Friday 13th Winner

Our Count the Cats Competition

We all had tremendous fun on the day, with wild guesses and accurate calculations being presented.
The answer was 106 and the winner was Fred Baker. He won our special prize hamper.
Everyone who entered won a prize and joined the fun. Our staff looked fantastic and took a lot of effort and time preparing for the day. Customer reactions were great and there was a lot of laughter all day. Watch for our next fun event!

Untidy Towns

Just One Night of Parties

Maxine and Peter were doing the deliveries on November 1st after Halloween. The amount of bottles, cans and empty six packs and containers was almost unbelievable. Add to this image the number of smashed bottles on the road and you will start to get the picture. You still have to add the discarded fast food wrappers from McDonalds and the chicken and pizza places to get the full view of the terrible condition of streets of Tamworth.
Its amazing that we entered the Tidy Towns competition. It seems that the youth of the city could not give a "stuff" about their rubbish. It was disgraceful. We drove into most streets in South Tamworth and covered over 200km but can't remember one street or cull-de-sac that did not have at least one item of rubbish on the road, gutter or a letterbox. At all times we had to keep watch for broken glass to avoid senseless damage to our tyres.

Friday 13th is Coming Up

Friday 13th

We are getting ready for some fun on this special day. The staff have been preparing their gear for weeks. Come in on Friday and check it out. Join in the fun of the day.

Buy yourself a lucky lottery ticket on the Friday and change your luck. Maybe we can sell another first prize on the special day. We will have a bonus for lottery ticket buyers.

We had a ton of fun on halloween with the shop decked out for the occasion.

See you soon,

Maxine and Peter

During Our Absence ...

Huge Effects On Our Business

After a terrible period of events and incidents over several months, we will attempt to re-launch our blog.

Many things have been happening but they have been overridden by some more momentus events.

In June we had the unexpected and sudden death of a long time member of staff. This flattened everyone in the business. We had to find some new staff to fill the huge gap created in our team and begin the long process of training them.

Maxine and Peter have continued to provide relief on the delivery by doing one day a week and assisting in preparation and wrapping for delivery. They did a full week to provide a small break for our regular deliverer as well as trying to oversee the daily running of the business.

In October we had the sudden and unexpected death of our delivery driver's long time partner. Maxine and Peter stood in for a couple of weeks while lives were reoganised as a result of this tragedy. We are still in the process of finding a driver to work alternate weeks.

Add to this a series of break-ins and damage to our vehicles at home plus other events and it was the blog that suffered for the period. We now hope to have more regular entries with information that will interest you
