Sorry to hear this.I hope Pippin will help her feel better.love Jane xx

Just been on the phone for an hour and a half trying to order a fridge freezer. Had tried to order it online 3 times but each time I went to checkout it said it had gone out of stock. Got a notification it was available again but suprise surprise, it had gone up by £70. Anyway, called the company to see what they could Dom Customer service said ring sales to get a discount and it would be no problem. Did this and talked someone through the issue.Person got my name wrong several times and got the delivery address wrong several times and couldn't give a discount in the end anyway. Did manage to order it but when I paid for it then person said it hadn't gone through, even though it showed it had on my bank app. Tried to explain but it wasn't in their scrip Gave them my bank details again. Still didn't go through. Asked my bank. They said it had gone through and was pending. Waited for person to talk to their manager. Then was told it had gone through. You have to have the patience of a saint m Sorry this is such a minor thing compared to what everyone is going through.

Hello Ukiboy 

I know just how you feel. In my "other" job, when I am not watching out for you lot or my "flock" over on the prostate group - I am an accountant. (Yes I can count beans!!). You want to try dealing with H M Revenue & Customs all day.

Some days whilst I am waiting to be answered on the 'phone, I let my mind wander - sometimes I wonder if it's going to come back (my mind) .

Anyway happy new fridge freezer!!

We ordered a new one for our place in Turkey and was told the delivery was Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday - it arrived on Tuesday. However the man left it all packaged up in the kitchen. "You can't touch it, we have to install it." (Unwrap it and plug it in) otherwise the guarantee isn't valid.  I asked when they were doing that. "Oh that's another man - Thursday, Friday or Saturday". He plugged it in Friday!! (Same man).

Kind regards - Brian.

Oh crikey, Uki. Hon, everything is major when hurdles are put up and especially with what you have to contend with. I had similar last year when purchasing a new washing machine, but got lucky as once I told the assistant it was crucial for OH's needs, it was delivered and installed the next day. It won't always work but if you get someone who's kind and on the ball, it just might.

How's Hilary feeling now hon? Pippin's such a good boy for looking after her. Hugs to you all xxx

You'll never believe it. Got a conversation email for the order with my name spelt wrong and the wrong delivery address.

Well done Pips, and you Uki, for looking after her
