£30 has been deposited into my account by my bank as an apology for the utterly sh*te handling of my address change and subsequent debacle. Could be worse 😆

Another shortie. Still feeling like i’m nursing us back to health as a family unit somehow but i do know it is working. Sometimes i wonder why a side effect of pregnancy (or at least of repeated pregnancy) can’t be a spare arm. Lord knows i could use it better than my spare tyre. 🙄 […]

….4+1 is mayhem 🙂 Quick blog as i’m trying to get back into the habit but i’ve got a heap of work to do; todays order count ended up at 10, a lot for a monday, plus the 8 that came in overnight or late yesterday that are still sitting on my desk ready for […]

SO i used the opportunity to apply for a merchant account, apply for a […]
