Kim ring the clown up and order a whole load MORE blinds then get your mate to do the same then on the last day of your cooling off period ring him and tell him you've made a "mistake" and you can't afford them all after all....

ps...If the bloke gives you a hard time tell him"my TINY gets home from Iraq NEXT WEEK,he's with delta force you know",when the bloke's changed his pants he'll cancel the order no problem.....

It is soooo evident when you walk in my house that there is no man around... it's a girly girl house for sure!!!

I did call the national company and asked if a salesperson can call the next morning and change the price. The person on the phone looked up my order and told me that he had input it in their system to start the order this morning for my $849 and that it will be honored at that price.

I hope she is right but there are no managers available until Monday to confirm 100%. She was very nice and said that salespeople have to honor their quotes once it's in writing and a deposit is made!

Thanks for the good laugh though!! I LOVED your suggestion!

Kimmie I have got to ask you what size blinds these are. The prices just seem so high? I think the faux wood blinds 72X64 run around $80 over at Lowe's. That's what I put up in my place (smaller size though).

I didn't measure them... but I think I remember seeing his measurements... there are 5 windows the same size 34 wide by 55 long, one that is 28 wide by 50 long and one very big window in my dining room that is 50 wide by 58 long. Roughly...

The price was to have them professionally installed and they come with a lifetime guarantee. Since I'm not all that handy in the home improvement dept. and I want them to look good - I usually hire out my projects. If it's just a small project, my Brother does it, but this is 7 windows... a lot of work. I priced the blinds separately and it was around $575 or so... the rest would be labor for installation. I didn't think that was too bad?

But... for $1612... that's almost $1000 for installation.

Yeah, $1000 to install them is crazy.

Good morning all! Wish me luck as we are going to the state fair today. My child likes to ride the spinning rides that make me hurl. Maybe this year he's old enough to ride alone with a friend . I'll eat a fried Snickers for y'all! Yes, I'll wait until all the rides are done before I eat

My stomach hurts just thinking about the fried snickers.

Awe, come on! You better toughen that stomach up before we cruise! You will be amazed at all the food around! Me, I like to think of it as grazing for a week!

Not to mention if you are planning on doing the martini/wine/beer tasting with me!

Hi Everyone, I lurk and will post once again once this year's cruise is over.

The December double dip has over 180 people from the DIS and family members sailing. It has been crazy keeping up on that thread, let alone posting here. They are now at over 2200 pages and adding over 50 pages a day, it is a part-time job in itself.

Since I feel kind of out of it here, it is hard to post and make sense, sorry. I will come back soon, but will keep reading!

Babs417,Welcome back hope you had a great time (you see pjpoohbear it's only mickey holidays without US that set off are jealous tendencies.. )

ps...The kids have informed me come the weekend it's 365 days and counting before we set off across the duck pond....

I think i'll start a list of things to do before we cruise....

Earn the cash to pay for the trip (selling my body is out for starters the last time i tried that they asked "did i have change for a dollar")
Start doing the bench presses (you'll understand when you see wife's and DD cases,i swear that's the only reason why they invite me along in the first place)
Order a tanker to bring the fake tan (am just a shade whiter than mike bottle white,thats me)

If anyone can think of anything ive missed feel free to leave your idea on here......
