Good news........bad news

I got an email from the recycling mob company to say that they had received my old mob and they will be sending me a cheque for £95.

Got a childrens wardrobe with some of the fittings from Ikea yesterday but a draw is unavailable and I have to wait until next week to ring them to see if its arrived in the warehouse. This is the second time this has happened with Ikea. So annoying as I wanted to fit it this weekend!

it's a drawer - sorry, pet hate of mine!

Can't you build the rest up and then add the drawer when it comes in? Most flat pack i have assembled would allow you to do that.

[mccfluff]

how are you tigger, not seen you in ages :-)

[tiggerblue10]

Sorry my English is crap! Apparently its a drawer front thats missing and my dad says he won't help me with it until we have all the bits and pieces.

Hi Fluffy I'm fine thanks. I've just come back after several months away, had a baby and was generaly fed up with the abusers on here. At least now if you have an avatar you can tell when an ABer is genuine or not.

No probs tigg - my english isn't perfect, we established on another thread that it's becasue in an english accent the word sounds the same either way - In scotland, it doesn't sound anything alike :o).

You could quite easily get your dad to build up the unit with the exception of the offending drawer and then do that later yourself - it's quite easy to do them and the IKea stuff is usually quite straightforward.

[tiggerblue10]

I've built loads of flat pack stuff from Ikea by myself but I'm alone with baby so I can't really start it as I know I'll have to keep stopping.

[mccfluff]

know what you mean, i just ignore it, if you see mccfluffy with a cat pic its still me just means i'm on my phone

[annie0000]

Yes, I know what that is like. lol

Tell you Dad a wee white lie and get him over to build it all up - the one drawer wont take long to do by yourself. I agree it's annoying, but if you say to your dad that you'll do it yourself if he doesn't come and help and it may make him change his mind!

Good luck with it.

Blimey .. One mobile ... £95!

I'll start collecting them.

[DEN53]

Tigger - how did you get on with your Ebay sale - did the buyer turn up in the end to collect the wardrobe ?

[tiggerblue10]

Well it was an N95 8GB Albags.

Will do Annie.

No Den, the timewaster never turned up nor did they reply to my emails so my dad has smashed it up and taken it to the tip. The other person who won the other wardrobe never contacted me so I've relisted it. I hate time wasters!!!

Drawers are the last bit of self-build jigsaw, tigger, your Dad can just leave that drawer, surely?
I bought a cupboard from MFI before they folded, when it came they had nicked a handle (presumably to put on something else where the handle was missing) - it took nearly six months and letters to their MD to get them to send me a replacement. I was fuming!

[tiggerblue10]

I bet you were Box. Why does it take so long for something missing to be replaced by these big furniture stores!

[annie0000]

box, we had a kitchen supplied and fitted by MFI in one of our previous houses- one of the handles snapped after about 6 months so we popped in to see if we could get replacement handle. They gave us a whole bag full in case any others went. When we opened the bag, there must have been about 20 handles in there! we moved shortly after so left them for the buyers - they must have wondered why we had so many left over.
