What a horrible situation and thank goodness you managed to get it all sorted! I work for the Post Office as part of my job and whilst I do love it and enjoy the regular customers I feel sorry for those who come in who have either not received a parcel they were waiting for or someone hasn't received one they've posted. All I can say is it's in the hands of Royal Mail and give them a freepost form to fill out as after it leaves us it's up to Royal Mail to deal with it. To forget to put on stamps is very silly and unprofessional!
In other news, I've gone a bit daft and went on a buying frenzy. I had fallen in love with Riolis Juicy Apples (we have apple trees in our back garden and our house is called Orchard Cottage) and bought it, along with Bright Lemons and Sunny Persimmon, from an Etsy shop YarnStories based in Lithuania, and expect them to arrive in the next couple of weeks!
I also bought three Wrendale kits from the new collection today via Very Crafty

I hope these will arrive in the next day or so. The first of them is 'The Best Treat of All' featuring three gorgeous dogs dressed in their scary Halloween costumes!
The second is 'Little Whispers' which is of two mice surrounded by pink flowers. I've loved this illustration since first seeing it and have been pestering Bothy Threads to make into a kit for a while! My wish was granted!
The third and final Wrendale is a Christmas card which I intend to stitch for my friend, Cheryl. I will switch out the golden metallic thread which I detest for a golden DMC stranded cotton colour.
I also went onto one of my favourite websites
www.stitcher.co.uk to buy some extra fabric. They do the DMC fabric which I prefer as it's rolled and in tubes so no creases. One each of the white 14ct and 16ct and a 14ct oatmeal linen aida and one of each of the 14ct ocean and lilac dyed aidas.
That's it I have way more than enough to be getting on with as is and I really shouldn't have over excessed with all of this stuff but it makes me happy so it must be a good thing right?
