Just an update for you Guy's
We had the insurance guy around today and he wrote off, both the carpet and the suite.

They won't be sending a cheque but vouchers to replace the goods.

We have to take the vouchers to one of the hundreds of out-lets in the directory he left us (Home comforts) we don't mind that at all as some of the places listed in there are top companies.

Where ever we decide to spend the vouchers we have to give them £125 to cover our access.

I would Just like to say thank you to everyone who gave advice and for the email's and phone calls.

A big thank you guy's, I'm back in the Boss's good books now. 'O' and I've been banned from painting ever again (great news Lol)

Just like to say a big thank you to all you guy's who gave me advice regarding the above issue.
The insurance came through today ;D for the carpet, We found out that there sending a cheque for the suite (don't ask me why they operate this way)


We have to give the carpet company £125 excess that's £100 for the excess and £25 because it was an accident ::) what a weird insurance company we have, this was are first claim in 30 years, so we had no problems with the claim.

Popped down to our local carpet right, just to get an idea on carpet pricing and to replace our axminster is just over £1000 ;D

We may not go for the axminster, if we don't, there will be enough money in the kitty to go for a good quality front room carpet, including grippers, underlay and fitting, if we go for the wilton that the Boss liked, we will also be able to buy carpets, underlay and fitting of new carpets for the hall, stairs and landing. ;D ;D

Any tips of what to look out for on a good carpet, some we seen, you were able to wash with bleach and others had a 7 year stain guard, are these point worth the paper there written on?

Once again the Boss and I would like to thank all you guy's. ;)

Do yourself a favour and go to an independent retailer, anyone but carpetright.
