He is still not here! Only 3 hours late. Am fit to spit - he was supposed to have come on Saturday - no show. Arrived yesterday, took 1 minute to look at the ceiling and said he'd be back this morning to fix the gaping hole. would be here between 9 and 10 - promised! HE LIED!

Could have done so much this morning - gone for a run (hmm OK not that likely), gone for a walk, gone for a coffee...... But no I've been sat around waiting for this stupid man to not show - AGAIN! Can't clean up the mess before he's finished either.

At least I've got the laundry done I spose.

Sorry, just needed a vent. :(

he arrived 15minutes ago all smiley smiley nicey nicey. Could have hit him with a bat and buried him in a hole. Am usually very relatively back about this as there's nothing to be done but grin and bear it, but it's not working today! Have even nicked DD's maltesers - and no they didn't help!

When my builders didn't turn up once, I sent a text to their boss to ask where they were and I got a text back apologising for my 'incontinence'!

can you imagine -we'd all be rich! Am about to ring LL and have a go - he's crawling over himself at the moment to be saccharinely sweet and nice, as with the building work opposite we think he thinks we're going to move - little does he know he's right!! Darn can't phone now - it's prayer time! So that's today gone for a burton - school run shortly.

Send him a bill for YOUR time! (yes, I know it wouldn't work here, but my dad has done it twice with BT back in the UK and they've been straight round and very apologetic...)
