    Morning!!!! Oh what a lovely day, the sun is shining, is tax credit wednesday, it's halloween, but more importantly ............ THE KIDS HAVE GONE BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!

    Excuse my excitement, but it's been a long half term as we had teacher training days added on too, so they have been off since 19th October. My DS1 is having his first full day at school today and is feeling really excited at finally being allowed to take a packed lunch.

    It seems (when I phoned customer services) that the handles are correct, they were the ones that came with the 2 wardrobe and 1 chest of drawers deal. However, all the rest of the range (Manilla from MFI) have long slim handles and they sent me curved short handles......not exactly matching and there was nothing to say buying the 'TV package' meant getting different handles.

    I'm going to say that if they are the correct handles, how come the holes drilled in the drawer fronts are in the position for the longer handles.........:cool:

    Someone was supposed to call me on Monday from the store but they didn't, so the next stage is i'll call the store. And then I'll be taking a little visit there if no joy..........

    Probably my punishment for haggling so hard. Not only did I get it all 'free' due to Tesco points converted into MFI vouchers, I haggled so hard he threw in a £125 suede headboard on top of the 2 wardrobes, 2 bedside cabinets, 2 chests of drawers and a fridge freezer I'd saved the points for. The head board was definitely for free as it took me over my £1250 budget by exactly £125.......we agreed the price and then I pulled out all the vouchers.........'hhhm' he said. 'I think you've just done me here.........':rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Oooo Well Done!

    My Mother would be proud! That's just the sort of thing she would do! You can but ask. I would go with the hole option.

    Let us know how you get on!
