Wednesday. Frosty this morning. I hope it warms up!
The ongoing saga. The wee men turned up. Late. Promises were not kept and I still have no shower. Some tiling done, but not grouted. They left early. Words will said on the phone later. Once again I've had to cancel something today I was looking forward to, and the person I was taking out for the day is also disappointed. We've rescheduled for next week.
Just to add to the fun, t'internet is getting up to it's tricks again.
Afternoon oz. Thanks ole mate. It should all have been finished over a week ago. I don't need winding up mate. I've done that myself. Even in army days I didn't like having to bark at people, so when it's inevitable I give it both barrels!
It's not so much the time it's taking, it's A) Their work ethic and B) I don't like having to let people down because of it. That's something I'm never liked going.
An agreement should be binding, contracts shouldn't matter, a handshake should suffice.
People that make a verbal agreement with me, then when I've done my part weasel out I'd like to shoot, electrocute, hang from the yardarm, keelhaul etc. (better stop now)
If they are contracting to your local council they should be honouring said agreement. If for some valid reason they can't a phone call or txt is all it takes.
Just to add to the carp, while chopping some mushrooms to make creamed mushrooms I took a slice out of my finger, big flap of skin hanging off, claret all over the place. It ain't half awkward trying to stop the flow and put a dressing on with one hand at the same time. I managed it though. I think I'll hibernate!
spent all day yesterday dragging decies down from the attic and put up..wee bit early but thought it would cheer me up a bit and kick start Christmas for me... pleased I did now...
