Little Michael watching his favourite movie - Toy Story 2
Well, what a fortnight!!!
A lot happening in this place at the moment.
Greg's bike decided to virtually give up on him in the last week, so now we are on the lookout for another bike for him. Not the greatest timing, but then when is it really? We went and looked at one last night and it was crap. Why do people have to lie and say it is the greatest on the ad, and when you get there it is obvious it is a big load of bullshit? The bike had been dropped, needed new tyres (ad said immaculate cond and new tyres??), hadn't been tuned to the exhaust, had leaking exhaust and had probably never ever had a service. Greg said it was a dog - beautiful feel but a dog because it was so rough (due to the issues above). What a waste of time!!! GRRRRR The looking continues!!!!
We had our second night out without Michael on Saturday night which was lovely. It was for a fundraiser for a guy at my work whose wife is dying and she has just had their first baby this month. Very sad situation but they raised a lot of $$$ for him to help him out.
The kitchen is going well and I do love it a lot. The oven is brilliant and everything is great. Sadly, the kitchen place has let me down by not fixing the two outstanding issues - the chip in the cabinet and the mechanism in the door above the rangehood. Despite me calling over 10 times, the last conversation ended with the guy sounding annoyed that I wanted a date to get it completed and saying that it is not interfering with the operation of the kitchen so I will have to wait. Nearly 2 weeks later still no contact. I sent a letter of demand last week and still no contact. They have until tomorrow and then I will follow up with the Department of Fair Trading.
The company is Barry's Kitchens Hornsby. I would so NOT recommend them at all. Oh, they were fine up until they actually had my money and there were the two little problems. They just ignore me and basically lie everytime they speak to me. Disgusting that nearly 7 weeks since installation I still have a chip in my kitchen cabinet and can hardly get into my cabinet. I hope a search engine picks up this anti-recommendation for any other poor person.
I did get the tiling done and it looks brilliant. Here are some pics:
So that is about it for now. I am having some family dramas with my eldest daughter at the moment and honestly am feeling fairly sick to my stomach at the moment. I hope she takes advice from most people and listens to what she really knows is right..........................
Enjoy your week

Is it too much to ask that a job is done properly? I don't think so, so why do tradespeople think they can get away with it. Do they have a showroom? I'd be down there with me biggest gob on giving then what for and I'd make sure they were full of customers too!
