susiej Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Not quite as much as Mr B Matthews of Norfolk - but approaching it! My eglu was due to arrive today - I specifically requested Tuesday as its my day off. I waited in until 3pm - school - no sign. I called the office and they confirmed it was scheduled for today andshould be with me by 5pm, Anyway still no sign at 5pm so I rang again; they rang the courier who said they hadn't received the eglu as yet for delivery Fingers crossed it will be here tomorrow - I hope it is here by saturday as we are due to pick up our hens at weekend!

Linda Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Oh Susie, how disappointing. You'll have to ring up in the morning to find out what is happening. I think it is quite normal for potential eglu/chicken owners to momentarily lose their virtue of patience when awaiting the arrival of said eglu and chickens.

Trish Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Oh that must be so disappointing. I suggest you get onto Omlet first thing in the morning as they are usually extremely efficient. I'm sure they'll get thigns sorted out in time for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiej Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Its arrived!! Cant wait to get home from work and the kids in bed (isn't that awlful) so I can unwrap and play with my new toy! It is in large boxes at the momen. But I had a peak through the handle hole - the blue is like that of the picture on the shop site at the moment - a little darker , not so bright as previous blue - which is fine by me as I like the look of the pic on the shop site. Chicks at weekend now YIPEE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Wonderful.... I'm hoping that my red eglu and Chooks will arive tomorrow.... Weather permitting Penny Phoned to say I'm on the list but they will have to play it by ear because of the snow warnings. There will be an outcry in Stockport if it doesn't arrive..... We will all go Tut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The Snow mobile Cant get through to Stockport today, although we have no snow. It springled a tiny amount during rush hour but in most places you cant tell. So Omlet have phoned and my eglu is now expected on Monday - so a whole weekend to wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susiej Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hopefully the cold weather will be over by Monday so your new chickens Jamie will have missed the worst of the weather, We had a fair bit of snow here this morning - late for work, most schools closed. Most of it has gone now though! Going to get the run assembled later - it looks a bit completcated! Will be ready for my hens - going to collect Saturday or Sunday.
