FINALLY GETTING THEM!

 In APRIL last year, I gave a Tupperware Consultant 4 Tupperware lids that were broken, and a broken container for replacement.

APRIL people, way, way back in April last year.

And since then, I have been asking her "When am I getting my replacement lids and container?"

I think I've contacted her personally about 4 times and her mother (a friend of ours) once too.

I've heard the same or similar excuses the entire time.  COVID.  Lockdowns.  Red Light.  bla bla bla.

Fuck me, I could have swum to Australia to get those damn lids by now!

Anyway.  Last night I contacted a  different Tupperware Consultant here in Hamilton and guess what?

She can supply me with the lids TODAY.  YEP, today.  I am thrilled to bits.

And also damn annoyed that the first consultant seems to have done NOTHING to get me new lids.

It's not like she hasn't had TEN MONTHS to track down 4 bloody lids!

So, today I'm going to get me new lids, then I can use these buggers again:

ABOVE:  These lovelies will have lids by this afternoon.  YUS.  She might not be able to replace the little blue lunch box, but that's OK.

This morning Brylee is coming over to do some vacuming for me.

Lacy is coming over to do a load of rocks (or two), for me. 

I'm so thankful for all their help, my back does NOT tolerate vacuuming too well now.  And those rocks?  Nearly killed me yesterday.

But only cos of the heat.  I could have done more if it wasn't so hot and sticky.

Nice that the girls offered to help me today.  

Not forgetting the Bex has done, and does help me heaps as well.  😊

I'm just a bit lucky.  I really appreciate them so much.

Well!

Just got an email from the asphalt company officially outlining their options to remedy our driveway.

Contrary to what he said last week, he's now saying we have to either go with PaveCoat, which he will pay for... BUT only after we pay the remainder of the initial driveway cost!  

Bearing in mind the driveway is now fucked, and has a great big hole in it!

Or he refunds our deposit and literally walks away, leaving it up to us to sort out!  

WHAT A FUCKING WANKER.  That is NOT what he proposed last week.

He said he would rip it up and redo it, and we pay the remaining initial amount.

Or he engages the Pavecote man to paint over the driveway, making it LOOK BETTER.

I am livid.  I have just sent Stew 'Ks' latest offering.   He's going to hit the roof.

ABOVE:  11.30 am and Lacy has done like, 5 loads of rocks!

ABOVE:  Looking good!  Looking like we will need to buy in a small trailer load of bigger rocks to complete the job.  I just want it done now.

ABOVE: I thanked Lacy... by cooling her down.  😂😆😇  She loved it.

Barbara:  YES, we have the recording of our meeting with K from last week.  In triplicate.

1.50 pm:  I've not heard from Stew, which means he's bloody busy.  I will let ya all know what we are going to do about the driveway once we know ourselves.

So Stew is on a conference call ALL DAY, but he's had a chance to look at the email from 'K'.  He said we will have to reply to it tonight, once he's home.  Steve will be able to help us with it too.

I have also contacted another Asphalt Company, asking them to come out and quote to rip it all up and do it again.  So we know exactly what it will cost us, if we take our deposit back from 'K', and start again.

I CANNOT BELIEVE we have had yet another bum job done here.  Are we fucking jinxed or what?

9.34 pm:  Nice quiet afternoon here.

I made Stew and I a Rice and Chicken dish for dinner.

Then Steve, Bex and the boys called in for a swim.  I joined them.  It's about the only way to cool down right now.

Though last night I had a cold shower just before bedtime.  That did help too.

We are now just chilling out till bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
