Oops!

Today we got our bark chip delivered for the garden we created over Easter. Only problem was they delivered it to the wrong house! We were patiently waiting for it as it was supposed to be here between 9 and 10am but it didn't come. Andrew rung them up and was told that it had already been delivered. Turns out he came at 7.30am and dumped it on a neighbours front lawn a couple of houses over. Big oops! We moved it with the help of Andrews Dad and did the best we could to clean it all up off the lawn and the driver came back to check it out as well. The neighbours weren't home and we haven't seen them yet. Not quite sure how to explain it to them as they don't speak much English so might just write a note and pop it in the letterbox. As a result of the mistake they have given us a voucher for $70 off our next order. Yahoo - no excuses now not to do the gardens around the back.


Am getting fed up with blogger as it doesn't like doing any photos at the moment so will have to wait until it gets its act together.

Argh. Blogger hasnt let me post pictures for over a week. (i can post from my mom's laptop - how weird it that?) It does it to me regularly.

Hope your neighbours are understanding....and enjoy spending your $70!

Oh dear, that sure was a big oops! Seems a bit rough that you two had to do the shifting, they should have come back with a little digger or something. Bet that gardens looking super awesome.
