I would assume the more experienced gardener would have checked the area for hazards like cables etc before starting work

Lucky or maybe they are just more competent at their job. Anyway it will be sorted when VM come out and replace the cable and route it through luminous green conduit

Never thought of it tbh. I've had other gardeners do the same work before without issue. I will be making the next gardener aware for sure.

He's not come back so I think this over now. The cable comes in from the street out front. It runs through the garden VM buried it in the soil. It does have to exit at the garden border which is done at the closest point to tge wall where it enters the wall box It's been pinned to the pavers...

previous gardeners have successfully navigated around the cable so yeah he's paying for an issue he caused.

I didn't lay the cable virgin media did. They normally put them in bright green trunking they didn't on this occasion. When they eventually get round to replacing the cable I'll request they use that trunking

Yeah I knew the cable was there I understand it was accident it could have happened to any gardener black cable on black tarmac it's hard to see. I not bothered by that just the aftermath of how it's been handled. The invoice just stated Discount £50

It's been an eventful week. I had a gardener come and sort out my front garden and hedge. I work from home these days need and I need the internet to work. Anyway part way through the job I lose internet. I check all the usual suspects router and modem etc. I then go outside after a bit of...

DIY accident for me earlier last year. I was stripping wall paper off the chimney breast I was almost done then slipped and sliced the palm of my hand 2 inch gash pretty deep. I drove myself to A&E that evening luckily some glue and sterri strips was all that was needed any deeper and stiches...

Currently working my 3 month notice period. My new place did ask if I could start sooner alas my current employer said no, new place are fine with it.

My S22 ultra arrived yesterday. I've upgraded from the S20+ Now I always have my phone in vibrate and that is the biggest disappointment so far the vibration intensity compared to my S20 is so weak I am missing notifications cause of it. This could be a deal breaker may have to return it.

Our 6 month ordeal is now over, we exchanged and completed on the 22nd. :) Still surrounded by boxes but we are in. It was a surreal day, a rude awaking with a call from my solicitor at 7:30am saying it may not happen as he'd been trying to get in touch with our buyers solicitor all day the day...

This is what is happening for us I've been pushing to exchange today but it looks like its going to be exchange and completion tommorow

Our ordeal is still ongoing we've been given an ultimatum from the vendors we are buying off exchange no later than the 15th with completion on the 21st December failure to do so and they will relist the property for sale. The problem is our buyer's solicitor taking forever to do anything...

I also cancelled my DD with green as soon as the announcement landed. Moving house soon so I'd like to at least get something from Shell before then so I can settle any balance and close the account.

Any former Green customers heard from Shell Energy? I've had their welcome email and that's all. Provided a final read to green as requested at the end of September radio silence since.

This is why THG plummeted the other day https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/oct/12/thg-sheds-185bn-as-plans-to-win-investor-support-backfires

Finally had some progress on our sale this past few weeks, enquiries have all been satisfied, the buyers mortgage valuation was done on Monday. Today we got told that the buyers lender has down valued our sale by £10k. Which is exactly the amount over asking price the buyers offered originally...

I am not sure, I'll ask tommorow. I know they have had a survey done a very basic one the guy was only around for 20 minutes. They have done searches which I believe were completed on the 8th September.

Bit of a rant, we've been in the process of buying a new house since mid July. We accepted an offer on our house and had an offer accepted on a house we like within the same week. It's all been plodding along since then bar the occasional prod of solicitors where needed. Last Friday we...
