Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

Sitting waiting for the Notary to confirm the house sale has been finalised, is there anything more stressful, perhaps childbirth.

Finally we have a notification that the deal is done, sweepstake on how long before I get the proceeds?

stuck at home having tested positive for corona. so in isolation. lateral flow testing Monday/Tuesday. they'll not brat this virus while schools are open. 1 infected child with no symptoms , in close contact with --- other brats, all go home ...--- families then infected. that's how we got it. 1 child home from school, now 7 of us got it. it's exponential.

My daughter up in Aberdeen is positive too, along with a lot of her mates.

I wonder if it’s anything to do with the nightclubs reopening, or just a massive coincidence???

 

[telectrix]

any large gathering with a load of people in close contact is a recipe for disaster. when did common sense cease to be a desirable quantity?

Young and common sense do not go together.

Young and common sense do not go together.

To be fair, middle aged and old + common sense do not go together much either!

Young and common sense do not go together.

Is that aimed at my daughter or our Tel?

I should take that as an insult...

She hasn't been stupid with the rules... wears a mask in public... didn't go to parties and whatever... But when the government says nightclubs are allowed to open, then she is still following official guidelines... what's wrong with that?
She's supporting a local hospitality business.

My nephew is at uni in Aberdeen as well, but not heard of any COVID problems yet. I think he has been vaccinated but unfortunately not fully up to date with the family.

My girl is all vaccinated and boosted. Was put down to the nightclub, but it could just as easily been someone without a mask in the supermarket.

I’m thinking there’s people going about without testing and carrying on as normal even though they’ve got it and spreading.

Quite possible, but it's equally likely that someone in a nightclub didn't even know they had it.

Both my 23 year old son and his partner had it a couple of weeks ago, but neither would have thought they anything more than a mild cold, if it wasn't for close contact with a since confirmed case a few days before.

Today... It went 'wrong" ! Friend called me as he was handing back his rental house (7 years ) to landlady .And she was been very very greedy expecting every thing to be MINT . Despite him showing her pics of the property when they moved in and also emails asking for repairs to be carried out that she refused to do .

I was asked to swap over socket plates as she provided nasty plastic and they had changed them over to nice crabtree ones. Looked at consumer and straight away asked her for a copy of the EICR . It was bad and bodged . Told my friend I was not touching anything as she had failed to ensure a EICR as required by law . She went off on one and called her son. He turned up and got shirty . Ended up with threatening me . Maybe i ground my coffee beans too much or something this morning. But i lost it ! We ended up walking out .Will report landlady to council for what ever its worth . Cant stand these types . Its disgusting that these people are not been find £5k in courts straight away . The scheme is a joke

HSE might be worth a quick email?

Sure you weren’t watching that “scummy tenants, crooked landlord” or whatever the programmes called

In 40 years of adult life mainly in London and working at middle class to high end homes / clients. I have seen easily MORE bad landlords than tenants . And so many of these landlords have a few things in Common .But thats all 'wacist " etc .
