Friday Funny, NEW shoes!!

My two naughties & shoe shopping

Big girl naughty will spend all day talking about going shoe shopping, perusing the pretty shoes, choosing shoes, looking at her shoes in the mirror, smiling at the lady as they are paid for and swinging the bag around, swooning over them all day and talking about her NEW shooooes all week.

Completely forgetting her old shoes.

Little boy naughty simply cries and cries THE WHOLE TIME whilst taking off his shoes, having his feet measured, trying on new shoes, choosing new shoes, 

buying his new shoes, on the journey home and on. 

Turns out he doesn't want to be parted from his old shoes.

:(

Goodness me!

Another Happy Customer

It's a New year so I have been spring cleaning our unik office and asking all our customer's to give us a little feedback to make the unik service a better one!

Here is some friendly funny feedback from one of our lovely customers.

Mr Peter Grafton, London

Purchase of two wooden cars for his Nephew, Archie

“I have asked Archie through the medium of paint to describe to me the +vs and -vs of his 2 toy cars.

Here is his response.

The blue and green represents his satisfaction with the cars and the incredible value for money they offer.

The yellow suggests a small intake of breath when he heard about the £5.90 p&p charge..”

Mr Grafton, We are very happy Archie is enjoying his two cars. They are gorgeous! 
Let me explain a little about the £5.90 P&P charge. The £5.90 is simply the price that Royal Mail charges us to send your weighted gift "SPECIAL DELIVERY". This ensures your gift is insured and track able and received the next working day after we post it. The pretty packaging we parcelled your Nephew's gift in was a gift from us to you and your nephew. We parcel all our gifts that way.

We will happily send gifts standard Royal Mail first or second parcel rate if a client stipulates it. There is a notes section on pay pal where you can add comments and request special things like this. We will happily abide and refund the postage difference to you if you choose to do so, if you are happy to run the risk of the gift not being insured, lost or damaged. We choose SPECIAL DELIVERY so that every gift is received safely and quickly with minimum problems.

We are VERY happy that Archie likes his toy cars.

New Shoes!

@ChicUniqueUK Dorothy slippers I love!

This year, is my first year in a very long time that I will not be pregnant. Woo Hoo! The first year I can actually go shopping and buy something that isn’t a tent. I can look like me again rather then a beached whale. I am very excited. Except for the part where I actually hate shopping for me! It fills me with fear as I know I’ll come home with something that I actually don’t like and waste money. I don’t know why I do it. I just do! It’s such a dissapointment.  Anyway, I certainly haven't had time to shop for me since my two naughties have been around.

So instead I am going to make sure I make time to make do and mend and make new things for myself. I’ll re-vamp old well loved pieces, make new things from saved and treasured bits of fabric and mend things that I thought I’d never wear again.

Inspired by a lovely lady on twitter, Lizzie Longworth of ChicUnique who sent me this twitpic just before Christmas. My reply…I love them! After being out bid on a dress she was in love with on ebay,  she made a gorgeous dress herself, and these AMAZING Dorothy slippers to match. I wished I had the time to do things like that again!

So that's my plan for the coming year.

To get the sewing machine out, make specials for me, my naughties and my new home and then ask Lizzie to make me some special shoes!!

New Year! New shoes!
An MUST!
At least shoes always fit!!

And I'm off to recite the Bagpuss Mice song again!
