Swarley Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 At school today one of my colleagues gave me her phone number, basically to arrange to meet up/go out sometime during spring break! Result! I know "spring break" sounds wanky yankee, but that's what it's called here. Game on mate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 ALl going well she might give you a yankee wanky. I remember walking past the toilet at a house party and hearing a guy say to the girl who was in there with him "if you were my mate, you'd give me a w**k!" I think he ended up pumping her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just met with the loss adjusters; I'm getting a full new kitchen. Electrics, walls, ceilings, windows, cabinetry, worktops, electrics etc all getting replaced. Thank f**k for insurance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Windows? Fuckin hell, your neighbour must've done a good job of flooding you. Aye, they've managed to flood the house below me as well! One of the kitchen windows has water inside the glazing unit and the decorative timber surround has fallen out of the wall! Totally fucked us. But I'm not complaining now, when it's all done it'll be glorious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Skeptics among us might think that this is an insurance job. Not me, though. Did I mention I work in the building trade...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a variety of other electrical equipment and jewelry that has all now been water damaged? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, appliances are covered by my home contents, rather than my buildings insurance, but wouldn't you know it, my home contents insurance may just get an email to say my £700 jacket was damaged in the flood... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 £700 jacket? Did Adam lend you his jacket? I don't think curry stains would pass for water damage. Also his is too wee for me since I'm such a #buff guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Since my contract was ending I got in touch with an agency if previously used and got nowhere with. Interestingly though, same guy as 18 months ago, expect this time I'm currently employed, 3 interviews arranged in the space of 2 days all next week. Really shows it is incredibly difficult to get a job if you don't have one. (Dependant on where obviously, not talking retail, etc) Plus where I am will probably offer me a new contract and a wage increase. Not that I'm going to be taking it unless nothing else comes up. #comingupmilhouse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I also left my collection of Faberge Eggs and Ferrari 250 in your kitchen that day mate. They were right next to my Louis Vuitton luggage and my collection of first edition bibles. Such a sad loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Greedy pair of b*****ds. Though if you felt like telling them my iPad was in there, I wouldn't mind corroborating that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my fucking money I'm claiming back from the insurer! Frankly the fact I had to prove the damage is silly in itself, I pay into the policy, I should be able to access the funds, like a pension. Regardless of the rights or wrongs of the insurance industry though, I'm glad I have the policy, I'd have been totally fucked otherwise. I'm having to move out until the work is concluded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 When you consider how much you pay in insurance over the time you have it - especially when it's mandatory and you have no choice but to pay it - it's ridiculous the hoops you jump through to get it back. My mum had to claim for a living room carpet once after the iron burnt a hole in it. The premiums went up by so much that she'd have bought the carpet in less than a year just in the increase in premium. The fact that it was me that put the iron on the carpet in the first place is neither here nor there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
