I'm sneezing like Mr Sneeze. I really hope I'm not going down with a cold or flu.

Pissed off? I'll give you pissed off. And it's nothing to do with a hangover.

I recently got a house back from tenants, they'd made a real mess of it leaving me having to clear, clean and repaint, once they eventually left (late). I took 2 trailer-loads of rubbish to the dump but there was still another 2 to go, sitting outside the house. Got a cleaning company in (lots of money but don't have time to do it myself) and was in the process of getting garden done, cleaning curtains and other bits and pieces and had got handyman round to quote on assorted repairs.

Saturday's plan was to go and put another load of curtains in the wash, pull up a few more weeds, go and visit a carpet supplier, go to a trade kitchen supplier to source a new kitchen (only open Sat mornings, not afternoons or Sunday).

Went round on Saturday morning to finish clearing the rubbish from the front of the house to find someone or several someones broke into the house by smashing the glass on the front door but the door was deadlocked so they managed to break the lock mechanism as well, smashed a large double-glazed window at the front by throwing a chair and a stereo through it, graffitied on a door and a wall, cigarettes stubbed out all over the carpet, poked holes in the ceiling, broke the strimmer that was in there ready for the garden work, broke my hoover that I'd brought over from my own house, ripped the door off the freezer and put a big dent in the fridge freezer, gouged scratches into the wall, smashed holes in 3 doors internal doors - even had the cheek to drag a sofa bed into the main living room and open it out and throw the clean curtains around - basically made a right mess. Discovered while walking round that they'd also tried to break in by some other windows so have bent the whole unit so that it'll have to be replaced and broke the handle mechanism on the back door too.

Neighbours apparently heard a bit of a racket on Friday evening but didn't call the police, even though they knew the house was empty.

So my Saturday morning and most of the afternoon was a complete write-off and gives me another week's delay on getting kitchen and carpets, the glazier came to do an emergency repair and at least make the place secure and cost a small fortune, got a quote from him for the other window too, it's frightening. Glad I couldn't take my blood pressure, I'm sure it would have been through the ceiling.

I'll give you pissed off.

But the officer that came along to take statements etc was at least very restful on the eyes... Wink

Good job I shop around for insurance every year, got renewal for the car insurance. Thought I'd try confused first, same insurance co offered me a cheaper quote for the same policy. Just wait til I phone them and give them a piece of my mind ? Evil or Very Mad

Still, I have found a much better quote from another co. Very Happy

No, I thought that for a while, but as the graffiti matched some at the garage at the end of the road, and there was only one beer can, I reckon it was youngsters, I know they do hang around on the green nearby and would have noticed the empty house.

But I do agree - bastids.

And did I mention what else is REALLY pissing me off? I can't find an insurance policy for the house. Did find one but it had run out, can't remember if I got round to sorting another one out. I'll be well out of pocket if I didn't. Kinda makes me feel sick.

Aren't you just such lovely people, I've come over all peculiar!

Didn't shed a tear over the rubbish at the weekend but touched enough at this to be damp-eyed over your generosity.

If there's a Corgi gas-fitter on the site who wants a bit of work I can put some your way...

Update from the police is that CID are actually working on this one. Fag butts taken for DNA analysis, photos of graffiti due to be taken and run against local borough database of graffiti artists. Ex-tenant interviewed already, denies it and I do tend to lean towards the local wasters rather than him.

Would love to break a few legs, but of course even if caught and even if prosecuted, they'll probably get off with a slap on the wrist and some 'community service'.

Oh well, I've still got my health, my family, my bike (cos the local shites haven't had off with it and I got an Almax), could be worse.

The clutch slave cylinder in the Volvo leaking Confused

it wouldn't be so bad but some stupid Swedish twat decided to combine with the thrust release bearing inside the bell-housing and that means that I am looking well over £1000.00 + VAT for what will have been a leaky seal worth £1.00
Arrrghh!

Get a new clutch fitted at the same time seeing as the lionshare of the labour to do so will already (unfortunately) be being paid...

The venue for my wife's 40th birthday party this saturday has just rung and told me that not only have they just been refused a late licence for this saturday, to make things worse they have been refused an entertainment licence meaning we can't have a band
this makes me f**kin livid as we booked the venue in march and told them we wanted a band and were told this was not a problem so to tell us 4 days before the party that we cant is out of order, plus the grief we have had to get a band sorted is unbelievable after "the Kick" dropped us in the shit at the last minute curtosey of their w*nker of a singer.

am seriously f*cked off
all I wanted was a great party with a good live band to celebrate Dizz's 40th in style and it's just been 1 nightmare after another Sad
