All the D's....and a Disappointment

 Boy, oh boy am I glad it's 1st February today.  January has felt like such a long month.  All the D's, in fact: Damp, Dreary, Dismal, Dark and Discouraging.  I can't wait for the lighter nights and warmer weather so that I can get into the garden again.  Today, Graham has spent a few hours at the allotment tackling weeding and the preparation of the beds ready for the new planting.  I was happy to stay at home.....

After the necessary chores had been done, I decided on a bit of cardmaking to take advantage of being undisturbed.  A couple of weeks ago I donated 20 of my cards to my favourite Hospice charity shop in the hope that they would raise some money.  A week later I popped in to ask whether or not there was any interest in them and the volunteer lady said they had been snapped up.  She fished the 5 remaining cards out of the bottom of a box on the very bottom shelf and I could see that they were priced at just 50p each.  I know that they would achieve at least £1 each if they were in a visible spot because that's what the other charity shop sold them for.  I was a little disappointed to say the least.  The lady then suggested what type of cards I could supply!  She obviously fancied stocking up herself 👀 I did explain that it wouldn't be worth my while donating the materials if they sold the cards for so little because it's hard enough to make them for 50p each.  She said she understood so I'll give them one more batch and check (unobtrusively) what they do with them.  If they are not valued then I'll try a different CS.  There are 6 to choose from!

Right...I'm off to watch a bit of TV.  It's the 1% Club tonight and I did rather well last week, although I got the very last question wrong 😟 We play at the same time as our Daughter over WhatsApp and it's good fun. 

 Does anyone else watch it?

Thanks for popping in, and stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

Angie 💗
