  1. More drainage in, 2 more to go in tomorrow then I think it’s just pipe bedding and to stone out for whoever is putting the floor in, I hope they are in the right place, I might have Friday off unless I get a better offer
  2. You have to, it even comes on the drawings saying they have to be filled
  3. They are mental, before all this they were living in Stockton with the smack heads, she ended up in hospital claiming to be pregnant but wouldn’t let anyone near her, turned out to be a cushion, but she was previously pregnant, that’s why they both ended up on remand, on a child cruelty charge, she claimed she had sacrificed the baby in the river, they used to walk around the high street chanting doing the African two step
  4. I think that just like me they go to work to make as much money as they can to fund the lifestyle they want, my wife is an accountant for the NHS and the money they make from private work far exceeds what the NHS pays
  5. My wife has been in hospital for a couple of days with severe abdominal pain, now they think they know what it is but need to do an investigative procedure, so she’s put on the list, estimated time for this to be done is 15 months, now she can’t be in this amount of pain for over a year so we looked at private, we have now got a pre assessment next Wednesday with the same consultant that would be doing it on the NHS and the procedure to be done in around 3 weeks at a cost of around 6k, now we are lucky to be in a position to go private but how many other people are suffering for years before a
  6. Proper butchers pork chops, lovely
  7. Made a bit of progress today, everything takes 3 times longer than normal having to put string lines up on every run to make sure it’s in the right place because there’s no going back once the floor is poured
  8. Back in Middlesbroughstan today, a lot of drainage to go in
  9. I can recommend this if you come across it
  10. Just got Mrs Stav home from hospital, so a beef stroganoff to try and cheer her up a bit
  11. Not drinking yet but the second batch of my shoot day bramble gin is bottled and the third is on the go
  12. Tonight’s tea was harissa chargrilled chicken with a spicy Mediterranean stew and rice, it was bloody lovely
  13. If it’s India stone and the customer wants it sealing I’ll do it straight away, if it’s another natural stone I would recommend letting a winter get at it first to draw the salt out, generally I try to put people off sealing any patio, there’s some really good cleaning products out now that will lift most stuff that spilt on them i did a really expensive one a few years ago and the customer wanted it sealed, to cut a long story short it turned into a nightmare, they were all salt marked and it was like an ice rink, I had to remove the sealer which was a terrible job
  14. Bit of patio down and I’ve stripped the copper out on his time as well
  15. If he’s been sent them he’s decided to keep them because I bet he didn’t receive them 30 seconds before his door went in, any normal lad would of deleted them straight away or reported the sender, if he was “ just sent them “ how has his name come to the attention of the police, they don’t get notifications when anyone gets a dodgy email or text
  16. Chicken and mushroom thing tonight with thyme, garlic and mustard, nice
  17. That’s what I thought, but I’ve got a demolition job coming up and there will be gear coming out of there so it might be worth my while for a couple of hours, that’s if the scrap price goes back up
  18. I will literally do anything for money stripped this bungalow out and he said will you strip the paper, yes I will. Will you put a bit of patio down out the back, yes I will. Will you strip all the pipe work out and you can have it, but he won’t pay me to do it, I’ll think about it
  19. Pork choppy things tonight, chucked on the plate because I’m knackered and couldn’t be arsed
  20. Tonight was cod loin with panko chorizo breadcrumbs, mini thyme roast spuds, griddled asparagus and a lemon aioli, it was very nice
  21. NO One of the lads I work with buys bungalows at auction ( when the old dears died) he makes good money on them, the last one he did around 80k on and I would guess he make somewhere between 40 and 50k on this one
