1 (Tape 073801)

Jane (PS19L) [1] I think the Labour Party's heart is in the right place, they want to take a positive approach and do what they can to help industry, to train, to put more money into training youngsters for industry then we have a skill work force, not a cheap, not a cheap unskilled labour force, er, you know, which is what we, what's happening now, because we've just not been trained, they're cutting the training, but it's all the same, anyway you know, I, I, I don't know, you say what can I do for ya, well er in the short run not much except to help the, the people who are on lower income and the children through the budget er which will be introduced, it'll be that why er through er child benefits and through er high, high benefits and through er, er lower taxes for the, everybody up to er twenty odd, twenty five thousand year or something, so, erm I mean that's in the short run and little that can be done, it's not as much as anybody would like, you put more and more into, into er, into training, er more money into industry to help them to invest, er you know you can have a sort of regional development banks to help industry to invest these in, in each of the regions, but I mean the, these are the positive plans and not like this one who's just letting things go.
John (PS19M) [2] If, if under, if and I hope that your crowd get in, see, I think
Jane (PS19L) [3] Yeah
John (PS19M) [4] as I say I'm just fed up with this lot, what is the outlook on er income tax?
Jane (PS19L) [5] Well
John (PS19M) [6] Cos I mean we know it's going up whoever gets in they're gonna put it up
Jane (PS19L) [7] well you know, John Smith laid out his budget for the next, study for the, to cover the next two years and there, I mean there's no intention to, to change it in the foreseeable future, I mean they've laid it out for two years so that the basic rate stays the same, that the personal allowances are being increased so that this will take a lot of lower paid people out of tax and that coupled with the child benefit will make everybody up to about twenty two thousand a year better off, and then from there they'll be a, a, a range of people who to it won't make much difference
John (PS19M) [8] No
Jane (PS19L) [9] overall certainly if they've got children, but if we get above thirty, forty thousand a year, it'll take more the other people who've gained so much
John (PS19M) [10] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [11] out of the last ten years
Jane (PS19L) [12] Yeah, yeah it's not, it's not been fair
John (PS19M) [13] Ooh aye it's not, it's not fair, I agree
Jane (PS19L) [14] and not, not only on income tax but on poll tax local tax
John (PS19M) [15] Yeah, yeah
Jane (PS19L) [16] That's right
John (PS19M) [17] cos I mean that, that's just a joke that
Jane (PS19L) [18] do you think Labour would alter the poll tax and put it back to its sort of original sort of rating system?
Jane (PS19L) [19] We're going back to a kind of rating system with the different assessment on valuations
Jane (PS19L) [20] Yeah, it's fair int it?
[21] The bigger the house the more money you should pay.
Jane (PS19L) [22] the Tories are gonna introduce their alternative, but they're still going to ... through this banding system, the whole objective of that is to, is to make sure that the better off people don't pay their full whack
John (PS19M) [23] Mm
Jane (PS19L) [24] instead of paying er, you know, three or four times in a, for a big house to, to a very modern poor house
John (PS19M) [25] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [26] er they only pay sort of one and a half or twice that's the, that's the purpose of the Tories
John (PS19M) [27] Well what el what's the other alternative for this VAT? cos I mean it was the Tories who brought this VAT system into operation, I mean it's wrong
Jane (PS19L) [28] Well
John (PS19M) [29] when you think about it, it's wrong you're paying tax on your wages at source and then you go to the shops and you've got to pay tax on your goods again
Jane (PS19L) [30] Well I hope that
Jane (PS19L) [31] That's right
John (PS19M) [32] it's totally wrong
Jane (PS19L) [33] when we got a

2 (Tape 073802)

Jane (PS19L) [34] A taxation system in place which would be fair, which means that the people in the big houses pay more, then we can do something about, maybe making the local people er pay more and reducing central taxes, reducing the VAT, it's not gonna be quick but
John (PS19M) [35] No.
Jane (PS19L) [36] there's, there's no commitment to reduce VAT in the, in the Labour manifesto, but I mean er that will be the spirit of what we wanna do to make the people
John (PS19M) [37] I hope you can, I hope you can do something with it, because being truthful I just, it's just
Jane (PS19L) [38] I'm just warming my hands, it's cold outside
Jane (PS19L) [39] Yeah you're welcome
John (PS19M) [40] it's just

Margaret (PS19S) [576] and they've taught her
Madge (PS19R) [577] he's recommended to her that instead of making the third bedroom bigger, to make four bedrooms because it would increase the value of the house more.

Madge (PS19R) [593] and also
Chris (PS19P) [594] So where they gonna put the, the other bedroom?
Margaret (PS19S) [595] At the side.

Madge (PS19R) [laugh]
Margaret (PS19S) [858] He knows he's doing this thing.
Chris (PS19P) [859] Is it, do you think it might be as well that it's a bit lighter Jane, cos I was reading a smashing tip
Margaret (PS19S) [860] Oh yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [861] in one of me magazines to blacken your curtains out, cos I thought I'm gonna do that on Joanne's
Jane (PS19L) [862] Yeah I don't

Jane (PS19L) [864] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [865] to fasten a black bin bag
Jane (PS19L) [866] Oh yeah, yeah.

Jane (PS19L) [872] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [873] Open up er, er a, a bin liner and pin it in between the two
Jane (PS19L) [874] In between the two.
Madge (PS19R) [875] Oh that's a good idea.
Chris (PS19P) [876] so it's completely black.
Jane (PS19L) [877] Blacks it out.
Chris (PS19P) [878] Blacks it out.
Jane (PS19L) [879] It is a good idea.

Chris (PS19P) [886] Yeah, yeah.
Madge (PS19R) [887] Upset him.

Chris (PS19P) [1239] Er, just as well I did have, yeah, God knows where anything is now what, what you have to do with that now
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [1240] eh Jane do you know what?
[1241] Mike rang the solicitor up yesterday and he said that he was sending out the contracts to us
Jane (PS19L) [1242] Yes.
Chris (PS19P) [1243] that he just received them like, about half an hour before Mike rang up, so he said I've got to get me secretary to type them out and then we, I'll send them to you and we've got to sign 'em, then what happens from there? ...
Jane (PS19L) [1244] Once you've signed the contracts?
Chris (PS19P) [1245] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1246] You've got to have a witness, haven't you, sign it in front of somebody?
[1247] Is that the one, no?
Chris (PS19P) [1248] I don't think
Jane (PS19L) [1249] Send it back and it should be pretty soon after that isn't it?
Chris (PS19P) [1250] Well he said Mike must have said, what has been holding it up if I, we were under the impression that when she left London, she was finished with her property
Jane (PS19L) [1251] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1252] cos it was put in the hands of Black Horse by Miss
Jane (PS19L) [1253] That's right.
Chris (PS19P) [1254] and they were dealing with it
Jane (PS19L) [1255] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1256] well seemingly it must be as simple as that
Jane (PS19L) [1257] No.
Chris (PS19P) [1258] so she's been dealing with her Manchester solicitors and a London solicitor
Jane (PS19L) [1259] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1260] so this is what's been holding everything up.
Jane (PS19L) [1261] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1262] So Mike must, said to him well, the thing is well we wanted to really get in before Easter
Jane (PS19L) [1263] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1264] so he said you don't have to move on a Friday cos Mike said well do we have to move Friday?
[1265] So he said oh no you can choose any day of the week.
Jane (PS19L) [1266] That's right, yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1267] I suppose it's mutual agreement?
Jane (PS19L) [1268] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1269] I mean we'll move any day, but it's whether Miss will you see
Jane (PS19L) [1270] Yeah, the only reason most people choose a Friday is because they get you over the weekend
Chris (PS19P) [1271] They get you over the weekend yeah, so erm, we'll just have to see what happens and have, just have the contracts out.
Jane (PS19L) [1272] Yeah, it should be a week then, shouldn't it?
Chris (PS19P) [1273] Hopefully, er what did you say five working days?
Jane (PS19L) [1274] It's normally five working days, yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1275] Mm, mm, you see, cos even if we sort of made it for like the middle of next week, er, no not next week, the week after
Jane (PS19L) [1276] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1277] would bring us like the Wednesday, that would be my birthday actually the Wednesday
Jane (PS19L) [1278] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1279] but it'll make it Easter weekend
Jane (PS19L) [1280] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1281] we'll, we wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind doing that
Jane (PS19L) [1282] No.
Chris (PS19P) [1283] because it'd give Mike an extra few days anyway, could actually have
Jane (PS19L) [1284] Get settled.
Chris (PS19P) [1285] the Wednesday off ... and all the following week
Jane (PS19L) [1286] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1287] which would give him a good break really to get a few things done.
Jane (PS19L) [1288] Yeah.
Madge (PS19R) [1289] Well it'll all be
Chris (PS19P) [1290] I'm not doing any, I'm, I'm, all this bloody panicking about getting a flaming gas fire sorted out and getting a carpet done, I'm not, not bothering, we'll just have to rough it for a while.
Jane (PS19L) [1291] Let 'em rough it for a week.
Chris (PS19P) [1292] Mm, we'll rough it for a while, because I know the downers, the only thing that Mike wants to do is put the fence and the gate up the side
Jane (PS19L) [1293] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1294] which Don said we could do
Jane (PS19L) [1295] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1296] to sort the dog out really
Jane (PS19L) [1297] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1298] but everything else we can sort, getting there, it's not as if we're gonna need a bloody fire is it Jane?
Jane (PS19L) [1299] Not really.
Chris (PS19P) [1300] I mean do you find you, you use your fire more?
Jane (PS19L) [1301] We have been doing over the past few nights
Chris (PS19P) [1302] Have ya?
Jane (PS19L) [1303] because I've been turning the heating, it's the
Chris (PS19P) [1304] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1305] I don't know, from tea time it seems to warm up the house
Chris (PS19P) [1306] Mm.
Jane (PS19L) [1307] and it's boiling hot
Chris (PS19P) [1308] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1309] from sort of eight o'clock so I could
Chris (PS19P) [1310] Then it cools off
Jane (PS19L) [1311] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1312] don't it?
Jane (PS19L) [1313] So I just put it on just to tick
Chris (PS19P) [1314] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1315] the room over really ... but I mean if you can keep your heating on for that little bit of length of time
Chris (PS19P) [1316] Mm, that's what I'll do I don't think we'll use the fire that much, I mean we, I, did I put it on?
[1317] No I didn't put it on last night, but I did leave me heating on, it clicks off at nine o'clock, but the house was warm
Jane (PS19L) [1318] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1319] and we went to bed anyway
Jane (PS19L) [1320] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1321] just gone ten.
Jane (PS19L) [1322] That's what, I mean we used to turn ours off of about nine, half nine and like you say it just used to tick
Chris (PS19P) [1323] Mm.
Jane (PS19L) [1324] over till about eleven, you could just feel it cooling down
Chris (PS19P) [1325] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1326] but, because I've been knocking it off that bit earlier
Chris (PS19P) [1327] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1328] sort of five minutes
Chris (PS19P) [1329] And how have you fi I think we're gonna end up like with a fire like yours to be honest, because we don't want to alter that fireplace if we can help it
Jane (PS19L) [1330] No, it's ever so nice.
Chris (PS19P) [1331] because we do like it
Jane (PS19L) [1332] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1333] and we thought well one night, I mean it's a bloody big radiator in that room
Jane (PS19L) [1334] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1335] which I think would be enough
Jane (PS19L) [1336] You wouldn't you'd probably find that you would use it half a dozen times through the year.
Chris (PS19P) [1337] Yeah, yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1338] No I won't get rid of mine.
Chris (PS19P) [1339] Have you sort of not, I suppose you haven't found out money- wise what it's costing ya?
Jane (PS19L) [1340] No, not really I should imagine it's not, I don't know you see, we don't, we'd of had the heating on anyway
Chris (PS19P) [1341] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1342] so I don't suppose it's cost us any more
Chris (PS19P) [1343] No.
Jane (PS19L) [1344] because we've hardly had it on.
Chris (PS19P) [1345] Mm.
Madge (PS19R) [1346] Still you
Chris (PS19P) [1347] You do find it warm don't ya?
Jane (PS19L) [1348] I do, yeah,
Chris (PS19P) [1349] Have you got a couple of settings on yours is it a high and a low?
Jane (PS19L) [1350] Well I've just got high and low that's all.
Chris (PS19P) [1351] But I mean it'll give you er a wattage er, whatever it is
Jane (PS19L) [1352] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [1353] it pumps out anyway?
Jane (PS19L) [1354] well I suppose so, I don't know what we've got.
Madge (PS19R) [1355] The
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [1356] yeah, because as I say something like what Jane's got would fit in that fireplace, just right
Jane (PS19L) [1357] Mm.
Madge (PS19R) [1358] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1359] which like I say saw one up at erm ... I told you that fireplace shop on the corner, mind you I think we'll get Edwards in, he had some in about a hundred and sixty quid or so
Jane (PS19L) [1360] You should start looking round.
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [1361] erm I mean really ideally Mike would like one of those that actually fits perfectly
Jane (PS19L) [1362] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1363] in, in the fireplace
Jane (PS19L) [1364] I know what you mean.
Chris (PS19P) [1365] and it's got a back to it
Jane (PS19L) [1366] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1367] and it sort of throws the heat out into the room.
Jane (PS19L) [1368] Yeah, yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1369] Well I could, it could, it wouldn't justify it.
Jane (PS19L) [1370] But Chris I can't see them I can't see them making a fire like that that your heat's gonna go all up the chimney, no way.
Chris (PS19P) [1371] No, but what I'm saying is
Jane (PS19L) [1372] Josh come on
Chris (PS19P) [1373] if there wasn't
Jane (PS19L) [1374] come on Josh, Josh
Chris (PS19P) [1375] if there wasn't a good amount of radiator in that room
Jane (PS19L) [1376] Josh
Chris (PS19P) [1377] it would justify having a fire like that
Madge (PS19R) [1378] Come on
Jane (PS19L) [1379] Yeah, yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1380] but because it's got such a good
Madge (PS19R) [1381] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1382] Radiator.
Chris (PS19P) [1383] you know cos I told you Mike actually fancies one of these that actually fits right in the fireplace
Jane (PS19L) [1384] I know what you mean next door
Chris (PS19P) [1385] and there's a backing to it and it pumps it out into the room, they're dead hot
Jane (PS19L) [1386] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1387] but I don't think this room needs it Jane.
Madge (PS19R) [1388] No.
Jane (PS19L) [1389] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1390] I think it'll be a waste, and I don't want to go to the expense of
Jane (PS19L) [1391] Well they are bloody expensive.
Chris (PS19P) [1392] because
Madge (PS19R) [1393] It slipped [laugh]
Chris (PS19P) [1394] I think the fires are about three hundred quid
Jane (PS19L) [1395] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1396] but it's not that, you'd have to have a lot of the fireplace ripped up.
Jane (PS19L) [1397] Mm you would
Chris (PS19P) [1398] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1399] it's only a little square.
Chris (PS19P) [1400] Yeah, we'd have to have the pillars taken off
Jane (PS19L) [1401] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1402] and everything like that, so all that would have to be redecorated.
Jane (PS19L) [1403] Whereas like that one of ours, it'd be ideal wouldn't it?
Chris (PS19P) [1404] It be it just work right
Jane (PS19L) [1405] Must have your chimney swept.
Chris (PS19P) [1406] That's what I want to get that number off you for that as well because I some [...] would suggest anyway
Jane (PS19L) [1407] I got it somewhere yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1408] wouldn't he?
Jane (PS19L) [1409] I got it somewhere, I'll root it out for ya and I forgot to see Hilda about that
Madge (PS19R) [1410] Michael shout Mike
Chris (PS19P) [1411] There's no rush for it.
Madge (PS19R) [1412] Michael shout louder
Jane (PS19L) [1413] she's gone on holiday now.
Chris (PS19P) [1414] you know, some time
Jane (PS19L) [1415] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1416] if you think about it.
Madge (PS19R) [1417] Mike
Jane (PS19L) [1418] Funny enough I saw her yesterday
Madge (PS19R) [1419] in a minute or two
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Jane (PS19L) [1420] and she started talking about putting the freezer in the back garden
Bill (PS19T) [1421] Is it worth my taking a coat on?
Jane (PS19L) [1422] and that
Chris (PS19P) [1423] Oh.
Jane (PS19L) [1424] and it just slipped my mind.
Chris (PS19P) [1425] Well just any time, we won't be doing nothing until the end of May anyway.
Madge (PS19R) [1426] Michael, Michael shout Mike
Jane (PS19L) [1427] As soon as she comes back I promise I'll ask her
Madge (PS19R) [1428] Mike, shout Mike, Mike
Chris (PS19P) [1429] But what would you, see Edward said
Madge (PS19R) [1430] shout Chris
Chris (PS19P) [1431] when we decided we want something he'll come down and
Jane (PS19L) [1432] Be careful
Chris (PS19P) [1433] sort it all out.
Jane (PS19L) [1434] sort it out
Madge (PS19R) [1435] shout Chris
Chris (PS19P) [1436] Hopefully we can get away with that room Jane with just maybe having to emulsion it
Jane (PS19L) [1437] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1438] because I mean once you've taken all the pictures down, I think it did need it
Jane (PS19L) [1439] She's a smoker int she?
[1440] That's
Chris (PS19P) [1441] very much.
Jane (PS19L) [1442] Yeah that'll be your main thing then.
Chris (PS19P) [1443] Rather than decorate I think we'll just
Jane (PS19L) [1444] Paint it.
Chris (PS19P) [1445] er emulsion over it and maybe put a border around the picture frames.
Jane (PS19L) [1446] This is in the back room?
Chris (PS19P) [1447] Front room.
Jane (PS19L) [1448] Mm.
Chris (PS19P) [1449] Yeah, leave the front room, we'll have to, first week or so we'll have to live in that back room
Jane (PS19L) [1450] Yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [1451] until we've got [...]
Madge (PS19R) [laugh] ...
Jane (PS19L) [1452] Mike, Michael shout Chris, he does say Chris
Madge (PS19R) [1453] It's quite an easy one that, int it?
Jane (PS19L) [1454] say Chris, it's not that he can't though Madge, he just won't
Madge (PS19R) [1455] No.
Jane (PS19L) [1456] I've heard him say Deana and Stacey
Chris (PS19P) [1457] Mm.
Madge (PS19R) [1458] Yeah.
Jane (PS19L) [1459] loads of times, he does moan mumma now he does that quite a lot

Jane (PS19L) [1639] Came up like new
Lynn (PS19U) [1640] cos you can have a real good go at the wheels that way outside
Jane (PS19L) [1641] Yeah, outside, it's like my pram, I mean, I was, Stacey was going in hospital last year to have her adeno adenoids out and Sue was having him and I thought well, he was too big for his carrycot, but take the pram down and he's got nothing to sleep in ... and er, I put him in it, it been six months since it was do well since he started using it, so I give that a good going over and the pram wheels come up lovely

Lynn (PS19U) [1665] I know a changing bag could cost sixteen

Lynn (PS19U) [1732] That is isn't it? ...

Jane (PS19L) [1735] and it's everything just to stop you getting at [...] ... what, well get it then ... yeah, I've, I don't mind some of it, I've not had a bit of marzipan for ... I don't mind these erm almond slices, I quite like them, but I think it must be the texture of the marzipan
Lynn (PS19U) [1736] Mm, I love it, they do erm, German erm marzipan bar, chocolate bar
Jane (PS19L) [1737] Oh aye
Lynn (PS19U) [1738] have you ever made marzipan?
Jane (PS19L) [1739] No
Lynn (PS19U) [1740] I did it in the sixth form, it's really hard, it takes ages
Jane (PS19L) [1741] Does it?
Lynn (PS19U) [1742] That's why I would think, it's ground almonds they're expensive
Jane (PS19L) [1743] That's right, yeah
Lynn (PS19U) [1744] it, and it doesn't taste anything like, I mean this'll be probably be home, nearest to homemade, but that
Jane (PS19L) [1745] Mm
Lynn (PS19U) [1746] bright yellow stuff it doesn't taste like that at all
Jane (PS19L) [1747] No

Jane (PS19L) [1749] Here
Lynn (PS19U) [1750] a subtle taste, you know it [...] need loads of ground almonds
Jane (PS19L) [1751] Mm

Jane (PS19L) [1753] That come off rather easily, would you like my marzipan?
Lynn (PS19U) [1754] Hmm, well leave it there and I'll see how I go, cos I've had one carrot and I, sort of like, I had your carrot and I'm putting mine [...] ... quite rich though that's the thing, I quite like that bit there cos that's like brown sugar ... erm
Jane (PS19L) [1755] It's lovely
Lynn (PS19U) [1756] Carl started me on this, he was into carrot cake for years and
Jane (PS19L) [1757] Yeah?
Lynn (PS19U) [1758] mm ... and it's similar to a cake we used to have when he used to love erm [...] when we were engaged he introduced [...]
Jane (PS19L) [1759] That's another name for it int it apparently
Lynn (PS19U) [1760] Oh is it oh it was the same, but it was taller, and that sort of buttery cream that was all on top and that had nuts and things
Jane (PS19L) [1761] Mm
Lynn (PS19U) [1762] rather than
Jane (PS19L) [1763] we had, I told you, at this meal we went to, on Saturday they had erm carrot cake, but that was completely covered in like this cream cheese
Lynn (PS19U) [1764] Mm sounds nice, mm
Jane (PS19L) [1765] it was gorgeous but Chris was saying that Tescos do one, but they call it passion cake which is the same thing
Lynn (PS19U) [1766] Oh the same, mm ...

Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Jane (PS19L) [1860] on your travels
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Jane (PS19L) [1861] you ought to see underneath the fridge, he does this in the kitchen and they've all gone under the fridge, when you're at the top shop or any other places where the [...] will you have a look on the cards in the window, I'm looking for a slide, you know, but a smaller one for him for the garden for the summer really, cos that's just about had it that one ... [...] ?
[1862] Cos you can only use them up to about four I would think cos other, other than that they get a bit too big for them don't they? ... [clears throat] he could do with a little slide in the garden ...
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Mary (PS19V) [1863] he will, Christmas
Jane (PS19L) [1864] I'd like to get it sorted out a bit for him really before the summer starts
Mary (PS19V) [1865] It'll be ideal
Jane (PS19L) [1866] Mm
Mary (PS19V) [1867] if you can just fasten him in the back it'll be smashing won't it?
Jane (PS19L) [1868] Well there's the gate, he can only go so far with the gate anyway, so it won't really matter ... yeah [clears throat] yeah ... you ought to see all the pegs at the back of me fridge ...
Mary (PS19V) [1869] Go and watch daddy [...] bring the tree down?
[1870] Watch it Michael, it's coming ... yeah, oh you have got hiccups?
Jane (PS19L) [1871] He's had them quite a bit these last few days [...] , they seem to come like that don't they?
Mary (PS19V) [1872] Mm
Jane (PS19L) [1873] Then he'll go a month probably [...]
Mary (PS19V) [1874] there we are it's down
Jane (PS19L) [1875] Oh, fence nearly came with it [laugh] ...
Mary (PS19V) [1876] it'll seem funny won't it to see that tree down?
Jane (PS19L) [1877] I do think it's lightened this room up though when you think it [...] gone
Mary (PS19V) [1878] Yeah I mean it's better when you took that one from down there wasn't it?
Jane (PS19L) [1879] Oh yeah
Mary (PS19V) [1880] Yeah ...
Jane (PS19L) [1881] yeah ... the only thing about having those others of course you can see through the windows, but there's not a lot you can do about that.
[1882] ... John had a word with the bloke across the back there
Mary (PS19V) [1883] Oh did he?
Jane (PS19L) [1884] about, you know the garage?
Mary (PS19V) [1885] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [1886] So he said he'd got no objections to John moving it back
Mary (PS19V) [1887] Oh well ... mm
Jane (PS19L) [1888] we'll probably end up doing a bit to the garden this year as opposed to er ... you know going to, we were gonna go down to Somerset in June weren't we?
Mary (PS19V) [1889] Mm
Jane (PS19L) [1890] But that, with things as they are we might as well just hang fire
Mary (PS19V) [1891] Well, it's no use spending money you haven't got is it?
Jane (PS19L) [1892] No, well the thing is I mean you're talking of five or six hundred pounds
Mary (PS19V) [1893] This is it
Jane (PS19L) [1894] and if you can't replace it ... I mean we've booked, we've booked through, erm,Au August anyway, we're definitely going in August to Southport
Mary (PS19V) [1895] and it might be a little bit cheaper for yourself than going all that way, it certainly won't, it certainly won't cost you as much to get there anyway
Jane (PS19L) [1896] No, well that's it int it? ... so ... [clears throat] ... er if things are reasonable we might just go away for a long weekend or something, go find us a place in Southport for a weekend
Mary (PS19V) [1897] Yeah ...
Jane (PS19L) [1898] but really I mean you need the odd week at home don't you really to sort of do bits to it, you can't work and do it
Mary (PS19V) [1899] Well I mean I'm not going away this year, but it's not really bothered me an awful lot
Jane (PS19L) [1900] No no
Mary (PS19V) [1901] so
Jane (PS19L) [1902] you can't
Mary (PS19V) [1903] [...] gone to erm, oh I think I told you didn't I?
Jane (PS19L) [1904] Yeah
Mary (PS19V) [1905] Gone to Windsor today
Jane (PS19L) [1906] that's right
Mary (PS19V) [1907] and a day Eastbourne tomorrow, now that's a nice little break
Jane (PS19L) [1908] Mm
Mary (PS19V) [1909] just, just a few hours like that
Jane (PS19L) [1910] yeah ...
Mary (PS19V) [1911] [...] see some places you see go from Friday to Monday don't they?
Jane (PS19L) [1912] That's alright, I think that's ideal
Mary (PS19V) [1913] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [1914] I think it's a good time to spend in the garden to be honest, I mean you can't, you can't, it's not really long enough to try and do it at weekends, not if he wants to move that garage back, it'll probably take the best part of the week to sort that out
Mary (PS19V) [1915] Oh it will yeah, cos you've got to empty it and
Jane (PS19L) [1916] That's right
Mary (PS19V) [1917] move your swing haven't ya and
Jane (PS19L) [1918] yeah
Mary (PS19V) [1919] everything, yeah and prepare the ground
Jane (PS19L) [1920] Yeah I don't know whether that swing will end up going to the tip if it comes down, it's a bit rusty int it?
[1921] ... Seen better days
Mary (PS19V) [1922] Just depends if the frame's strong
Jane (PS19L) [1923] Yeah
Mary (PS19V) [1924] you know you could always put a bit of paint on it
Jane (PS19L) [1925] mm
Mary (PS19V) [1926] to stop the rust, it just depends if it's strong enough to hold them, the frame
Jane (PS19L) [1927] mm, it's done well though, I mean
Mary (PS19V) [1928] You might, you might get a little something out of it for Michael
Jane (PS19L) [1929] Mm, we haven't got a seat on it
Mary (PS19V) [1930] Oh dear
Jane (PS19L) [1931] I don't know what happened to that one that granddad made Deana ... I know
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Mary (PS19V) [1932] is John going to the tip with all this tree?
Jane (PS19L) [1933] Mm ... me [...] broke as well
Mary (PS19V) [1934] Oh God
Jane (PS19L) [1935] it's alright having two, you never get two for twelve months
Mary (PS19V) [1936] Oh
Jane (PS19L) [1937] it's erm, it's not too bad this time of year, you can peg out, the legs come off it, you know that brown one that you bought me?
Mary (PS19V) [1938] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [1939] I mean I've had it since, I remember getting, washing me nappies and putting them on there
Mary (PS19V) [1940] Oh I bought that one when Deana was a baby
Jane (PS19L) [1941] Yeah, it was before Deana was born
Mary (PS19V) [1942] was it before Deana was born?
Jane (PS19L) [1943] Yeah cos I remember, I was doing [...] hang all me nappies out
Mary (PS19V) [laugh]
Jane (PS19L) [1944] before she was born, so I washed them all and put them on [...]
Mary (PS19V) [1945] Did ya?
Jane (PS19L) [1946] Yeah, so that was er, [...] eleven years ago aren't ya?
Mary (PS19V) [1947] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [1948] And it's been used constantly, so it's not done bad, it's the way, the leg's been wiggly for a while, it just broke off the other day, so, I don't know whether John can mend it, he couldn't seem to think he can
Mary (PS19V) [1949] No they're not er, I've got one that's got a rivet come out
Jane (PS19L) [1950] Mm
Mary (PS19V) [1951] on this side, you know where the little piece that, that bend, that you uncatch it to fold it up
Jane (PS19L) [1952] I know what you mean yeah
Mary (PS19V) [1953] the rivet's come out
Jane (PS19L) [1954] Yeah
Mary (PS19V) [1955] and that, I find that very awkward, I've got a rubber band round it at the moment
Jane (PS19L) [1956] yeah
Mary (PS19V) [1957] but you see that only lasts so long they, they perish
Jane (PS19L) [1958] yeah, done well, I might re come winter I'll probably replace it, I won't bother now it's not worth it with summer ... says she having a nice summer
Mary (PS19V) [1959] Yes, well, we're bound to have something aren't we?
Jane (PS19L) [1960] Well I should think so
Mary (PS19V) [1961] We're bound to have something
Jane (PS19L) [1962] We live in hope don't we?
Mary (PS19V) [1963] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [1964] [laugh] ... What are you doing?
[1965] Mind you don't [...] your tongue with that ... I tell you what they had in er Woolies market as well, I don't know whether you've seen them and I don't, I've not got you know an old Argos catalogue to compare prices, cos they've not got it in the summer one, but they have them in the winter ones, it's like a, a tool box, but it's on wheels and you make it up, you, you know all the screws and the wheels come out and you're not, it's all plastic, I think it must be from age three, because of the little bits, and it's like erm, I've seen it somewhere, where I've been, it has little figures sat in this erm, what would you, it's like erm, a bit like a truck, yeah, and it's got the, the figures in it
Mary (PS19V) [1966] I haven't I haven't actually seen one, but I once saw a lady on the bus with one
Jane (PS19L) [1967] if it, on the bus you can see
Mary (PS19V) [1968] it's quite a big thing isn't it?
Jane (PS19L) [1969] Yeah, yes
Mary (PS19V) [1970] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [1971] on the box you can see it made up and then with all the bits and pieces separate
Mary (PS19V) [1972] Mm
Jane (PS19L) [1973] and I think it was something like, say twenty pound, it was on the market, but I have a feeling it was something like thirty odd

Jane (PS19L) [2002] Mm, either way though, I mean the thing is if they do, you, you would be in for a little bit of something, if you hung it out till be, to being redundant
John (PS19M) [2003] Yeah, but I mean it's like, it's
Jane (PS19L) [2004] but having said that [...]

Chris (PS19P) [2355] Not heard anything yet
Jane (PS19L) [2356] Not heard anything yet
Chris (PS19P) [2357] Velma called on Monday, erm, because I rang her up on Sunday to tell her what was happening, cos I mean she didn't know it, we signed our contract and erm I said to her well if we get a date this week, I said could, cos she's going back to Wales tomorrow, she won't be back till after Easter
Jane (PS19L) [2358] No
Chris (PS19P) [2359] so I said could Mike go in and do the fencing you see at the side, to keep the dog out
Jane (PS19L) [2360] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2361] so,sh oh she said you, oh first of all she said you can go and get the key, so I said oh no I'm not bothered about the key I said if you could just leave the side gate open, so erm
Jane (PS19L) [2362] Has it got a lock then?
Chris (PS19P) [2363] yeah I think, I don't, she must lock it from the inside window back through
Jane (PS19L) [2364] Back out
Chris (PS19P) [2365] you see, so er anyway when we got off the phone Mike said yeah but what about bloody power you see
Jane (PS19L) [2366] Oh
Chris (PS19P) [2367] so, anyway, she must of thought about this, so she called on Monday, and she said oh I've been thinking Michael'll need electric for the drill
Jane (PS19L) [2368] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2369] so she said what I'll do she said is I'll leave the key to the garage under two bricks at the side of the garage
Jane (PS19L) [2370] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2371] she said and then he can use the power in there
Jane (PS19L) [2372] mm, mm
Chris (PS19P) [2373] so as long as we've got a date by Saturday he can go and do it, if we still haven't got a date he won't be able to go and do it
Jane (PS19L) [2374] you can't do anything
Chris (PS19P) [2375] we've got the fencing well no, no you can't Jane because you're not insured you see until
Jane (PS19L) [2376] no
Chris (PS19P) [2377] you actually exchange, as soon as you've exchanged contracts we've got to get insured you see ... but erm ... I mean on the letter we got from the solicitor on Saturday it said, it, it looks as though your purchaser's ready to exchange contracts in the forthcoming week
Jane (PS19L) [2378] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2379] so we've just wait and see.
Jane (PS19L) [2380] she's doing everything by the book I think, so
Chris (PS19P) [2381] Oh I've never even seen anything of her Jane
Jane (PS19L) [2382] no
Chris (PS19P) [2383] I really thought I would see her round Sale, I've never seen anything of her
Jane (PS19L) [2384] no
Chris (PS19P) [2385] but, erm ... it might of taken longer than what she thought as regards her London ends you see
Jane (PS19L) [2386] start again
Chris (PS19P) [2387] really, that's what it is
Jane (PS19L) [2388] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2389] well I think Dawn is quite happy now, I mean I think she felt as though she'd been rushed at first, but I mean
Jane (PS19L) [2390] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2391] that was her choice really
Jane (PS19L) [2392] that's right
Chris (PS19P) [2393] I mean she said to me on Monday something about, I mean it's her that wanted to be in, in, by the middle of March, now I never said the woman wanted to be in by March
Jane (PS19L) [2394] no
Chris (PS19P) [2395] we were just discussing it
Jane (PS19L) [2396] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2397] but, I, Miss never actually said well I
Jane (PS19L) [2398] no
Chris (PS19P) [2399] want to be in by the end of March
Jane (PS19L) [2400] no
Chris (PS19P) [2401] I think she just assumed because she was coming down here with her job
Jane (PS19L) [2402] she was ready to move in
Chris (PS19P) [2403] that she'll be ready to move in you see
Jane (PS19L) [2404] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2405] but I said well at least you've got it all done, you don't have to rush around at the last minute.
Jane (PS19L) [2406] that's right.
[2407] How much money did she make in the end on er garage thing?
Chris (PS19P) [2408] She didn't say and I, I never thought to ask her, no she didn't say ... so we're just, that's why really as I say I don't, I think at first she was quite happy for us to go in and maybe take stuff in, but I don't think she was happy about us doing structural things on it
Jane (PS19L) [2409] Mm
Chris (PS19P) [2410] cos I think her solicitor must of said something to her you see
Jane (PS19L) [2411] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2412] but I mean even, even if we, if we get a date for next week Jane, we can't get in, cos I'm not going to get a key and go in when she's not there
Jane (PS19L) [2413] no
Chris (PS19P) [2414] if it'd happened a couple of weeks ago when she was about I would of kept going over like she said I could do
Jane (PS19L) [2415] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2416] but we'll just leave it now
Jane (PS19L) [2417] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2418] to the day
Jane (PS19L) [2419] you might as well
Chris (PS19P) [2420] er, we'll get it all sorted, you know what you like, you sit there and you think oh I want it, to get it all sorted before I go and move, it'll just have to be in a tip for a while.
Jane (PS19L) [2421] yeah, you can't though can ya?
[2422] I mean you've got, it takes you so long to place things and
Chris (PS19P) [2423] No you don't this is it, we'll just dump everything, I said to Mark we'll just dump everything in the back room and we'll stay in the back room till we've sorted the front room
Jane (PS19L) [2424] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2425] out and then we'll move into the front room
Jane (PS19L) [2426] into the front room you've got Easter hopefully to go out and to sort out
Chris (PS19P) [2427] Well I hope so.
Jane (PS19L) [2428] your, your front room though ... I think you just want to get everything
Chris (PS19P) [2429] Well I think that's what it is Jane, but you can't
Jane (PS19L) [2430] tidy, but you know, you know in your own mind you can't
Chris (PS19P) [2431] you know in your own mind you can't
Jane (PS19L) [2432] no
Chris (PS19P) [2433] but
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [2434] and Creg's on Monday [laughing] with the carpets [] , oh we shall have a right laugh with them two blokes, aye, they both go oh God not you again [laughing] you know [] and do I have a
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Jane (PS19L) [2435] have you thought of any that you like?
Chris (PS19P) [2436] Oh we do like that one in the window
Jane (PS19L) [2437] That's the
Chris (PS19P) [2438] that's the one Mike's mad on, and when I went in on, er
Jane (PS19L) [2439] that particular colour or a different colour?
Chris (PS19P) [2440] yeah it looks lovely in the square, yeah because I thought it was quite light, but it isn't actually
Jane (PS19L) [2441] It's the pinky one int it there
Chris (PS19P) [2442] it's erm, you shut up, no I went in, I've never been in Weeks, to go in and have a look and everything, it was Hamish that was in that time and you can have a right laugh with him, he's the one that came and sorted the hall and stairs
Jane (PS19L) [2443] Oh
Chris (PS19P) [2444] out for me and erm, when he went in on Monday, erm it was the other one the lad that actually owns it, so I was in there for about bloody half an hour and we came home with some samples and one that I quite liked it was up on the wall and he said that is my best selling Axminster that I had, and it was like, it was maybe it was a bit too busy, it was, it was greyey and it was all different other colours in it, but it was a lot of flowers on it, it wasn't a traditional Axminster you see Mike loves these traditional Axminsters and he doesn't really, he won't really entertain anything else, erm, anyway I brought that sample home ... and what else?
[2445] Oh yeah that's the only one I brought home, on Tuesday it was, well as soon as he saw, I brought it in and me dad looked at it and he goes yeah it's alright, I knew he didn't like it and then when Mike got in, he said oh I don't like that, so I said why?
[2446] Well you take it back I said and you pick the carpet
Jane (PS19L) [2447] Mm where's this for then?
Chris (PS19P) [2448] so, this is the front room
Jane (PS19L) [2449] The front room
Chris (PS19P) [2450] so er, he goes off and he comes back with three samples then, well one of them, it has been in the window as well, but it's a very definite diamondy shape
Jane (PS19L) [2451] More
Chris (PS19P) [2452] no quite big shaped diamond but it's in like pastel pink and pastel blue and it's very, very pastely colours ...
Jane (PS19L) [2453] Can't remember those
Chris (PS19P) [2454] but I would imagine down on a floor it would look very, the diamonds would be too much if you
Jane (PS19L) [2455] hit ya mm
Chris (PS19P) [2456] know wha what I mean, he brought that one home and he brought another quite nice traditional one, but it tended to be quite browny, and then another one and, er
Jane (PS19L) [2457] You're not ripping that up?
Chris (PS19P) [2458] and then you know the one that was in the window?
Jane (PS19L) [2459] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2460] He didn't bring a sample home of that cos he, he brought the same design but in a different colour, but it was more greeny
Jane (PS19L) [2461] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2462] so, anyway, I just, we've got it down on the floor and I says if we had a brown suite
Jane (PS19L) [2463] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2464] that would be ideal
Jane (PS19L) [2465] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2466] even though there was a bit of grey in it, it was the, really the brown that predominated it, I said it, it, the grey suite wouldn't go with it
Jane (PS19L) [2467] so you're gonna have the front room with your grey suite in it?
Chris (PS19P) [2468] yeah
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [2469] then shall I
Jane (PS19L) [2470] You thought, have you thought of any colours for your back room?
[2471] No, this is, you're thinking this is for your front room now your carpet?
Chris (PS19P) [2472] Yeah, er, well, so I brought the sample of that one home
Jane (PS19L) [2473] Mm
Chris (PS19P) [2474] the one that's in the window
Jane (PS19L) [2475] right it's the pink squares
Chris (PS19P) [2476] and it's the and, yeah, me and Joanne weren't very keen on any of the carpets either and as soon as she saw that she said oh that's lovely
Jane (PS19L) [2477] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2478] she said now I do like that, cos it looks nice and warm cos there's loads of colours in it, there's pink, there's burgundy, there's blue, green, every colour you can think of, you've bro
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [2479] oh, you're determined to have that you are, aren't ya?
[2480] If he got a
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [2481] wouldn't do him any harm, but it wouldn't half make him go ah, cos it's dead minty
Group of unknown speakers (KCGPSUGP) [...]
Chris (PS19P) [2482] what are ya?
[2483] ... What are ya?
[2484] Leave my handbag alone ... but you see when it was in the window Jane I thought it looked a bit too light, but I think what makes it look like that is they've got the light shining
Jane (PS19L) [2485] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2486] right on it
Jane (PS19L) [2487] I've seen it down Chris and I love it
Chris (PS19P) [2488] when you actually see it on the floor, it looks totally different
Jane (PS19L) [2489] Glenys has got it, very, very sim very, very similar, there's very, there's not a lot in it, I'll take those magazines off
Chris (PS19P) [2490] you see, oh Christ, erm ...
Jane (PS19L) [2491] but she got it in the greens
Chris (PS19P) [2492] yeah, well I, Mike says I brought that one home when we were looking for a hall instead, but I said no I said it was one very similar, but he said we couldn't have it because erm
Jane (PS19L) [2493] no
Chris (PS19P) [2494] with them being the squares you'd lose a hell of a lot coming down the stairs
Jane (PS19L) [2495] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2496] you know on the turn and everything
Jane (PS19L) [2497] it would spoil it I mean
Chris (PS19P) [2498] it would, you've got to have a big spread really haven't ya?
Jane (PS19L) [2499] yeah, yeah I mean I'd thought about it for ours
Chris (PS19P) [2500] But
Jane (PS19L) [2501] but I remember what you said about the squares
Chris (PS19P) [2502] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2503] I'd like it in here
Chris (PS19P) [2504] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2505] I really would
Chris (PS19P) [2506] it would go lovely with this
Jane (PS19L) [2507] I know
Chris (PS19P) [2508] because even though
Jane (PS19L) [2509] it's got all the colours hasn't it?
Chris (PS19P) [2510] even though this is erm not a plain, it's not dead busy is it?
Jane (PS19L) [2511] No
Chris (PS19P) [2512] If you know what I mean.
Jane (PS19L) [2513] but that, it's not, it doesn't, I don't see that carpet as being a particularly patterned car I know it has got a pattern
Chris (PS19P) [2514] It is it's a definite square, it's definite true, what your colours
Jane (PS19L) [2515] but to me I look at the, I call patterned carpets all the flowers and
Chris (PS19P) [2516] mm
Jane (PS19L) [2517] rounded patterns
Chris (PS19P) [2518] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2519] d'ya know what I mean but
Chris (PS19P) [2520] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2521] to me this is, a square doesn't look the same as the round
Chris (PS19P) [2522] no
Jane (PS19L) [2523] you know
Chris (PS19P) [2524] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2525] I know it sounds stupid, but I like
Chris (PS19P) [2526] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2527] I don't like the round
Chris (PS19P) [2528] no
Jane (PS19L) [2529] flowery carpets
Chris (PS19P) [2530] no
Jane (PS19L) [2531] er or the ones that have got leaves going into
Chris (PS19P) [2532] mm
Jane (PS19L) [2533] you know that sort you have
Chris (PS19P) [2534] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2535] to me that's patterned
Chris (PS19P) [2536] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2537] but that carpet that you're talking about to me is a plain
Chris (PS19P) [2538] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2539] but it's a plain square.
Chris (PS19P) [2540] yeah, as I say Mike says, reckons I
Jane (PS19L) [2541] Liked it
Chris (PS19P) [2542] brought the green one home cos I brought the three samples home, the one that we've got down and another one ... and another one for the hall and stair, but I said I'm sure it wasn't the same as that, but it might have been, but I have to say he always said we would [...]
Jane (PS19L) [2543] Mike said [...]
Chris (PS19P) [2544] but you see the fortunate thing about it Jane, with that one, most of the carpets are only twelve foot wide
Jane (PS19L) [2545] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2546] which would mean, cos the room's thirteen foot wide
Jane (PS19L) [2547] oh is it?
Chris (PS19P) [2548] we would of had to
Jane (PS19L) [2549] Have another piece
Chris (PS19P) [2550] buy an extra five square yards
Jane (PS19L) [2551] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2552] cos it was only twelve foot wide, anyway, they do that one in fifteen foot wide
Jane (PS19L) [2553] Oh do they?
Chris (PS19P) [2554] so it, we've got to have twenty one something square yards, I think he worked it out at
Jane (PS19L) [2555] Is it thirteen foot wide then the room?
Chris (PS19P) [2556] Yeah into the alcove
Jane (PS19L) [2557] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2558] the back room isn't, the back
Jane (PS19L) [2559] no
Chris (PS19P) [2560] room's only about eleven and a half, because you get the back room, the front room and then it goes in a bit
Jane (PS19L) [2561] right
Chris (PS19P) [2562] to the back room
Jane (PS19L) [2563] to the kitchen
Chris (PS19P) [2564] to the kitchen you see
Jane (PS19L) [2565] yeah.
Chris (PS19P) [2566] where it's
Jane (PS19L) [2567] So what's the length of the front room?
Chris (PS19P) [2568] Er fourteen ten, by
Jane (PS19L) [2569] It's bigger than what it looks really
Chris (PS19P) [2570] though it's bigger than what you think really
Jane (PS19L) [2571] I think it's deceiving because it's got such high ceilings
Chris (PS19P) [2572] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2573] the high ceilings sort of seems to take it off with
Chris (PS19P) [2574] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2575] I know it sounds silly, but perhaps if the ceilings was lower it would look big
Chris (PS19P) [2576] yeah, yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2577] higher that
Chris (PS19P) [2578] I think it's just maybe er how you have it as well
Jane (PS19L) [2579] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2580] I mean if you look at it now without the dining table
Jane (PS19L) [2581] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2582] it looks totally different
Jane (PS19L) [2583] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2584] I mean, Mike really likes that as a front room, he keeps saying that's gonna be our room, you know
Jane (PS19L) [2585] mm I like a front room
Chris (PS19P) [2586] he's, he's funny he does like a front room, so I thought well sod it, I hate picking carpets Jane, so I thought sod it he can pick
Jane (PS19L) [2587] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2588] the carpet and if it's not right he can

Jane (PS19L) [2589] I don't think you can go wrong, far wrong with that one
Chris (PS19P) [2590] No, it is nice
Jane (PS19L) [2591] thinking of pink and grey in there
Chris (PS19P) [2592] yeah, and he wants to, he came home this morning and he said, he must of been thinking about it, and he said well we could emulsion the walls, he said erm, why don't we do an apricot white, I says well that's peach, I said the
Jane (PS19L) [2593] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2594] the carpet's pink
Jane (PS19L) [2595] yeah and, the suite
Chris (PS19P) [2596] it wouldn't, it wouldn't look right, I mean we have got apricot white on the walls in the back room now, but I said, he, I think he feels as though, a definite pink is not the right colour for a room, do you know what I mean?
Jane (PS19L) [2597] Mm
Chris (PS19P) [2598] And yet it, I was quite happy with it to be honest
Jane (PS19L) [2599] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2600] Jane because I think it looks quite warm
Jane (PS19L) [2601] yeah, you can only put another colour into your curtains and bring it out with your carpet
Chris (PS19P) [2602] Yeah, well what I think he, I think he will emulsion over it cos I mean the ceiling's a bit, as you say she'd been a smoker
Jane (PS19L) [2603] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2604] and the ceiling in that front room is a very deep, deep pink I think, if I can remember rightly, I think we'll go over, we'll probably will go over it and
Jane (PS19L) [2605] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2606] erm we're not gonna go mad knocking picture frames down in that room, it's too much of a big job
Jane (PS19L) [2607] Yes it is, innit?
Chris (PS19P) [2608] I'm just gonna put a border round it
Jane (PS19L) [2609] Mm
Chris (PS19P) [2610] seen like a border in perhaps like a bit of pink and bit of grey on it and it's like sort of scalloped edging
Jane (PS19L) [2611] Mm that'll look nice
Chris (PS19P) [2612] so put that over
Jane (PS19L) [2613] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2614] at the top of the erm
Jane (PS19L) [2615] in
Chris (PS19P) [2616] of the picture frame
Jane (PS19L) [2617] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2618] it sort of brings the ceiling down a little bit as well
Jane (PS19L) [2619] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2620] cos to be honest, the more Mike goes over there, the more he keeps saying he doesn't really want to pull the picture frames down
Jane (PS19L) [2621] no well with them being such a tall ceilings, they're probably
Chris (PS19P) [2622] I don't know why, yeah and I think he feels as though you, he says well if you decorate it right you can blend it in with the wallpaper
Jane (PS19L) [2623] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2624] anyway you know, so
Jane (PS19L) [2625] of course you will.
Chris (PS19P) [2626] I don't know I see I think we'll
Jane (PS19L) [2627] So what will you paint the picture rails white?
Chris (PS19P) [2628] Same colour as the walls
Jane (PS19L) [2629] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2630] I think, so it just blends in with the border round
Jane (PS19L) [2631] yeah, it'll look nice
Chris (PS19P) [2632] and then it'll just, it'll just be titivated up really, so we can live in it and then the back room can just be done at our own time.
Jane (PS19L) [2633] I, I'll definitely have those curtains for you this weekend, I'm gonna get them done.
Chris (PS19P) [2634] Well as I say Jane
Jane (PS19L) [2635] Well then you can put them straight up then can't you?
Chris (PS19P) [2636] well no she's already got them up.
Jane (PS19L) [2637] Mm, well what are they like?
Chris (PS19P) [2638] Well they're not very nice, but I mean er I'll leave them up till I come to actually er get everything done
Jane (PS19L) [2639] Mm, no I meant when you've dec once you've, you know painted in there and got your carpet down
Chris (PS19P) [2640] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2641] the grey curtains would go with your suite wouldn't they?
Chris (PS19P) [2642] Oh they would match up with it yeah, yeah well I, okay then if you want [...]
Jane (PS19L) [2643] I've been mean I've been, I would of done it last weekend, but, I don't, I had a load of washing and it depends
Chris (PS19P) [2644] Yeah, it is
Jane (PS19L) [2645] getting it all done
Chris (PS19P) [2646] you've gotta get up in the mood Jane, I did Saturday morning
Jane (PS19L) [2647] Mm
Chris (PS19P) [2648] it was fine, I thought right get up and get them bloody curtains washed, I had 'em on the line, but do you think our Mike noticed them, well when he came home from work, because I thought of having to put 'em back up again, I just
Jane (PS19L) [2649] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2650] got straight in from work
Jane (PS19L) [2651] oh
Chris (PS19P) [2652] and I had Mike ironing them while I was putting 'em up, I said right stand here and watch me hang this curtain, so I'm showing him how to iron it, so while I'm upstairs putting 'em up he's ironing
Jane (PS19L) [2653] He's ironing
Chris (PS19P) [2654] 'em, so I had 'em put back up again for quarter to six,
Jane (PS19L) [2655] That's alright that, I must have done six loads of washing, for some reason I just didn't seem to have enough to do me loads
Chris (PS19P) [2656] Yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2657] but then come Saturday morning
Chris (PS19P) [2658] it's all accumulated
Jane (PS19L) [2659] I had to, I was doing two what I call mid washes, this sort of colour
Chris (PS19P) [2660] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2661] and then I was doing two these colours and I'd

Jane (PS19L) [2663] got about three lots of er white it's unbelievable
Chris (PS19P) [2664] yeah, I've done that Jane you sort of look one day and you think there's hardly anything
Jane (PS19L) [2665] Stop it.
Chris (PS19P) [2666] there, I'll leave it
Jane (PS19L) [2667] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2668] and then you'll regret it the next day
Jane (PS19L) [2669] I know
Chris (PS19P) [2670] cos the bloody basket's full to the brim
Jane (PS19L) [2671] I'm determining to keep it, I'm just putting bits in now
Chris (PS19P) [2672] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2673] but a white load's there that I must put in and must get that put out this afternoon
Chris (PS19P) [2674] mm
Jane (PS19L) [2675] but er, oh dear ... I wanted to get them down and me others up while John's been in
Chris (PS19P) [2676] mm
Jane (PS19L) [2677] cos I didn't want to have no curtains up on me front

Jane (PS19L) [2679] so I shall definitely get him to give us a lift
Chris (PS19P) [2680] yeah
Jane (PS19L) [2681] with them.
Chris (PS19P) [2682] well as I say don't worry about it cos that first week I won't even bother anyway cos I'll leave up what I've got
Jane (PS19L) [2683] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2684] cos he said, you see I've, I think it's a picture, I think it's erm, what do you call it?
[2685] A pelmet, I think
Jane (PS19L) [2686] right
Chris (PS19P) [2687] she's got wooden pelmets on everything
Jane (PS19L) [2688] Has she?
Chris (PS19P) [2689] so I'll want to take them down
Jane (PS19L) [2690] Yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2691] so they'll, that'll have to come down anyway
Jane (PS19L) [2692] yeah ...

Jane (PS19L) [2694] Those windows are so big that you've got though, I mean I do I, they, they probably will fit, I think it will be a tight fit though
Chris (PS19P) [2695] They're twelve foot, I know that one in the front room is twelve foot wide, by seventy two drop
Jane (PS19L) [2696] Yeah, well I don't know ... there more than seventy two aren't they?

Chris (PS19P) [2702] cos like Joanne's bedroom I'd measured that, that's sixty six drop ... so I ended up getting seventy two drop curtains
Jane (PS19L) [2703] mm
Chris (PS19P) [2704] and Pam was gonna shorten them and then I said no I think I'll leave them
Jane (PS19L) [2705] yeah
Chris (PS19P) [2706] cos it was only like sort of eight inches difference and I thought well when I wash 'em they might shrink anyway
Jane (PS19L) [2707] mm
