The value of shopping around
Last night I got a quote for carpet. £680, or so. Today I got some new advice and a second quote. £328. Hmm.
Last night I put the first coat of paint on the bathroom walls. This morning I painted the radiator in that room.
Later this morning, I had a half hour meeting with an Israeli nurseryman.
Life is still on that edge.

It’s even more annoying when you’ve just bought plane tickets, feeling chuffed because they’re cheap. Go on the site a few days later and they’re £30 cheaper!
