You can’t do it when you B&Q it
Another feeble run by me today. My training schedule said to do 4.5 miles and I’m assuming it meant running so I did 3.2 miles and walked a lot of it. Maybe something to do with the amount of crap I’ve eaten over the last two weeks since my pledge of no pizza and chocolate ended? Should have said I’d give it up for a year. Or maybe for ever, eek!
It doesn’t look like my cheque for the 10k got lost in the post as I was hoping, as I got an email from them yesterday saying the race packs are currently being sent out and I should receive it soon. Damn, looks like I’ve got to do it after all. And only two more weeks to train, as I don’t think any training in the week leading up to the race makes any difference. Oops, I’d better start doing some proper training then.
Oh and if you’re getting a new bathroom, don’t go to B&Q. The incompetent fools. First they can’t find my house because it’s not on their GPS system, then they can’t do the pre-fit survey because they didn’t bring the drawings, then they don’t deliver the right stuff, then when I ring the fitters to see what time they’re coming on Monday they have no record of the installation being arranged and said they’ll ring B&Q to see what’s happening and they’ll ring me back. They don’t ring back so today I rang B&Q and they said that as far as they’re concerned the installation is starting on Monday and they’ll ring the fitters and ring me back. Have they rung me back? Have they b*****ks.
Grr.

Did they ring then? sounds rubbish 🙁
2 weeks to go 😀 should be a good one.
They rang back eventually. Said the fitters were behind schedule and so couldn’t make a start on Monday, which is rubbish, as the fitters told me they had no record of me, so B&Q man said that he’s booked the fitters for their next avaialable date which is 30 October, so 3 weeks to wait and in the meantime, I’ve got to live with what looks like a builders merchants in my living room 🙁
It’s 3 weeks ’til the 10k which probably means only two weeks of training that will make a difference, oops, better do some training then 🙂
Sounds like a Fob off 🙁 hope it goes ok when they do fit it. Make sure no-one uses your new downstairs loo 😉
Eek, never thought of that, it’s still in the box, so should be ok 🙂
