The SCREAM thread

Has a bit of a stressful day yesterday - my daughter took step-son to Alton Towers so I had Ava-May. My youngest daughter and her bf came to help so I could cook food etc. I'd spent the morning cleaning, then walked to fetch the baby and then had the day looking after a nearly 5 month old. Even took her to Tesco to give her something different to look at. And now here it comes - I'm too old for long periods of babysitting and the problem is I have it again today. I was in bed at 10, didnt have any tea, hardly ate my lunch and didnt even have a glass of wine.

I guess as it's a one off I have to hold back on how I think my daughter has her priorities wrong especially going back again today. Her poor children will forget who there mother is
It is blummin hard work!
 
My scream today

I ordered a signed cd for hubby, under his instructions for his birthday in October, on 8th August. There was limited supply

Well they took my money and said that the cd would be out in a couple of weeks as they were waiting for stock. So it was supposed to be sent 29th August.

Apparently their postal collection service will only take a couple of bags per day so that then means there is a delay on the item.

I've phoned them, I've emailed them - still nothing

Hubby has been on the forum for the artist and because he doesnt want to get lynched he has posed a very mild mannered question.

I'm annoyed as the **** cd has cost £35 and it still isnt here.

Suggestions on a postcard please

Try to contact someone as high up in the firm as you can

If Amazon use their complaints procedure

If eBay as Amazon...

Other than that I'm stumped....cos you said your hubby has made "mention" on website


Just happy being me
 
Well hubby doesnt like anything that can be construed as criticism so I think I'll sit on the backburner ha ha.

If he doesnt get his disc then I wont be giving him more money. He knows what he has for his birthday and if he cant sort out where his disc is 'because he doesnt want to get lynched' thats not my problem.

Harsh I guess
 
Nature truly is wonderful... Last night was one of the stormiest, roughest nights we've had here in the West Country since last autumn, yet this morning the sun is rising golden into a clear, blue sky, a light breeze is riffling the treetops, and a robin is singing his heart out just outside my window. :)

I hear a scream of delight.

Fassen rassen inside I'm raging
Turn up for my appointment at 5.10 (arrived at 5) told by Godzilla the receptionist in a fake apologetic voice 'sorry there's a 45 minute delay'

So I'm sitting down quietly listening to some bloody auld poop on their classic FM tannoy whilst I try to calm myself down

I feel like going on the rampage like a Viking burn and pillage

You're lucky you get Classic FM. The background 'music' (noise) in our surgery is the most awful tinkly, repetitive piano that just goes on and on and on. I'm sure it pushed my blood pressure up.

If I'd had to endure any pintling piano claptrap like that I think I'd have snipped the speaker wire with a pair of scissors
 
Hope you'll get help soon maybe blaim it on the other paitients that there is a delay many times it takes more than the 5-10 minutes the doctors have for each patient if They have 15 minutes the 5 are used to write the journal afterwards

Scream? I'll give you scream! Flamin' CarpetWrong are winding me up! I ordered a stair carpet:

First the Estimator didn't arrive after we waited all day. "Don't know what happened, to be honest. We'll send him next week."
Then when we paid for the stair carpet, the price had gone up. "Oh the special offer ended" But it wouldn't have - if your man had turned up!!
Then the Fitter didn't turn up. "He went on holiday, to be honest. We'll send him next week".
Then he cancelled, the next week. "He's very busy, because he was away for a week and he's got a backlog".

Then I cancelled the deal. "Oh you can't cancel. It's in our terms and conditions"...

Won't be going there then.....
Think it's time for an email to head office about appealing customer service. I think though at the price has gone up stage I would have pulled out.... is Watchdog still on TV? Local newspaper might like the story too....

Just happy being me

Yep. A complete company-wide scam. When I went in to cancel, the price was back on "special offer", ready to catch the next chump!

And Trading Standards too?
