I'll make this one really short, I promise.

Last night I did our groceries online with Woolies, and set the delivery time up for this afternoon, between 1-3:30pm.

The doorbell rang at about 2:15pm, just as I'm feeding Erin, and by the time I get the bottle off her, get to the door and open it - (pardon the stereotyping here) there's this big, strong looking polynesian fulla sitting on my doorstep grimacing in pain, next to a very squashed looking bunch of groceries.

Turns out there's a well disguised hole in my front lawn, and he's probably sprained it pretty bad *sigh* Thank heavens he was pretty laid back and not angry about it, that would have really made my day

While I was unpacking the groceries I told him to sit still and rest it for a bit, he managed to get his shoe and sock off, and it was already turning purple - so I made him ring the office and get another driver to come out and pick him up.

Man, sometimes it really feels like karma is out to bite you in the ass !!

Boy oh boy, it is a bit like you have the star of s**t over you at the moment! (Thats what my family calls runs of bad luck!)

One could say that the delivery guy should not be walking on customers lawns though - and that he should walk on the path, that way you can't fall down hidden grassy holes!

Maria - yep, fortunately no real damage was done ! Although my invoice was interesting, it listed everything I had ordered, but there was no total cost charged - just said $0.00 !?!? I'm not going to hold my breath that I've just ended up with free groceries though LOL

And miss - I agree about not walking across lawns, and ours is on a slope too, so I am always careful... but he looked too sore, so I kept the admonishments to myself

So, scrambled eggs for tea tonight??
Glad he's okay though, and fingers crossed for the bill to stay at $0.00!
