A woman across the street from me bought an upstairs flat with loft conversion for 100k in october .... it's up for 142k now. She spent 30k on it and I don't think she realises that she will not get that.

I live over the road, downstairs flat .. 90k

There's only one time I'll care what this gaff is worth...and it's not now

Von Smallhausen · 12-02-2007, 20:19

6 years ago, my flat was worth 30k. Sadly, I didn't own it then.

Des, I hope you have planned for a proper slate bed pool table in your gaff.

The trick is to put a lace cover and some flowers over it when not in use so Piggy doesn't realise.

Lace my arse !

I'm not bothered by how much it's worth as we're doing to work to make for a lovely home and not to make more money but I'm curious

GRRR @ B&Q !!!

Went to get our kitchen designed last night, told them what we wanted.

B&Q : Oh, you want a solid worktop ? We only do that fitted only
US : That's ok, I don't mind paying for the worktop
B&Q : No you have to pay for the WHOLE kitchen to be fitted

ok, bit peed off but we go through the quote - comes to the end and the fitting is about as much as the damn kitchen .. which isn't cheap

Just been on the phone to customer services trying to sort it out :/

You haven't said that what makes it more frustrating is the 5 pro kitchen fitter mates that I've got who will do it for peanuts :/

Get an idependant kitchen fitter. I have a number of a decent chap who's done a lot of work for me. The advantage is, is that that you get what you want and it can work out cheaper.

Piggymon · 15-02-2007, 10:59

That's what we want to do Paul, we have a kitchen fitter in the family who will do it for next to nothing but B&Q REFUSE to supply the Kitchen & Worktop without them fitting it !!

I can understand the worktop because it's specialised and would be happy to pay for that but I refuse to pay for them to fit the units when we can get it done at a fraction of the price and a lot quicker ! ( they are currently quoting 15weeks for installation )

Spoke to a nice chap at B&Q who agreed with everything I said and gave me the number of the company who supply them with the worktops

Just waiting for B&Q to come back to me with our measurements so we can get the quote done elsewhere

****ERS !

Piggymon · 15-02-2007, 11:29

I've just had a price from B&Q excluding the worktops and fitting .. the original quote was just under £7K

£2.5K

What a ******* saga !
