My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Miraculously, I have a reasonable solution too.

    floral - Does the phrase mean more than one thing to you? It does to me, but the internet is telling me that one meaning is chiefly British and I’m not sure I agree.

    A legitimate question, foas.

    I only know one meaning for it ...

    if I've got the right phrase.


    I looked it up and I did not know the meaning described as being American.

    PG Wodehouse uses the phrase a lot in his books. He’s British, and he uses it the same way an American would, I think.

    eg. Hot Water written in 1932.

    He did live in USA, though.

    Ooh - I have an answer too! 😲

    I cheated - I looked up rox’s hint and maybe I now have a guess. About my cheating - desperate times, desperate measures and all that, right?
