Oh dear bags - been there, done that, didn't like it much.
I had no problems at all with any of my sons - but teenage daughters.........uh oh! Count to ten and breathe, count to ten and breathe, count to ten and breathe........flowers brew wine cupcake Choose whatever helps. smile

Good morning here still - dry but grey looking. Mentioned price of your gutters to DH Allie he said it would have something to do with the fact that they would probably need to have scaffolding erected and that is very expensive - all sorts of laws now about going up over a certain height not allowed on just a ladder. I had trouble with window cleaners in our last house because of that - had a dreadful job doing a couple of them from the inside!

Yes, it did include scaffolding.
I now have another builder coming to estimate tomorrow....

Anno - I just put lots of 'Lasagne for 4 - say £6.50' x 4 etc but I did include some steaks, chops etc as I did actually have some. I was so incensed that they wanted the cost of every single thing in there just to pay out about £75 angry

When my freezer failed I phoned to ask about claiming on my insurance, and told the girl at the other end of the line that there was a ,lot of home-made stuff, which was difficult to price. She advised me to make educated guesses, which would be accepted if the total was reasonable for the size of freezer. Even so, by the time I had paid the excess I got nowhere near enough to totally restock.
