More than an irritation, more fit to .....explode
Washing machine has decided to curl up it's toes - we've had it quite a few years now so no big deal.
HiD decided on the new one which would be delivered by AO Monday just gone.
As I was going to be out she ordered connection as well.
They duly arrived with a nice new machine, tried to turn the water valve off and couldn't.
Made their excuses, took new machine and left saying we had to sort out the valve before they could connect
She got onto our friendly plumber who came yesterday, took one look, got a pair of pliers and turned a nut through 90° - job done....I hadn't looked at it as I hadn't had time.
We took the old machine out, arranged for AO to come back today.
They turn up - no machine
The peasant in the office hadn't passed on then fact that the new machine had been taken away.
Now, my plumbing skills are on a similar level to a Politicians ability to tell the truth but even I managed to reinstall the old one, which still works very noisily, so that we can make inroads into the vast amount of laundry that needs doing, especially as HID is off Oop North tomorrow....
Had to cancel golf for this, and some work and if they don't get it sorted tomorrow there's a chance I might kill somone!!
Aaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Should have got them to leave the machine and got a refund of the installation fee, if you had to get a plumber in he would have connected it up in a jiffy

2nd week in a row that the weather has caused the cancellation of a competition. 40 mph wind with accompanying rain this week. Supposed to be teeing off in 45 minutes.

100% in agreement with this. I don't mind which way people vote its their own choice and I respect that, however the crap that's being posted is absolutely trash propoganda, but I'm also seeing it posted by others about labour as well. It's like those that posting it haven't bothered looking at agenda or manifesto they're just going for childish meme type posts to show who they won't support

Or use a local independant who probably would have got it connected, even if it meant turning off the water for whole house for those 2 minutes needed

Blowing a hooley here... Have had to go out and re-right several of the large planters we have... Where's my lad when I need him? At the rugby club watching the match... Should've gone with him 😞...

Weather is absolutely hellish but because I can't bear a weekend without golf I'm still going to put myself through it. Idiot.

Sport - sometimes just too painful...off to get blown off my feet on the course to take my mind off it.
Lots of "offs" in one sentence!

Losing the rugby and then it decided to absolutely tip it down with the wind licking up to easily 40-45mph so decided to bin the game. There was already a queue on the 1st and 10th and the idea of waiting 10-15 minutes getting wet and cold didn't appeal

Screwfix customer service in store
Today we went to get carpet for our new loft, stairs etc etc. Whilst in lakeside get this underlay we need for the bathroom laminate from Screwfix , £36.99 next day delivery to store pick up after 12
So we got our carpet (another story, very pleased) the grippers they said £100 I said look I can get 100 grippers from Screwfix for £37 they said ok we will use them as we can't beat that. Excellent, same day click and collect. Perfect added to order.
We then go to b&q to get the paint for loft. 3 for 2 on paint ??? Happy days £322 worth of paint for £218 (loft, 2 sets of stairs, hallway, bedroom and kitchen) sweet
It's 11:30 so go for early lunch to kill time for the order to arrive at Screwfix
Get my txts saying both orders ready
Show up, the grippers fine shove in car. Underlay didn't show up , can get tomorrow.. I said well lakeside is tough to get to for me on a Sunday with the traffic can you deliver to my
local store? Sorry can't do that here. Ok deliver to my house? Yes sure £10 delivery cost.. so I said to be fair I shouldn't have to pay that because of this mishap with my order..he was like i agree but I can't do that my manger should be able to. So off he goes to get the manager.
Here's where it gets very annoying. How can I help sir? I explain the situation .. well we can't discount the psrcelforce delivery charge you will have to pay. Ok right well just discount the order by £10? Nope I can't do that.. right so what can you do? We can deliver it to you Monday .. erm no I need it tomorrow, it's already late which is your fault so why should I wait or pay more? You given me a code for £10 off if I pay over £100 but can't offer me £10 off... No that's a random code I can't give out other codes. What can you do then??
Disappears and we don't see the manager again. First man comes back with £10 voucher (funny that) and tries to put order through. Keeps failing due to internal error. Had to in end phone up and place order with their customer service centre who sorted it in minutes.. gave me free delivery (funny that thought you couldn't do it) and apologised for the way the manager spoke to us.
To be completely Frank the money didn't bother me it was the attuide of the apparent manager. Got my wife so angry she had to go wait in the car because she was going to have a go. The other guy was brilliant and I made sure to point that out to customer service that he was brilliant and tried to sort it himself but was tied by what the system would let him do.
My irritation is with the manger. What a complete waste of space.
There having orders left right and centre big queue and all the staff working hard whilst the manager is no where to be seen.
Poor
However good result in end after having to spend more time on phone.
Shame the rest of the day had been so quick and efficient.

Bemused rather than randomly irritated
The weather outside is absolutely horrible
It is chucking it down, it is cold and windy
in short a night to close the curtains and forget the outside world
Yet there are still imbeciles out there letting off fireworks
Why ?? Have a night off guys
