with a hammer....the list seems endless.
Still no response from the guy at the Federation of Master Builders - I suppose that tells me a lot! Will ring again later.
Did I mention that it only took batandtwastard Anff 13 weeks to trash my home?.............cassief

...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

After watching Mackays performance yesterday it was inevitable that he would have to go. Sometimes you wonder how we (the public), got hoodwinked by these people! Watching them now, it's clear that they're not fine upstanding honorable people. Ho-hum!
On a lighter note - going to have a soak in the bath after a busy day washing, ironing and cleaning. Tomorrow will be clear for the footie. Hoo-ray!............cassie

I have been really surprised at the intense emotion I still feel when I see photos of the mccanns.
When Madeleine went missing my sis and I had really passionate 'debates' about it. Even now, when I see them I feel absolute disgust. Seeing them with their other two children infuriates me! Having lost one daughter you'd think they'd be extra, extra careful with their other two and not parade them for the media.
Some people never learn!!........cassie
