I like your girl names a lot Ember is really cute too... but with already Ginger dogs I can't have Ember, Scarlett or anything like that as half the tollers are named those names when we go to a roller meeting!
My mum said she went with my dad hunting and one of the dog was called Elliott and asked me if it was a popular dog name???
BTW, how do you girls spell Elliot/Elliott/Eliott/Eliot??

I am getting worried we are choosing one of those names that people will just get wrong all the time!!

Friend at school was Elliot. I think!

Danny's parents STILL write SammuAl... FFS it's Sammuel I even replied to an email to tell them! I think they like pissing me off!

Elliot could easily be spelt wrong but most people will prob get it right. Depends if it annoys you!

I would spell it "Elliot" if it was a first name and "Elliott" as a surname.

I can't see past "Piper" being my labrador's name- but saying that my last dog was called "Ben"

 

[Euronova]

Good point about first name and surname... I think that's how I like it too
So Elliot it is!

 

[babyloulou]

It's a lovely name V. It was on my shortlist too but Ste vetoed it cos he has a friend called "Elliott" (it's his surname but we all call him Elliott as a nickname) x

Arrgggggg...... did I say I expected problem with SIL's fiancé doing our extraction fan for the bathroom....
We asked him a while ago and after months of chasing he came today. Several times he said it was fine to extract the humidity into the loft but that it was also possible to have it go out of the roof outside... I never liked the idea of the humidity in the loft as we store things there and the roof is made of wooden beam so said several times.. I'd rather the humidity went out of the roof....
Anyway... he shows up today with the cheapest (and it turns loudest) of extraction fans (we didn't ask for anything cheap) and he just installed it going into the loft.
So I come back and ask OH what he did and he says (OH had no idea I said i wanted it out but was not asked today and just trusted him to do the job.. after all he is an electrician!)
and when I said to him I was not happy, he says he is sure it is fine.
I google the whole thing on the internet, and it is part of building regulations for the humidity to go out... and everyone on every blog said that you should sack anyone that would suggest doing it in the loft as they are basically rogue traders cutting corners...
Now he has asked £60 for it... (£45 for the fan and £15 for other bits and bobs to put it in)... while we train his fiancé FOC every week (we normally charge £50./hour)... and it turns out we have a shit noisy fan that is not even installed properly and probably going to have to pay a proper electrician to fix it....

 

[SBB]

Grrr V I'd be so pissed off!!! Can you make him sort it? What an idiot...
Surely though the damp can't literally just go into the loft - it must be vented out through the roof??

Lou stop ruining the name piper for me!!!

[babyloulou]

Hey what you saying about my beautiful dog Suz? Are you saying he's not good enough for your baby to be named after??


V- sorry He sounds like an idiot!! I'd be getting OH to sort it out.....

 

[Euronova]

I am so mad, I feel like crying....
How do you tell your SIL her boyfriend is a rogue trader.... OH went up and he had left all is crap there including 2 screwdrivers... he had not put the insulation back, the cabling looks messy so now I am worried to leave the house at anytime in case it starts a fire...
I am having an electrician up there tomorrow to check it and quote us for put it right....

What we will do about the fact that we always help and are so generous to them when it feels we only get crap from them.... I have no idea... he is supposed to wire our garage.... but i do not trust him, it's the second botch job he has done for us... I've had enough and I feel like crying now...

I just wish I was in France, my BIL is an electrician and a great one, he would sort us out and do our garage and all... I just miss my family... I really have enough of the ILs now...

 

[SBB]

He sounds so dodgy... I don't know what to suggest. Other than for your OH toto stop the free pt sessions..

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

I would just stop using him V

 

[Euronova]

yes it's just he will notice if we have the garage done by someone else... OH wants to speak to them... he says he is not motivated training his sister if things are going to be like that.... there is no solution really as even if he agreed to have it go through the roof, it would be so embarrassing and I would still not trust him to do anything else.... so we can't win

 

[babyloulou]

Get OH to talk to his sister as the next training session?? It's his family.... Xx

 

[SBB]

Jess how was the counselling?

V, does the extractor literally extract into the loft? Or out through the roof but through the loft?

X x x

 

[Euronova]

Thanks girls... we spoke to a few tradesmen this morning and it's unanimous... you cannot extract a bathroom into the loft cavity.
As the fan is so loud it feels like a plane is taking off in the bathroom and I am worried about the cabling... we decided to turn it all off.
I have done bits of electric and I am usually the DIY person in the house. I was so fuming last night that I went to look on Amazon to get another one and thought i might just look on youtube and fit it myself (if me and bump can fit under the roof ) and it seems that his super discounted fan is not even that cheap at all and if that is a discounted price it should be top of the range and be so silent you should wonder if it's on.....

All in all, it's like we burned £60 when I had just saved just that on the blackout blinds by getting some cheap Argos ones instead of splashing on nicer made to order ones
I could so spend £60 on something for us or the baby and it gets me fuming....
Already wasted £400 crashing the car this week...

How are the little ones? Is Ben any better? what about Lili?
I think I might not go on with the yoga... I like it a lot and it's really good for me, but i am hoping to get back into swimming and i cannot afford to spend anymore money on non-essential things... I have a £10 DVD that I need to do more often and hopefully that will do!

Suz- just posted at the same time, it doesn't go out, it extracts into the loft, instead of through the loft and out of the roof.

 

[Euronova]

JUST GOOGLED THE BLOODY FAN HE HAD PUT IN AND IT IS WORTH £20
THE PISS TAKING SEEMS TO HAVE NO BOUNDARIES

 

[Euronova]

Ok went for it "crazy french pregnant beast" style and left him a voicemail saying all that is wrong and basically saying, we will get someone else to fix it, I just want our money back!
I never really deal with prob with OH family but you know what, it concerns me too and it is my house...

Only have a secOnd to reply as am going out now, but I literally cannot believe this. Who the f**k, let alone an 'electrician' thinks that it's ok to extract steam into a loft? I am lost for words, what a total total idiot cowboy. Seriously unbelievable!!

[babyloulou]

That sounds really dangerous!!!
