Dashed Hopes . . .

Well we've had it now. Our hopes for a cyber BBQ have been diminished. As I peer out of the window to my left, all I can see are dark, menacing clouds and puddles. Luckily the rain that graced us with its presence this morning has left us, but there's definitely promise of more. The sky won't let us down in that department.

It just means we won't be able to have our long awaited for BBQ.

We were supposed to be trying out our new portable BBQ's this summer, in our wonderfully shingled carpark below. We were going to have drinks, food, `sausage` (of the German variety just for Lisa) and a good, well-deserved laugh . . . but it never came around. We were just too busy selling items to everyone out there on the big wide internet.


Of course, the staff at Cybercheckout are big enough and ugly enough to get over this - to forgive . . . but we never forget! All our hopes were up, looking forward to a good shindig that never came around. However, we have means and we have ways of getting our own back. We are now in the month of October, and Christmas is just a mere three months away (and so is my birthday). Just like the summer, this time will fly by, and the money we saved by not having our BBQ I'm sure can be put towards our Christmas Do, ensuring that an even merrier time be had by all . . .

I just have to send out apologies to all those other people who were originally invited:
All our friends in the Leicester warehouse
All our friends at Paypal
All our friends at our sales channel
All our friends at Ebay

. . . .

The list is endless . . .

But then we are a popular bunch . . .
