She has bought a new carpet and it needs to be cut to size and laid by 'carpet fitters'. Who will no doubt drink an awful lot of tea, hum and ha over having to move furniture, fit the carpet in 15 minutes flat, charge a huge fee and refuse to move the furniture back in!

So your ones did fit the carpet in the end, Nona. Hmm. I suppose you wouldn't happen to have their phone number to hand?
