Hello?

Just received a call:

Him: "Good Afternoon this is (didn't catch the name he mumbled it) from FB (or maybe it was FP). Can I speak to accounts?"

Me "Could you please tell me what FB (or FP) is and what this call is about?"

Him: "I am sorry I cannot tell you, I would like to speak to accounts"

Me: "I am sorry there is no one called Accounts in this office, Good Bye"

IDIOT! Where do these people learn how to make business calls? I don't need to know your life history or your NI Number but the least you can do is tell me your name clearly & the name of  the company you are calling from if you want to try and sell me whatever it is that I am not interested in buying!

Too many calls like this these days and I am really getting sick of it!  BAH!

#DHLchain Crafty Blogger Challenge: My inspiration

So I signed up for another craft challenge... This time its a little different because its not just jewellery makers but all crafty people. Back in August I received an email from someone called Dan asking if I wanted to be part of DHL Crafty Blogger Challenge. This is the challenge: " The aim of this campaign is for you to share your creative craft skills with another craft blogger, by creating an item for them and sending it via a prepaid DHL courier box." OK... Another challenge... Yeah of course I want to be part of it! So they sent me a DHL box with all the instructions and Hobby Craft Vouchers as a thank you for taking part. Now I am not a regular at Hobby craft but I do like to browse and pick up bits from there on and off, especially when working on packaging ideas, so this is VERY welcome. Thank you  parcel.dhl.co.uk Then I had to wait for my item to arrive from Vintage Magpie Bears  which would be my inspiration and theme for the item I have to make f...
