Quiet spell in here, is everyone waiting for the budget?
Where does one get quartz worktops? Am I right in thinking that if we went to a specialist, we might save money on prices from Magnet etc? I've seen praise for Imperial Granite and Marble, do they also do cutting, drainage grooves, etc if you give them measurements?

This mass of overgrown bushes is growing on the side of a garage that's being demolished next week.
It includes:
- Buddleia
- St John's Wort
- Privet
- Holly
- Lavender
Lots of brambles, and something else that I can't identify.
Would it be possible, or worthwhile, to salvage any of it?
If so, how?
It would have to be dug up and moved somewhere, but it would be a shame to see it all just end up in a skip if there was a chance it could make it.

Yes we did - and in the chat today we discovered that she's going to be really reasonable about it and doesn't want to put us to extra expense. It helps that the architect lives on the same street as well, and that she built an extension about 20 years ago that the woman we bought the house off was very unreasonable about - she doesn't want to be like here.

Our neighbour seemed a bit concerned about our pending extension and the need for party wall surveyors etc.
I wasn't sure why until she came round for a chat and brought a sheaf of letters she'd been receiving from companies as soon as our planning permission came through.
I didn't realise there was such an ambulance-chasing industry around scaring people whose neighbours are getting work done into thinking it's going to be a nightmare.
Capitalism <3

I turned my phone off yesterday so I could enjoy an outing to the zoo without being stuck looking for the score.
Very glad I did, apparently we were awful.
It's definitely the hope that kills you, I thought we could have got 4-6 points off the last two games, but instead we look like we're heading down already.

If only there was some kind of system where clear and obvious errors by referees could be reviewed and corrected...
