26th Jan 2007
Moving swiftly on, weekends don’t quite hold the appeal they used to for me. This no-alcohol thing is getting tiresome. However, looking on the bright side the Sandison family are delighted to have a new arrival – 19 in fact - which should ensure hours of entertainment. Such was the intense excitement surrounding this latest adventure that I was forced to chase the people who were delivering the little beauties to us….see their email response below. As I said to the kind person, Bob’s godfather, who gave him Antworks, a transparent box full of strange translucent blue gel into which the ants tunnel, what is this strange world into which we have entered? “Exceptionally high demand”??? For ants????

Thanks for your email.

We can confirm receipt of your order which is in processing.

As stated on the website orders may take up to 10 *working* days under normal circumstances.

However, there is exceptionally high demand at the moment which is causing delays in addition to the usual delivery time.

You should receive your ants within the next week when we are able to send you enough ants to ensure you receive a good sized batch (we always try to send as many ants as possible).

We apologise for any inconvenience this temporary unforeseeable exceptionally high demand may have caused and thank you for your understanding and patience.

Thanks,
The team at Breezily.co.uk

P.S. The ants arrived in a test-tube through our letter box although, sad to say, 6 were DOA and one more died shortly afterwards when it got stuck trying to squeeze through a minute air hole in the Antworks box.
