Taking her life in her hands, she rang BT sales department to find they had computer problems and our order was stuck as \u2018pending\u2019 in the system. The only problem was that no one knew what exactly it was pending for and it wasn\u2019t brought to anyone\u2019s attention. A lovely lady called Rona, or Rhona or something like that, was able to persuade the system to let go of our order and send it through to the right people to do the work. It\u2019s always worrying though when they end the conversation with \u2018If you haven\u2019t heard from us within seven days \u2026\u2019 At that point, you just know you\u2019re going to have to get in touch with them again. Thanks to the lovely Rona, the call wasn\u2019t as painful as my Mistress was expecting. Although, the l bloke called Pascale the other day, who spoke to her for a short time before transferring her to someone else, really did have a very nice French accent or so my Mistress said!<\/p>\n<p>Today my Mistress is on a mission to buy the final curtains. It is partly complicated by having bought the wrong size for one room and now being desperate to find a matching one so that they can be used in another room. If she fails I suspect we\u2019ll be having some new cushions made out of the material. My Master is off quad-biking for the afternoon, so my Mistress is expecting a large pile of muddy washing to be appearing in the not too distant future. It might be easier just to put my Master in the bath fully clothed, or even to hose him down outside, although I\u2019m doubting that he will be too happy to go along with that plan!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>It may come as no great surprise to you that after the 48 hours my Mistress was promised she still hadn\u2019t heard from BT.
