Aunty e Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 The first person who gets a delivery date has to tell us when! And post pictures! and stuff. I want my cube (and my new chookies ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Were you given a provisional date, Aunty e ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Still no definite news Auntye I think Dan and I and Anniep were among the first to order I think we have a provisional date of mid May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I don't think anyone will get their cube until mid-May at the earliest. The Omlet website says, "The current delivery time for an eglu cube is the middle to end of May". Does it make any difference, I wonder, which colour you have ordered? Do they do runs of colours?

redfrock Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 no provisional date, just want it. Gosh, I'm pathetic. act like a grown-up Eirian. and I am being just as pathetic because I want you to get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Does it make any difference, I wonder, which colour you have ordered? Do they do runs of colours? I wondered that too, they must do, and I was imagining that they'd be running out of purple. I feel pathetically desperate too Auntye, eversince I "rashly ordered it", you're right Gallina. Now I'm not sure if I took pulling out the droppings tray into a/c I feel a tiny bit sorry for Omlet if we all compare oder dates/provisional dates & actual delivery dates. Some can't possibly be in the "right" order, if you take into a/c delivery areas on different days, some with hens, some without, and Eglus being ordered all the time that we don't know about on this forum. I'm sad if I miss mid May, although it's likely, because I def. need to be here to settle the new hens (I'm dreading the noise for the neighbours as much as anything, having recently already introduced a new pair ). I was hoping they would all be new together, but these will be mature when the others arrive! But, I'll be away for a few days at the end of May, prob. the very week to be suggested, which makes it June. Then, I may as well defer until 16th when OH is way, so I can settle Tots & Reg without so many Just remembered, I've told him about the Cube, but not the new pair. He was a bit and and at the last 2. Perhaps I should smuggle them in the 1st day he's away & let him think he's imagining things. But that would make it June 16th, I can't wait that long! Plus, 2 are sleeping out (in foxproof run) because of the overcrowding, I didn't think it would be for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Theory.... Once they've made my red cube they will be out of red colour to mix with the blue which means purple people will have to wait longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well Sheila you better have yours before I make my final visit to my parents this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 You'd be very welcome Bronze. Did you know the College is being knocked down for housing? I've just discovered that I'm your parents' generation, not yours. Still, if I don't think about it (dwell, dwell.... ) I feel younger, and think of Omleteers as contempories, so it's a bit of a shock to the system if I stop to think about it. Anyway, always a cuppa here for you, Bronze. xx Good theory, Jaime Here is my theory...cough.... They might do light colours first, purple last?

As I advised before Sheila, just wait till he notices - could be a while as the Omlet pair will look similar to the others - . When he says "Are those new chickens?" you can reply, "What? Those old things? No, we've had them ages." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yes, they should look like miniature versions of Penny & Chuckles, and if they move quickly..... It was more of a giveaway with the others which were a totally different colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Just leave some of the fishing tackle brochures around Sheila - encourage him to order more stuff he doesn't need ................. and book more fishing trips ................. - he won't have a leg to stand on!

Sheilaz Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Yes, that has been my trump card so far, Lesley. When he pulled a face at the last 2 newbies, I pointed out that he wouldn't like me to pull that face when he goes fishing. He was speechless for a bit, so I do have that up my sleeve for next time too. Anyone been given a date yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 New Theory They are going to follow all the colours of the Speculum Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain So I still get mine before Purple people In fact Reds get their's first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the extra chickens how about going down the 'well I told you about the cube' route 'and you have to order at least 2 chickens with an eglu so I got these two' And then hope and paray he doesnt check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I'll settle for 18...thank you! Bronze, that's clever, of course. The new cube comes as a package with 2 hens doesn't it?

Jaime Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Dear 18 year old Sheila How can you possibly think purple comes before Red? Every one knows they will do the PRIME Colours first Red Yellow Blue and then they will have to guess a bit for the "blends" Green, Purple etc. So I still get my Red one first!

AnnieP Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 At this point Clare, I'm gonna stamp my foot and say Dan beat me by about 10 minutes when ordering, and Kate wasn't too far behind us..... If we don't get our Eglus first there's gonna be trouble...... you'd better tell the fab four there could be a mutiny on their hands.......
