I think I may have lost the plot. We recently decorated a new bedroom for DD1 to move into, to free up her bedroom for DD2 (3 storey house, wanted DD2 on same floor as us as she still wakes in the night etc). To put it in context, our house needs a fair bit of work and we are short of time to get stuff done (4yo and 1yo, both work full time) so this was A Big Deal. DH painted the room in DD1's chosen pink, I bought new curtains and I ordered a bed, bedside table and wardrobe online for the room from a large retailer. The matching chest of drawers was out of stock. I emailed to check it wasn't discontinued and was assured more stock would be coming soon, so ordered the other items to make sure they didn't go out of stock in the meantime, and put a stock alert on the drawers.
About 2 weeks later, they came back in stock. I ordered and got a delivery date. At that point, I told DH it was safe to unpack and assemble the other items as the drawers were coming. The shop then called me on the delivery date to say they had a problem with the courier and I had to rearrange delivery, but when asked they assured me they didn't have an issue with the stock, it was just that the courier had a backlog. They gave me a new delivery date a week later.
2 days after that, I got an email to say the order had been cancelled. No explanation, just 'your order has been cancelled, we have refunded you'. I rang up to ask what the problem was and they said it was cancelled because they had tried to call me with additional security questions (wtf??) and I hadn't been able to answer them! This was utter bullshit.
So, the manager I spoke to told me he would personally set up the stock alert and order the drawers for me when they came back into stock. They offered me a substantial discount on the listed price and were very apologetic. But it's now one month later and no sign of these fecking drawers coming back in stock. I emailed the manager I'd spoken to and asked when they are likely to come, and he has essentially told me to choose another chest of drawers and he will sell them to me for a greatly reduced price.
I do not want another design. The range I have chosen is very distinctive. I do not want my only nicely decorated room in my whole house (which is a crumbling shithole in every other room) to have mismatched furniture, like a jumble sale. I have spent savings on getting a full matching set for this room. I would have just bought random cut-price items if I didn't mind it looking like a mish-mash. I do mind. I have lost all reason and have told them that if they can't get the matching chest of drawers I don't want any of the rest of the set and they can come and collect it and refund me. DH is terrified that I might just be serious. I am absolutely, deadly serious.
So, do I just need a stiff gin and a lie down and to get over myself? Or is it entirely reasonable that I want just one room in my house to look naice? I really don't know any more.
I never thought I would be the sort of person to lose my shit over a sodding chest of drawers, but it seems I am.
