Project complete ?

I began the alterations to give me a better wardrobe and shower on 3rd November last year.

I knew it would take some time, the main reason being sourcing materials for collection or delivery, it’s not always easy.

Last Monday I placed the order, on the telephone, for delivery of the mattress, it was a long call, to keep the story short, the outcome of which was delivery would be delayed until today (7 days instead of 3days) to allow the supplier to use their own van and not the courier company Yodel who were likely to mess it up as I am on a boat.

So it wasn’t really a surprise to me that it did indeed get messed up. My somewhat irate call today resulted in me being told Yodel had lost the mattress in transit? Hang on, I’ve waited an extra 4 days so as not to use Yodel, “unfortunately it was given to Yodel”, at least that’s what they told me, looking at the Yodel tracking site tells me they are waiting for it to arrive from the supplier!

I reckon the supplier thought they had sent it to Yodel (the normal method) and so nobody put it on their own van today, bloody incompetent whatever happened. I was quite proud of my restraint though, no ‘f’ words left my lips, just a couple of bloody's.

So I have to move tomorrow, my 14 days are up, then find a new mooring spot with suitable access for the delivery and give them a second chance to get it right.

I don’t think I can call the project complete until I can sleep in the bedroom again.

And breathe.
