BETTER LATE THAN NOT AT ALL

Hi Everyone

Sorry I am late.

We have been having problems with a laptop I invested in on Good Friday!!

I have been saving up for ages so I could have a sparkly new one (even passing up goodies at the NEC in preference) but the one we got on Good Friday was giving us problems so we took it back last night and they exchanged it  .. .. and guess what?  Yep .. .. the new one has exactly the same problem.  
So that had to go back tonight .. .. how much time have we wasted between Good Friday and now!!!!  WAY TOO MUCH!!!  GRRR!!!

So we took the replacement one back and simply got my money back tonight.  I wasn't going to risk the "third time lucky" theory .. .. we have wasted enough time, diesel and patience to risk it again.

As we returned it tonight we were told another couple had returned one as well with the same problem.  Sounds like a faulty batch!!!

So now I have made my excuses here is my super late and simple share:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3212K" Much Gifted!
Backing Papers and Sentiment:  "Pink Petticoat"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers

and that is all (apart from the little hidden heart of course).

If I had an image of someone putting a sledgehammer through a laptop I would have used that but sadly I didn't so I went for calm and cute instead !!!!!  LOL!!!

OK time to try and recoup some of that time that I have lost.

Catch you again tomorrow

Love

    A fantastic card, although it took me a couple of minutes to find the sneaky little heart!
    How annoying about the laptop.

    What a shame the laptop didn't work out - I love the shiny feeling from new tech but it wears off quickly.

    Lovely card but the heart is VERY hidden tonight :(

    Hi Jules, IT...don't you just love it!!! At least you got your money back & you can reinvest at a later date.

    I thought it would take me a while to spot the heart...but no...about 20/30 seconds. Very sneaky though!

    Love the image and great colouring as always.

    Hugs, Pauline x

    I spotted it Jules, well hidden though. Sorry you've had such bad service, it's so annoying but at least you got your money refunded. Good luck with a new purchase!

    Love your card, the colours are beautiful and I adore the stamp. It looks like a stamp that you can enjoy colouring, if you understand what I mean?

    Have a good evening, love Rach

    I just bet you aren't feeling cool and calm after that experience, hate when you get something new and shiny home all excited and then it doesn't work as planned, very grrrr indeed. Love the card and I found the heart too, woohoo. Take care, Lyn x

    That's a sneaky one - but I found it. It's a lovely cheerful card and I'm surprised you managed that with all the laptop problems. How annoying and frustrating. Hope you manage to get fixed up with a decent one soon.
