What should we do?

Our neighbour has been kind enough to do all the Tiling in our Kitchen & he wont take anything for doing it - I spoke to his wife & said we relly feel we need to give something, she suggested a B&Q Voucher.........the question is how much should we do that for?

Difficult - especially as the guy might not want a voucher. I`d check with him , TBH. Maybe also suggest alternatives - like taking him and his OH out for a meal?

He wont talk about it! He loves DIY & Gardening..........they are not a couple that would enjoy going out for a meal(difficult to explain, they would think it was money wasted)

It's a poser!!

It is difficult when someone does something for you and won't take anything-the gardening ideas sound good though

A gardening voucher sounds good, but you could also buy a nice pot shrub and pot. That way it looks like there has been thought behind it.

If it is any help we got our utility tiled last year and it was £18 per square m plus materials.

We may go with the Voucher idea, plus get a nice shrub/plant plus nice pot, bottle wine & chocs & do it all up in Cellophane with big bow - what amount should we het a voucher for, don't wants to appear tight or OTT?

Thanx for input, much appreciated x

That can be a bit tricky with the plant, do you know the sort of things he likes? You might pick something he doesn't particularly like or doesn't have space for. I personally would go the garden centre voucher way, plus the wine and chocs!

What about a nice bottle of wine or champagne, or a big box of chockies? Just a thought (a nice thought in my case, especially the chockies )
