Hi, thank you for responses. It was standard stuff they ordered to uplift and rearrange their kitchen. They had the kitchen measured and discussed available new cupboard/worktops etc. from the Homebase range to best fit the new planned layout. They chose from what was available and planned to arrange own contacts to fit it…

It’s Homebase

They did order in store. I will ask to see contract and see what small print says. They are elderly couple so I guess these stores do experience these situations where customers circumstances change. I just wondered if anyone on here has encountered similar experience.

Thanks I will get him to try all the advice on here and we will of course help them until they get organised :)

I am happy to stay with them for the interim and until arears is paid but am disappointed that no email was sent to prompt tariff was ending in August, we have automatically been on a high tariff since August which clearly we would not have opted for.

Just to clarify the points you raised AndyBSG my brothers wife had suddenly & tragically passed away shortly before my father discovered my brothers deception. The illicit bank transfers had already taken place before she died and the later realisation that she too was highly likely to have known (& possibly even been…

Well I thought I had begun to put this behind me but maybe I spoke too soon :0( Having not seen or heard from any of my wider family members on dads side since his funeral has been dissapointing but I think it was all somewhat of an elephant in the room for many of them. The consolation of not seeing anyone has been at…

I am ok thank you, getting on with my life but missing my dad & especially dreading our first Christmas without him. Still feel periods of great sadness & confusion about everything but I no longer let those thoughts consume my days. My children & grandchildren are my whole world. Thank you for asking & I wish everyone on…

On Tuesday we put my lovely dad to rest with a very apt and personal ceremony with words and music chosen by myself and my sons. All his great grandchildren who loved him dearly attended and behaved beautifully throughout bless them. A vast number of old and new friends, past colleagues and extended family attended showing…

I am not at all offended EE it was very lovely gesture bless you but I am so sensitive about anyone thinking anything I do or have done for dad was in any way money motivated so it was worrying me a little :o It is now Monday and I have some useful contacts of people who I can speak to now the weekend is over, I feel…

Please know everyones responses always help me. It is reasuring to drop in when things get too much & I can guage the views of strangers when I am full of self-doubt. Every time I come back on here I have felt reasurance that I am 'normal' & sometimes I get a reality check which helps me get things in perspective & that is…
