Thanks, just been out there tonight for the window guy to measure up for a quote, our reno guy has pulled more stuff apart. The movers come on the 13th June. I am now completely overwhelmed. I'm tired and premenstrual, so fairly tearful too, i'll have my positive head back on in a couple of days and a deer will visit while I'm painting one of the newly finished walls and I'll think - It will be worth it, I keep thinking happy fluffy thoughts

If you want to meet for a coffee to have a face to face rant, or just a relax. Give me a call. I work Mon to Fri now and am usually finished around 4pm. I'll pm you my new number.

it will be worth it

I agree with you. The folk in the kitchen/bathroom department are little more than salesmen/order processors. The guys on the specialised aisles tend to know what they are talking about. I've had a few tell me the thing I've just picked up is useless crap (including the store's own brand!). The plumbing guy at HD gave Souvette an on-the-spot lesson in how to install our new bathroom sink.
