@deedeexx,
O.M.G.
I haven’t laughed so long and so hard for such a time!!!!
The lads arrived this morning at 7.45 " my phone was still on silent as I had forgotten to change it back after being at the hospital so did I hear the alarm when it went off... errrr.... NOPE. OH MY! Throw on clothes, get some lippy, open door.
THEY HAD MY DOOR PANEL!!! SO EXCITED. That’s another story!
They were just going about their business " windows out... new windows going in " cold, dust everywhere (who gives a .... " not moi) " when, I had to have a visit the little ladies room " as you do. Now, in our house, we have no locks on ANY doors except my bedroom door " which, for obvious reasons, has never been used (k " no-one rub that one in a?) So... I quietly snuck into my room, turn the little locky thing... and went about my business!!!!!!
I then go back to the bedroom door.... and.... CANNOT turn the lock " the thread had gone. Oh oh oh oh oh oh .... what to do.....oh oh oh.... so.... LES is in the other bedroom " tentatively, I say “er....Les, Les... are you there....” , bit louder... “er LES LES ARE YOU THERE?” then louder still “LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLES..... HELP " I’m locked in”
Les shouts to Archie... Archie runs up the stairs... K " big discussion " how to get the lady out of her bedroom " so, can they climb up over the conservatory and thru the bedroom window.... nah, too dangerous " ice all over. So... there is a little gap at the bottom of the door " OH, the lock is only on my side of the door " just a little hole in the wood.... so.... they pass thru allen keys.... I say “bigger, bigger, I need bigger” " chuckles all around ..... screwdriver too big..... next, take the door frame off the outside the bedroom.... nope, no access to the lock... oh no no no......SO................. absolutely laughing our heads off as this was truly one of those blonde moments never to be forgotten - never has a man made so much effort go get into my bedroom before " the Milk Tray Man (tho you may not know who that is " Brit TV advert from 20 years back) had NOTHING on these guys. THEY WERE FAB.....
SO " HACKSAW BLADE...... BLOOMING HACKSAW BLADE AND THEY HAD TO SAW THE LOCK IN HALF. Had I not been and gone and tinkled already " I would have peed myself laughing. Sorry.... too much information there... ha! It was hysterical. Now these guys are from Launa Windows " they have a TV ad over here.... ack.... can’t download it.... later on that....
Anyhoo.... as they sing on the ad - THE LAUNA MAN CAN! is the logo and expression in the West Country.... and my LAUNA MAN certainly COULD. They were fab " we laughed so much. They said I am a joy to work for " HA! " which made my day. They also said I look 35 not 44 " OH..... they can come here again!!!!!!!!!! <their specs were in the van of course> Made them lots of tea, took lots of pics of them " my windows look lovely, and I have had the biggest laugh today. Nothing was too much trouble and of course, we have nattered all day " they were so apologetic about hitting the gas valve.... I said ‘it happens.... no worries.
AND I HAVE MY LOVELY DOOR PANEL. Now... the doors won’t be fitted ‘til tomorrow so you’ll have to wait to see it in situ " but I am so happy with it. It’s quite simple.... but it’s me, my design, it’s just MINE and I don’t care what anyone else thinks of it " every time I walk through it I will smile BIG.
It’s a beautiful day...... verra cold, frost still on the grass and mist rising off the river. STUNNING. My house is completely trashed..... but hey ho....I am warm now. Bless those Launa Men " Archie and Les.
<can you imagine if no-one had been in the house when I locked the bedroom door " OH MY!!!!!! Rapunzel, Rapunzel..... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhh.... too late " haircut!!!!!!!!!>
(man.... how long do photos take to upload on dial up " sheeeeeeeeesh! Answer " FOREVER!)
