I can't look my plastic bath in the eye anymore . Bet it stays really hot does it?

Not used it yet! It only went in today. I’m looking forward to its first go, maybe at the weekend.

I'd have been it before the plumbers left the drive .

Awesome bath there, kabbes

 

[Looby]

It’s a lovely bath but it’s made my teeth go funny. [emoji1]

 

[equationgirl]

Wow! That's lovely kabbes, really fab.

The great thing about this thread is that I get to take all the credit for the many hours of design and research done by the kabbess.

Her painstakingly specific approach has paid dividends, it must be said.

More letters telling me my sofas are delayed further, now looking at early April for delivery.

I'd be asking for my money back at this stage.

I must admit I am torn. Part of me does want to cancel, but the other part doesn't want to find replacements which will take weeks to arrive. I would essentially be resetting the clock to zero.

Are they giving you anything in recompense for the delay?
I hope they are...

Still the vague wording about discounts.

 

[Looby]

Still the vague wording about discounts.

That’s really shit, when did you order them?
Maybe see if you can find some consumer guidance or legislation about unreasonable delays to quote at them. If they take much longer they should be free!

They were ordered at the start of the year, on a 9 week order time. So they were supposed to be here by now.

Tilers finished today so the kitchen now just needs some chandeliers and wall lights putting up and our various small cupboards and other dressings. Here it is

 

[Calamity1971]

That's absolutely beautiful kabbes.

 

[equationgirl]

Really lovely kabbes, the tiles look wonderful.

 

[equationgirl]

Sigh. This time an email saying sofas are delayed until the end of April. I'm not even surprised.

Sent them an email which said I'd like a better explanation than just 'supplier issues' as well as reassurance that the sofas will arrive and a clear compensation plan instead of 'discounts'

No respone as yet...

I'd be just demanding my money back now.
They're piss artists.

I know...and ot is extremely frustrating..but at this stage they have proven that they are untrustworthy.
And there may be some other place you can get the exact same sofa?

No, I looked for a long while, next had the only sofas I liked.

 

[kabbes]

I’ve been there, eqg, many a time, but there comes a point that you have to say that it just ain’t gonna happen and you better get out whilst the getting’s good. No matter how attractive the illusory sofa is, it’s still an illusion.

*sobs quietly in the corner*

I will consider all my options.

At last damp proofing dried out, can get on and decorate. The niche is no more ... thank gawd.
