Big mistake

You may, or may not, remember that Jonathan redecorated the living room. Well, as part of the redecoration process we got some new furniture.

I ordered two pieces from Next. I didn't order them at the same time and the first thing arrived as promised. I was pleased with it so ordered the larger, more expensive piece.

They rang me with a delivery date, 21st April.

On the 20th April, I nagged Jonathan into moving stuff to make room for this large item.

On 21st April they rang me to say they would ring back within 72 hours to re-arrange a delivery date ...... oh, and they were sorry.

On the 23rd April they rang to say they would deliver on 2nd May.

I rang on 28th to ask whether it would be morning or afternoon, seeing as it was Bank Holiday Monday and we possibly would have liked to do a family thing (?!!???!!?) They said afternoon, after 1.00pm.

On 1st May, I nagged Jonathan into moving stuff to make room for this large item. Again.

On 2nd May (today) it was Ilkley Carnival - the highlight of the year for family fun (eh?) So Jonathan had to take Ysabella while I stayed in and waited for this bloody thing to arrive. I waited, and waited, and then I waited a few hours more. At 7.00pm I tried to ring them to see what was happening. They were shut.

Tomorrow morning I shall be up early. I shall ring them up. I shall shout a lot. I shall have a tantrum.

And if it wasn't for the fact that we already have one piece of this range of furniture I would tell them to stuff it up their arses even if it is 150cm wide and 200cm high!
