Has the postperson brought you anything nice today?

Got a couple of skeins that I had run out of at home...
2x DMC301 Black, one DMC White/Blanc, and one DMC 3865 "Antique White"??

[Mabel Figworthy]

means not quite bright white but not yellow enough to be off-white

Royal Mail still haven't delivered that package which had Customs duty on it and now of course we're off for the weekend and I bet it won't fit through the letterbox so I'll come home to find another Royal Mail notice saying come and collect it. Hmph.

A Stoney Creek Christmas Collectibles leaflet off eBay and a few Gloriana skeins from an outstanding Sewandso order back in June

[Mabel Figworthy]

Gloriana is lovely!

Was it a bit of a surprise after all that time ?

Absolutely!! I got an email from them asking me to confirm my credit card details for an outstanding order. I rang them as it sounded a bit dodgy, but the order had been outstanding for so long my credit card had expired in that time.

But get this - the lady from SewandSo KNEW my name by my postcode alone!!! HOW MUCH DO I ORDER FOR THEM TO KNOW THAT?? She said I was the only customer at that postcode, but even so!!

They are launching a new website soon, one that keeps details of our addresses etc so we can just log in and easily order even more stuff . I suggested a loyalty reward scheme !

what shocked me today was i was flicking through cross stitcher and saw the "very important stitching shops" and sew and so wasnt mentioned

[Slinky]

Mmmm, I saw that too and thought the same. Perhaps Cross Stitcher were suppporting their advertisers?

A dvd all about driving tests and the highway code for Tom.
This brought it home to me how soon he's going to be able to learn to drive ... I'm holding my car keys just that little bit tighter these days!

A book I ordered online 2 days ago: "Midsomer Murders on Locations" - I love the show, and was really interested in the descriptions of the places. I was a wee bit disappointed, though, because the photos in it are really small and black and white

[Lisa2758]

Yes, I ordered some Qsnaps on Thursday and they came today. Just getting used to them.
