graculusOh, the deep joy of waiting for the plumber to turn up. Who was supposed to be here at 8.30am and hasn't arrived yet. *headdesk*
Sadly, I have a leaky toilet - though at least it's leaking from the pipe where the water goes in, not anywhere else less sanitary - and my central heating is making a funny noise that makes me think it's going to explode and as a result I don't want to use it so currently have no heating or hot water, so I didn't have much choice other than to take time off work to hang around waiting for the plumber.
Shortly I am going to phone them up and point out that nobody has arrived yet. And then I'm going to have another cup of coffee and an apricot danish and pout. ;)
E.T.A. - I should have known it was too good to be true. "Oh, we don't give specific times," according to the guy this morning. So clearly "you're first on the list at 8.30am" when I booked the guy to come round was so much BS. Pffft.

Date: 2006-11-22 12:07 pm (UTC)My car which would 'definitely be ready by 11:00' will now 'be ready in about an hour', which will be 1:00pm. I'm going over to pick it up, so they'd better have it ready. As for the promise of 11:00, well, it's lucky for them my 12:30 lunch appointment in town was cancelled this morning.

Date: 2006-11-22 12:11 pm (UTC)Hubby had a row with a delivery person recently who refused to co-operate when Hubby suggested that the delivery person contact him by mobile phone when he was making the delivery before ours. That way Hubby could leave his meeting (ten minutes from our house) and get home to open the door. Oh no - the delivery man couldn't possibly commit himself to that. No, Hubby was supposed to stay in all morning waiting for the delivery man to grace him with an appearance.
*mutter, putter, swear*
