    I find to help the stress of waiting for delivery or appointments to the house, I make them the first thing in the morning. I delay any trips to town that day and have some projects at home to finish.

    :wideyed: Yes I know, I have been here long enough to have come to terms with it but I just can't do do 2 things at once in Different Parts of the City. Today I have a Load of Top Soil Coming, What time I ask, OH! before 5.30 maybe 4.30. OK so then I sit and have Coffee, Now as I write at 9.30 My Gardner has not Turned in again.
    I am due in town to talk to a lady about a favour/Buisiness for a Friend here on DI. So I ask My maid Will you see it in for me (The Topsoil) but Sir Ma'am gave me the Afternoon off to go to my Sisters.
    So I ring her indoors in the Office and get the Well, you can be there can't you. YEP of course where else should I be but here or rather I should be in town at 12 noon to do something YOU said, you would attend to.
    AH! Sorry, next time. I was busy Yesterday (eating no doubt for a Birthday) and ran out of time so I have to work harder this morning When OH! When, are they ever going to learn, TIME is one of the most costly things we have. Great pains I think we take to make the Day go by and do the things we need to do But NO! It is more fun Our Way (Theirs I mean) . YEP! and at our cost, either in Cash, Lost time or Materials we can't always get Back. I can't go if it is not here before 11 as they may come this Afternoon and will Tip it out side on the Road :nailbiting: and be GONE in 1/2 an hour to some other Garden somewhere.
    :sorry: Rant over but I feel better for it :facepalm:
