To be fed up with tradespeople

Husband arranged for our downstairs to be redecorated via someone he knows who runs a business (I knew this was a mistake) He told the guy he had the room mostly prepped - sent pictures so could see condition. This was 2 weeks ago and they were meant to be out at that week to make a start. No sign....then it was the following Monday. You guessed it, no sign. Finally show at the end of last week saying walls needed more prep and then lined so they did the prep and said the lining guy would be out to line them they'd be back to paint. Lining guy meant to be out at start this week. Then today. Still not here and now it's lunch time I doubt he'll be here at all.
To make matters worse I'm due to give birth within the next few weeks but really it could be anytime now. Everyone said make the most of your last few weeks being on mat leave....I know I'm lucky to be able to have this time to be at home "relaxing" but honestly I can't even enjoy the end of my pregnancy as I feel like I'm sitting on edge in what feels like squalour (dramatic but everything is now everywhereand have horrid walls) waiting all day for people that don't show. Also don't want to bring baby home to the house like this. I could just sit and cry. My friend had suggested going for a coffee today and I said I couldn't as I was waiting on these timewasters.
