Well, that was an expensive night out

[sherrardk]

Himself went out last night (no problems with that, he works hard and probably hasn't been out for about a year). However, he lost his keys and tried to get me to wake up to let him in my throwing stones at the windows. He then broke a pane of glass in the back door to get in. When we opened the curtains this morning he had managed to break all three back bedroom windows. As he has no spare key for his van, he then had to go and buy another one (he has to have a van for Monday, can't rent one as they have no roof racks for his ladders) - he was going to get a new one anyway, just not this side of Christmas. All in all an expensive night put, good job he rarely goes out.

cant you buy a new barrel and key? it would be cheaper than a new van

[daffy654]

Oh dear! I'd have gone ballistic at my oh if he did anything like that.

[cazzz1975]

oh okay I just read you were going to get a new van in anycase, you would still need to sort out the old one if you are selling it

[sherrardk]

The van is on its last legs and we had to sort it out today as he is fully booked for work next week. He can't prove ownership of the damn thing as he has misplaced the paperwork for it.

[sherrardk]

Going to scrap the old one, it really is knackered (small wonder he hasn't been pulled over by the police given the amount of smoke that comes out of it).

[cazzz1975]

shame he didnt have a mobile phone, got to be easier phoning you than breaking the windows!

[firewatch]

oopsie! Trying to think of somewhere in hereford that does em cheap and dont ask questions, have you triead the breakers yard and steens bridge??

[sara3]

wow, you slept through all that?!!

[Buenchico]

Look at it this way, Sherr:

Eventually, over many years, most of your windows will get broken. Calling a glazier out several times, to repair each window individually, would inevitably be more expensive than repairing them all at once. So, by breaking three at the same time, your hubby has actually SAVED you money!
;-)

He did phone, I didn't hear it!

FW - think there are some scrapies that will come and collect it. The paperwork is probably at our showroom, I will ring the manager on Monday and ask her to look for it.

[firewatch]

give steens bridge a ring they are good, the family usually go there for spares not sure if they collect mind

[sherrardk]

Sara - I can sleep through anything. Him and his friend spent two hours trying to get in.

Buenchico - it's four including the glass in the back door! Will find a firm of glazers to come round on Monday.

[sherrardk]

Cheers FW, I will pass the name on to himself.

You're all heart spacey ;)

<wet suit?>

[sherrardk]

Well there's no point getting wound up about it, worse things have happened to us - it just seems that things happen to us in chunks. Luckily he actually has some money at the moment to sort it all out.

[sherrardk]

The back garden is covered in the stones that they we chucking, the plastic slide thing has been moved (they obviously thought it would be a good idea to try and climb on the extension and try knocking the windows, but as they are both in their fifties is was beyond them). He has to push his van up the street as it was blocking my car in (it now looks like it has been dumped so bound to have the pole knocking the door about it). We also now all have to go to bloody Abgavenny tomorrow to pick up the van that he bought today!

ha ha ha sorry shouldnt laugh but he is bloomin daft.
