I didn't open any of our advent calendars either!
I didn't register that it was the 1st yesterday so it was also advent opening day π
109 people out there opened an advent calendar I made π«£
Hope they liked them!
This coupon is Etsy funded, so now's a great time to support small businesses and get yourself a little bonus too! π

Why? Mr K has too much proper work to go into the loft to get the stuff and through a series of events in trying to "independent woman" the situation I've found out I'm too fat to fit through the hatch π€¦ββοΈ
Finally done for today, pretty happy with the results π

In a queue of 6 people yesterday I was the only one who said please and thank you to the cashier
Thankfully Etsy has a block button!
Lots of orders overnight?
Nope, 2 message chains from nice customers, 3 orders, and 12 separate messages from someone who either didn't understand or didn't care it was the middle of the night here in the UK, on a weekend, and called me lots of names for not replying
Happy #smallbusinesssaturday to all my fellow creators out there π

We had sales trickling in all day today today which was nice, until 2 hours ago someone left a one star review because the laser cut wood smelled like burned wood and now we've had no sales since then. On black Friday.
Cheers pal thanks for that.
I don't think words can describe how angry I am when I've waited in all day, have a doorbell camera, actual CCTV cameras and dogs that bark at the door and they drop this on the tracking
Didn't even have the courtesy to drive down our road let alone actually attempt delivery
You may be aware of a "plus one of x" range of stuff we do for funny DnD themed gifts
Just seen one of our competitors now offering "plus three of" items
Like dude seriously?
You couldn't have an original idea so you thought you'd go 2 better?
Well looks like all the money I've earned on advent calendars is going to have go on hiring a car for x weeks
Been chasing up for weeks now to confirm the date on our new car and just been told it's going to be end of January, not December as we ordered
Current car has to go back on the 12th Dec

Ah that's not good, hope the flare ups end soon!
I will forever be thankful for the YouTuber who recommended Alka Seltzer for migraines, definitely helped me save the ibuprofen for joint aches and pains!
For the last 6 years I've worked 7 days a week, often 9am-11pm, from the 14th October til the 21st December
This is the first year I've gone through a full bottle of ibuprofen before December π

I'll have to keep an eye out for store bought cheese here that uses rice flour!
I have an intolerance to potato starch, which means I'm a human detector for if somewhere uses fresh cheese or not on their pizzas (potato starch is used to preserve grated cheese to make it last longer)
Current evidence suggests Morrisons pizza counter does not.
I dropped a box on her, she reacted with distain

Why won't I print a copyrighted logo on a mat

Why hasn't their order from 4pm yesterday been sent
