Hello i am glad to be back again in my office even though it is late at 7.30 pm i have had the day from hell.
It all started nicely this morning with John ringing me telling me our delivery of Fireplaces would be at our factory at Langley Mill at 8.30 am and then returning later on with a load more.
So off i went to the factory opened up and John duely arrived and we unloaded 13 Limestone Mantels (should have guessed then) with the forklift then i left it running whilst we had a cuppa and as we were sat there i heard it sound funny.
As i approched it i smelt it was hot and the Battery light was on yes the fan belt had broke anyway i switched it off to cool down luckily it had not overheated and rung the garage who services our vans and he came and sorted that out within an hour as i had loads to restack and very heavy stoves to load on the van thanks Kam servicing i owe you a drink .
We then had man come to collect Tiger Stove which we loaded and trapped my thumb in the back of his van putting it in i felt like swearing but kept my cool and i must say it is still throbbing now.
Anyway after i had loaded the van for tommorows run to the North West i was putting forklift back into the factory and knocked over three fireplaces which we are due to deliver Friday and was going to get the other van to load that.
Well my heart sank as two of them had been ordered in and are not stock items so i rang supplier asking if they had a Sutton Half Polish in a half polish finish in stock as this was damaged and also a Regal Highlighted fireplace as they were both scratched and now no good to anyone.
Luckily they did so i went to Nottingham to fetch them and came back to factory and loaded that van too and now im safely back at home where i can do no more damage but what can you do now the harms done (kids will just have to suffer in Christmas present list)
So with all the rushing about i have now damaged two Fireplaces and cost myself a few hundred pounds through being careless i will try to sell them at our factory as a second there is always somebody for a bargain with just a few scratches on so if your interested just let me know.
Right off to walk the dog surely nothing else can go wrong today
