Will you marry me?
Seriously....What's your call out charge?
And sometimes quite sneakily I have rang up plumbers in the past and added a bit of small talk and then explained the plumbing problem and often they have inadvertently told me what to do to solve the problem without them knowing and I've hung up the phone and then I fitted a new washer on a tap or unblocked a drain.....sneaky! and it didn't cost me a penny!......gift of the gab sometimes!

(PS If you do all this you don't ask any questions).

So the question is: Are you insured if something goes wrong on this job and causes damage?

I created a blog about saving money, and have added links to my hubs to it. I wanted to add links to other money saving hubs, also. If someone wanted to do that with my hubs, I'd be happy. However, others may not feel the same for some obscure reason. Should I ask individual hubbers before I link...
