In, but not in

Last night at what we thought would be our last site meeting before moving in, we walked away unclear about exactly when we would be going home.

Mr Builder is cracking on quite well I suppose. There's certainly a lot of evidence of activity on site and people there when we turned up. What we don't have is a granite worktop, which is holding up the kitchen being finished. The worktop has been cut to shape, and is sat in the workshop ready to be polished. Trouble is, so are a lot of other worktops. We should hear on Thursday when it will be ready - there is still an outside chance it could be this week.

Magnet seem to be chasing Wickes for the title of Incompetent Kitchen Supplier of the year. Apparently we can't have the outside doors for our integrated fridge freezer because they don't do them in the range we've bought. I just can't understand this. Now we have to send our fridge freezer back and get a different one that they can supply doors for. This means we probably won't have a fridge freezer until next week.

All this comes after a successful trip to Ikea to pick up new dinner chairs (for the dinner table that hasn't been delivered yet) and an armchair. All sat boxed up in the back bedroom waiting for when we eventually go home before they can be assembled.

Bugger!
