[member=2166]bouboumum[/member] I haven't won on the ones that you have mentioned, but I have won on Badger the Button, Lucky Phone and the Free Birthdate ones. They aren't cons, it's just a numbers game and luck. What bugs me about the daily ones is how s-l-o-w some of them are because of all the ads and stuff on the page.

What has annoyed me today - the people that my daughter bought a house from! On the surface, it was all good, the survey didn't find anything major.

The first time they put the heating on, the boiler leaked! They called out a plumber, who took one look and condemned it. The circuit board was stuck on with sticky tape and another part was broken. So, they need a new boiler and because the pipe work is iffy too, it's gonna cost 4 grand!! The most annoying thing is that they asked if it was regularly serviced and were told that it had a service contract and had been checked within the last year - I think not!

Then, last night, she had a bath for the first time. She got up this morning to a puddle in the kitchen - there's a crack in the bath, which had been sealed up and hidden. She took the side panel off the bath and it's obvious that it's been like it for quite some time because of the water damage to the floor.

Oh, and then there was the garage: It said it needed some work. Yeah right, they got someone to take off the damaged asbestos on the roof and the whole garage fell down like a house of cards! So they now have a rockery instead of a garage.

I got home in a stinker of a mood work, had the lack of contact with a friend for a long period of time (annoying!) and then the thing to tip me over the top is I broke my TV.

It's almost April Fools and I'm the biggest fool around!

realising I hadn't done my washing this week and trying to work out whether wearing yesterday's t-shirt would count as clean until my washing dries ::)

[member=224]Topaz[/member], has your daughter had a chat to her solicitor about all this?

It might be harder to prove the surveyor was negligent, but if the vendor lied on the enquiries then they're likely in breach of contract.

I did tell her to get in touch with the solicitor, but I don't know if they did. I haven't seen her for a couple of weeks - she's enjoying her freedom too much ;)
I feel that the vendor was pulling a fast one and knew that the boiler was at the end of it's life. They've now replaced the boiler, so at least they have hot water and heating, but they now have no savings left as they weren't expecting such a large bill at such an early stage.

The house we bought was obviously surveyed and on DAY 1 of moving in the toilet system broke and one of our stairs fell through!!!

I can't even remember how much we paid for the survey but it was a middle tier one which cost a LOT!!

Bloody houses!!

Your not wrong there [member=1]Jon[/member] !

I went round today, and now the waste from the bath is leaking! Cue two men lying prostrate on the bathroom floor trying to fix it. Hopefully her next bath won't wash the kitchen floor below now!

Captchas! The last week or so they are insane! They are even on surveys now - click all of the mountains/storefronts/house numbers. Choose them all, click verify and it says try again! I counted 17 pages on one yesterday before it finally let me verify - what a waste of valuable time.

There are some great Captcha'esk methods I can choose for new people who sign up to TMS @Topaz

One of them involved them having to do a little puzzle before it will let them register lol!

Totally agree!
They drive you up the wall and I can't see the real point.
Never had 17 pages like you though!
That really is a total waste of time.

Bit annoyed at myself because I booked yesterday off work for my birthday and wish I'd booked today off too! Could have had a 5 day weekend, but instead I'm sat in a hot office with no air con and grumpy customers on the phone.

Oh and the presents my mum ordered for me haven't arrived yet and neither has some screen protectors I ordered myself 2 weeks ago, bit annoyed with amazon at the mo.

Happy Birthday for Yesterday!!

I'm at home today so it's not too bad but yesterday being stuck in the office was badddddddd

:eek: Not being able to get midwife appointments for the right weeks because they only work part time. Discussing birth plan at 36 weeks but I'll be over 37 weeks when I'm seen so hoping he's not early! Can't get to antenatal classes for the same reason - they're only doing them during the day when I need to work. So Dr Google it is :rolleyes:

Eek! Keep your legs crossed. My second was born at 37 weeks after an hours labour. I didn't even have time to get the birth plan out of my bag before she popped out. I wanted a water birth, but it didn't happen - no time to fill the bath lol.

I like the way someone else put it - baby hasn't read the birth plan so it's not really going matter what you put in it! As long as someone gets me to the hospital that's all I really need :p
