Eileen.from Corrie

[soaps]

Looking to have her roof repaired, How come she cant afford to have it done in dribs&drabs as the builder was offering? It's not like she lives an elaborate lifestyle, she has/had a job in the taxi firm and 3 lodgers, so why cant she afford it ?

[hc4361]

Erm, that's what I said up there.

[soaps]

hc436 sorry, yes you did!.....I Still I dont see how she's in debt now!

[gina32]

and surely the insurance rep couldnt say no because of what jason did, punched him, it was an accident blah blah blah

[sanden]

Surely the insurance man would have made an appointment and knocked on the door rather than go round the back and press against the window staring into the house!! It is only a soap, but as others have said, it should be a bit more realistic. Eileen could say she filled her paying in book in by mistake and its gone into her account but will make an immediate transfer into Owen's account, but of course she wont, and the story will go on and get even more irritating. I know, I know, but I will stil watch!!

Yes the insurance man peering through the window was a bit ridiculous, he would have made an appointment and she would have got her roof fixed, it was genuine damage so there shouldn't have been any hassle.

i remember her looking to buy, she went and put an offer in at tyrone and molly's first. She was all set to buy but they decided not to move. Just cus she has a job and lodgers doesn't mean she would be able to pay for a job like that.
We have a small mortgage and both work, but it's a struggle!
As for the insurance man, that's what we would do where i live. If there's no answer at the front, you go round the back!

He did make an appointment but was late. After he failed to turn up Eileen went to the pub. Jason and Rosie were upstairs having nookie so probably didn't hear him knock.

We await the outcome!

the builder didn't know he was owed 10K

What The Funicular????

[trt]

Why dont all the houses in Corrie have a lock on their backyard doors, I know I would if I lived there?

[craft1948]

I used to live in a Corrie style house, and the back gate was always bolted.

[Mick-Talbot]

Don't they have big gates at either end, in the real world of Manchester?

[trt]

Me too craft, or should that be me to?

[Jemisa]

trt - too is right remember too means Also "I've got one too/also

Use to when you say "I'm going to bed" or "I've got to go out"
