It's here, and is in a half assembled state in the living room. It is this way for two reasons. The first, that they (him and our mate) started putting it up about 10:30pm last night and had to stop before the neighbours really start to hate us. The second, because it's not quite flush in parts. Basically, it's not the most well made item in the world. Oh, and after all the fuss it's also not here. There is a sliding shelf part missing and the runners to which this should be attached are broken. Tomorrow starts the massive task of trying to claim those pieces.
In another stroke of genius, the parcel company came round again to deliver the item for a second time, even though we already had it. Turns out the driver didn't look in the back of his truck before turning up and didn't even check to see if he had our item. All this would have been fine had it not been for the fact that I had to go this evening to claim our non-existent parcel because no one thought to tell me it was all some moron's fault for not checking before he left the depot. To add to my woes I couldn't get out of their elaborate one way system in the dark to leave the bloody car park and had to drive round it twice before some kindly trucker pointed it out to me. All this made me half an hour late home and a bit more grumpy than usual.
