update 08/01/10
Some positives today..
I managed to repatriate my son (borrowed a 4 x 4 !)
We managed to recover our lorry from the ditch, - just incase you ever have to do this i must warn you digging a 3.5 ton lorry out of a snowdrift with one set of wheels in a ditch is not fun!
Louise packed nearly all of the hardware orders today on her own - they are ready to go as soon as royal mail get here (when?)
We have cleared a decent sized roadway down to our packing unit and showroom to enable local customers to get in and delivery lorries etc to get down to us. - Another note digging out 50ft of driveway covered in 6-12" of snow and ice with a spade is also not fun (B&Q had sold out of shovels!)
Our Courier - APC came to us in a 4x4 pick up and took some parcels, obviously not as many as need to go but its a start.
Still no sign of the Royal Mail???? - Royal Mail where are you!!! we haven't seen you since Tuesday - surely you must have cleared some snow by now, surely your vans are out and about by now! Royal Mail come back we miss you! 2 out of 10 for effort guys and girls.
Looking forward... Its going to be another extremely cold week, theres going to be some more snow, we will send out your orders if you want us to - but at your own risk and as and when we are able to do so....
we have agreed with another company that we work in co-operation with that they will send out orders on our behalf next week if need be, they are outside london so we have a good back up plan in place!
I will be personally e-mailing all customers who have a livefood order held up at the moment to find out if you want us to send it at your own risk or not - i will be doing this saturday and sunday.
