It's probably more than I deserve but it helps her things done. I've only not used this forum with my iPhone once ever. I'd really appreciate that if you could have a look. Don't go to more trouble than you can be bothered with, mind! If there IS a floor specialist in the dark ages, AKA...

Money is stretched & I jumped the gun when you mentioned 'buying cheap.' I try to get stuff which lasts and what you said struck a nerve. But you didn't say anything wrong and I apologise. I guess I'm just a bit embarrassed that this has happened. It's not your fault. At this point, I'd just...
