Has this new cooker arrived yet or wot? I'd make the delivery guy get it off the truck, unpack it, then tell you don't want it anymore and make them take it away again. |

taaaaaaa daaaaaaaa Hiya Happy Minxie here ......................
Fluttering eyelashes works ......... lol
Got a phone call at 8.30 will be with u in 10 mins - bloody duvet went one way I went the other - quick dash to bathroom tripping over cat on the landing on the way - waking two kids up ..... quick wash and brush up and jumped into clothes to the sound of the doorbell ............... the two hunkiest guys I have ever seen were standing there both, extremely apologetic (hands in prayer position looking up to sky - thank u god !!!!) - they remove my old oven and chat to me apologising etc - bring in the new one - unpack it (its now taken about 20 mins) - and one of em asks how I am gonna get it fitted - explained I had an electrician on standby yesterday and that I need to ring him - he suggests - (its wasn't me) that if the electrician cant do it that they come back after dropping off the other two drops they have and come and fit it for me - gives me his mobile number (more hand prayer and mouthing thank u to god!!!) and lo and behold they came back and its all fitted, they have set it all up and burned off the stuff on the element (whilst sitting chatting drinking tea) lol
Oh oooops I still have his fone number and both their names ............. |
