Slightly annoyed

Oi! J Parker Dutch Bulbs Ltd (aka MirrorGarden). Why haven't you delivered the bulbs I ordered in August? It is now the end of September and it is getting cold, and I'm not particularly fond of digging and planting things in cold weather. Does awful things to my hands, it does. I have lots on the over the next couple of months and won't be able to do bulby things until November. I hate November and it's harsh weather, but I don't blame you for that. I only blame you for the lack of bulbs.

I am intrigued as to why, for the past two weeks on my weekly "Hello, where are my bulbs?" phone call, you've told me that the order is about to be despatched when some items aren't even in stock? Could you not send out the bits that are in stock, then post the rest off when you get them, what with you only making a single flat rate charge towards postage and packaging of £3.45 per order, regardless of how many actual deliveries result from the order. That is what the webpage tells me.

It's been so long that the border thingy round the patio that I dug out in preparation for Autumn Flowering Crocus (Speciosus Conqueror, whatta name) has grassed over. This is not good.

I'm so annoyed that I'm going to do an 'Oi! J Parker Bulbs! Where's my stuff-o-meter' on the top lefthand column of this page when I update it. Then again, the bulbs would have probably turned up by the time I've done that.
