So phase 1 of the redecoration master plan begins....
Before it does I decide I will go and order some new carpet that I had already looked at.
So off I pop to the shop ...go up to the bloke and say " I would like to order some carpet please".
" Certainly madam ...come and sit at my desk so I can take your details "
So he takes down the make of the carpet and colour I want and then asks how big it is.....so I tell him how many sq metres are required.
"did your husband take the measurements madam "
" No " I said " I did "
"oh - we can offer a free measurement service if required madam " he kindly offered
" No thank you . I can measure the size of a room " I said , getting increasingly miffed
" Are you sure you don't want to take us up on the offer - we can have someone to do in the next couple of days " he irritatingly said
"NO " I said
" Very well madam but once it's ordered it can't be changed "
