Don't yer just love the Internet

I had to make some special Valentine's cards this week and one in particular required some gems and ribbon.  Now, as you know I haven't stepped outside the door since last Friday as I have flu and although I can do little bits here and there, I have to keep stopping and having a lie down.  I managed to get all but one done, but there was no way I could get out to the shops to try and find the items I needed.  So on went the computer and I spent a few happy moments searching for the bits. Unfortunately, I saw more bits than I really required, but hey I will now have an arsenal of back-up just in case.  I needed red ribbon and black ribbon, so why not throw in white, cream and navy too - 30 metres on each reel - should see me through a few years!!
Then the gems - ooh I need to stock up on this one, oh and yes, that one, so about 10 packets later...................and a somewhat reduced paypal balance.  Oh, what the hell.  Come on postie!!!

  3. To be honest - I spend way too much money anywhere I shop - lol ..!!
    I agree with Marion though - by the time you add in petrol costs, internet shopping is cheaper. Always good to have supplies on hand too...

  4. Sounds like your online shopping went in the same direction as mine often does Chrissy but hey a girl has to have some fun and we will use everything we buy eventually won't we. And you needed some shopping pleasure to help take your mind of feeling so poorly xx
