B&Q bathroom installation – day 36

Feels more like day 365, yawn…

I ring Alan at the installation centre at 2:50 and say no one’s rung to say when I’m getting the end panel. He says it’s not at the store yet, he rang them at 1:30. I say oh ok, I can always go and get it from the store on Saturday, I assume it’s not that heavy? He says that’s fine, he’ll make sure it’s definitely at the store by Saturday and will let me know.

I say there’s other things the fitters can be getting on with, is it that they just don’t want to come back until I’ve got the panel? He says he believes that is the case, yes.

Lazy bastards.

But I’ve found myself a 5k to enter at the end of January and this has made me happy. Why has the thought of having to get up really early on a Saturday morning and travel for about an hour to go and run round a park in the freezing cold made me happy?

Update
Big boss lady Yvonne at the fitters leaves a voicemail on my mobile at 6:30 while I’m at the gym. She says they did some work in my bathroom on behalf of B&Q and has noticed I haven’t returned the completion note. She carries on to say that if there is still work outstanding, then I can tick box B and write down what is left to be done, but if all work has been done, then tick box A and send it back. She says she’d really appreciate it if I could either tick box A or B and send it back to her.

Fuck off you dozy bitch. You don’t even know if your fitters have finished the job? Why not ask them, or if they’re too stupid (as I imagine they are) to know if a half-finished bathroom is finished or not, then ask the B&Q installation service centre who can tell you that it is not finished. And as for appreciating it if I’d send the completion notice back, well, I would have appreciated it if you had turned up on 9 October to start work like you were supposed to and finished it that same week; not start work three weeks later and, even then, seven weeks down the line it’s still not finished. And not only would I appreciate it if your fitters didn’t throw the pipes out of the window into my back garden and leave them there where they still reside, I would also appreciate it if your fitters didn’t leave my window wide open twice, didn’t leave my keys in the gas meter box, didn’t rip my kitchen floor, turned up on time (and that’s when they even bothered turning up) and didn’t leave me notes that I can’t do anything about when I get home late but instead call me and let me know if there’s a problem.

I think you know where you can stuff your completion notice, don’t you?

Aah, I feel better now 🙂

Stupid cow.
