My wife wants a new kitchen.
3 weeks ago I emailed 6 kitchen companies with measurements, a layout and photos of our current kitchen and asked them to confirm interest and give us an idea of how to proceed so they could create designs and quotes. I confirmed my budget which is £60k (including flooring, appliances etc).
4 have yet to reply.
1 replied saying they will reply properly within 2 weeks (that's 3 weeks ago), still nothing
One replied with a series of questions.
I asked my wife the questions by forwarding her the company's email. That was also 3 weeks ago. I chased her 1 week ago. Still no reply from the Mrs.
No one, including my wife, has replied. I was about to chase everyone when I realised I'm chasing people to get them the kitchen they want/give them my money and I couldn't care less about a new kitchen.
So, should I....
1. Just leave it until someone, including my wife, comes back to me.
2. Just leave it until say, April (surely a suitable amount of time?) and if no one comes back to me buy another car.
3. Sort it all out and just accept people are useless.
4. Something else
Of course I do need to bear in mind that I'm liable to wake up dead if I blow the kitchen budget on another car but if no one gives a monkeys, why should I?
Obviously this being PistonHeads I'm expecting some well thought out, sensible advice here. Under no circumstances would I expect people to start posting pics of cars they would buy with the money to try and tempt me into what any sane man can see would be marital suicide. Honest.

tad over budget, but you may as well treat yourself for the trouble.

guess which one the door fell off?
Its a fairly big kitchen.
As for no balls I have a reasonably big garage with a driving sim, gaming rig, 2 post lift and a Ford Model A Phaeton (bought this year), a new Porsche (bought this year), E92 M3 and an MK Indy R sat in it as well as umpteen other toys. Given that's 11.7 litres of fun all tucked up every night when my wife's tiguan is sat on the drive (quite funny to see her scraping her windscreen when i drive my frost free car out of the garage each morning) I dont think pistonhead balls is my problem. :-)
But lets not get off topic. It was intended as a light hearted thread about the uselessness of some people and how some businesses dont seem to want our business. Will I go and spend the kitchen budget on another car? Probably not. Will I threaten to if she doesnt get her arse in gear, yup. Will I buy another car as well anyway? Probably.
Chip shop you say? Hmm....

Seriously. How many humans do you really think spend £60k on a kitchen by email?
You need to identify some decent suppliers and go and talk to them. Or phone them up and invite them round for a preliminary discussion. I prefer the former as a first point of contact - see them on their own ground and weigh them up.
They will almost certainly want some serious cash up front from you, so choose carefully!
