Building plans man has been to see us with the plans for the addition of a window into the Dining room wall.
£276 to the Council for the building notice and £150 to him.
Whereas, If I had kept with my original 1.8m x 1.0m window it would have needed "full planning permission". So, I said drop it to 1.8M x 50cm so it can just be done as a building notice as the window area is <1Sqm. <- Success #1.
As I pointed out that the previously passed plans from 20 years ago say there is 1M between me and the boundary line I now do NOT have to insert a 30 minute fireproof window (£1500) which he had previously said I would have to have. <- Success #2

It might transpire at some point in the future that this little window falls out and a few extra building blocks go with it and the original 1.8 x 1m window reappears.... who knows? :)

Window police will catch yer. Or the tax man. Keep the bricks in case they bring back window tax.

Don't know who "he " is here.
I am old enough to remember mates of mine coming up to me in class and saying "Can I borrow your rubber, Johnny?" As that is my real name, and that is what we called them. Except for our Scots friends who called them "jodies".
"French letters" is quite funny seeing as how the frogs call them "capotes anglaises" i.e. English bonnets"!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Push fit is normally 40mm od and solvent weld is 42mm od classed as 1"1/2 pipe

Since I was last on here I have looked at all the fittings I have and all the lengths of pipe. bizarrely the pipe marked "40mm" on the outside still will not enter the supposed 40 mm push fit fitting I got. There is a range of pipes and a range of fittings which go from the rather bizarre Franke sink fittings to the one I mentioned earlier leading out of the house. Due to the quirkyness of the overflow I don't want to simply buy a more conventional sink waste with a more normal thread and pipe size on exit.
These have all been used before on this sink in another room and on other sinks, It will be a bit of a jigsaw puzzle sorting it out, nothing is obvious.
But I expect I'll get there in the end!
 
Ok, I'll kick it off.

What have we all got for our other halves for Valentines??!!
You already know what I've got, well it'll be arriving tomoz.
The card is fine but I (and another lady) were shocked that the card shop only had 3 cards for husbands buying for wives, and not much better for wives buying for husbands! Sez a lot I suppose.
W sez that Tesco was full of blokes buying flowers!

Flowers. Now there is a thing. Why do wimmins get so excited about them? Nevva unnerstoood it. I would need an anthropoligical explanation. :):):)
