The joys of February
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007I have had a really horrible bout of flu and am not feeling at all well even though I’ve been back at work for a week. We’ve got two small children and the number and virulence of the diseases they bring to the house never ceases to amaze me. Quite apart from the fact that they cry incessantly for a few days and then seem perfectly OK, whereas I feel terrible for a few days, and then slightly less terrible for a couple of weeks more. It is all very unfair.
But it is work of which I write, and the big push in the last few days has been filling refill pouches with liquid soap. This is for customers to use instead of buying full bottles with pumps. A refill pouch costs less and is less wasteful in terms of packaging. A bottle with pump will last for years and thousands of dispenses, so we think this will be a popular addition to our range. So far we are only producing then for our contract customers as we need quite large orders to make it economic, but one day we will bite the bullet and make some Droyt Liquid Soap refill packs. Hopefully our online shop will be up and running next month so perhaps they’ll be ready for then. I think it is always important to be optimistic even when flying in the face of experience.
Cough cough
