When will it end?

Work has finally started on getting our flat back to normal. The plasterer has been to fix the ceiling in the shower room. It is now a nice shade of pink and is waiting for the decorators.

While he was working, we thought it would be a good idea to get George Wimpey in to re-lay the floor in the bathroom, which is a separate claim - the cracks were covered under the warranty because the floor had been incorrectly laid in the first place.

The first day of work went ok (except for the layer of white dust which covered our entire bedroom), the tiles were removed and a special layer put down to cover the bits of cement which wouldn't come up.

The second day, when the lads took the tiles out of the box, they called me in to point out that they weren't really the sort of blue we were looking for. Arse!!!!!

I could have said fine, lay them anyway but to be honest, in our bathroom light they looked black.

So, to cut a long story short. We now have no floor in our second bathroom! And won't have for about another three weeks while Wimpey sorts out the tile cock-up, which they tried to blame ME for! God knows how it was my fault when they went to the shop, chose the tiles and bought them without me ever seeing them.
