The chatty painter finishes today. As Mrs Nick fled the house this morning she said " Can you pay him before he leaves?"
I asked him how much.
£830!! evil:
CASH evil:
-
I honestly don't know where I could find that amount of cash at short notice. Don't the banks only allow you to withdraw £200 a day. I know when I needed to do more than that I had to jump through a silly amount of hoops.
-
Ask for a receipt!
Materials £156.38
Labour £200.00
Chatting to Mrs. Nick £350.00
VAT £123.62
Total £830

Fortunately, and for reasons I cannot explain, I have three current accounts and therefore three debit cards.
This does not make me any happier!
-
That is still only £600

He can have the rest tomorrow. He starts work on next door's house!

Small change for Nick - he prolly carries that much in his wallet all the time... whistle:

I rather think not! evil:

Are you talking about Nick's disaster fund? whistle:

Yes... must be at least a grand... whistle:
I expect he carries a few grand in Krugerrands around with him too – for when he really farks up! point:

Sorry but mine allows me up to £300 and the other one lets me withdraw £250 from the hole in the wall but £500 if I go in and stand in a queue. You need to get your affairs sorted my dear, jumping through hoops indeed ...... you could raise more than £200 on the town hall steps.

True but Wenchy's bank has probably taken her Tat and Wispa addiction into consideration and thats why her withdrawal limit is lower than your... whistle:

To be fair generally it isn't a problem. I don't tend to deal in large amounts of cash. It was only because the bloody funeral home/crematorium wanted paying in cash. evil:
-
You had a black market funeral for your Dad? eeek:
-
They wouldn't take credit cards, cheques, maestro or anything sensible. Only a spanish cash card which none of us had.
-
How very odd.
I suppose they had been "caught out" in the past by some of the dodgy characters who used to hide out in Spain.
When I "arranged" Mum's funeral I did it "long distance" by 'phone from London with a local undertaker in Dorset who was happy to send me the bill and that didn't come until several weeks after the cremation. Dunno what he would have done if I hadn't paid. I like to think that she would have laughed at my suggestion, to my brother, that if we didn't pay the undertaker would try to piece the ashes back together. We did share the same warped sense of humour Mum and I.
-
They said if we didn't pay we couldn't have the casket. God knows what they want to do with the ashes. ::)
-
Exactly ....... best to laugh about it too I feel.
-
When my daughter was buried they did it for free. They do that with babies cry:
She'd be 12 now
-
Sorry Nick .... forgot.
You are not alone with such thoughts but that is a long story that I am not going into here.

Sorry matey didn't think.

Actually, and this is for all, if you experience the death of a child it is the worst thing that can ever happen to you.
ANd since the worst thing that can ever happen has happened, nothing else holds any fear.
A life without fear is a rare experience, since most (no all) people fear something.
I don't any more

No prob matey

I imagine that it is. I can't obviously relate but losing a parent was bad enough and I imagine it is much worse.
But as you say pretty liberating. Although not at a price that anyone would want to pay.

I can see that. I get scared just at the thought of anything happening to my two girls, I can't imagine what you must have felt.
I am so sorry for your loss. Nothing else could come close to this.
-
Well that killed the thread!
-
Well to get back on track .... perhaps you would like to borrow some brushes, a ladder and a roller. You will of course need a white van at some stage. There is clearly money in painting and NO TAX from the look of it.

Shame I've just finished doing the outside of mine... you could have popped-over... whistle:
-
I am about to contact the rental agents to see if I can paint over the Summer. Well, I say I. I mean Mr Wench. eveilgrin: Colour charts are calling me! eveilgrin:
-
Summer?
-
School holidays. eveilgrin:
-
Mr Wench is under the lash!
Poor chap.
We should start a fund
-
He has done nothing off the chore list for the last five school holidays. He has been informed that this Summer the chore list MUST be completed! eveilgrin:
-
1. Destroy all Tat
2. Recover
-
More than his life is worth!
-
I could come round and help him destroy tat and then disappear. It would be my fault and he would be innocent

Your mere presence would prolly cause all the tat to spontaneously comubust Nick. whistle:

I can be very helpful!

What colour was your van before?

Alles Klar ist.
