Right folks I am back! After a long illness, which I am going to have to learn to live with! but hey! So far this year I have lost someone every month, it feels never-ending, from Fletch who was a volunteer at the dog park on February, Jill another volunteer, who died the following month. My cat died. My dog Ishii, who was most precious to me as I bottle fed her from birth went over the Rainbow Bridge as the latest, add to that my never-ending fight with depression. But LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!! The most wonderful group of people my Witch friends have come and today I now feel confident I can fight this illness, and be back up and running! So here we are.
Rosettes are being made, and sent. Problems in that dept with them getting there have added to the stress as people ask me where they are! I saw on the news today I am not the only one with parcel problems, and read this article
Delivery company 'league table' reveals worst-performing firms
More than a third of online shoppers experienced a delivery issue with a parcel they received in the past month, according to new research.
Citizens Advice said its fourth annual "league table" shows a "worrying trend of worsening customer service" from major UK parcel companies.
While Royal Mail and Amazon achieved a joint-top score of three out of five stars, both saw their customer service scores slide compared to last year while DPD's remained the same, the service said.
Yodel and Evri came joint bottom with scores of just two out of five.
The league table looks at the top five delivery companies by parcel volume and measures their performance against criteria including customer service, delivery problems and how well they meet accessibility needs.
Citizens Advice said it found that 14.8 million people - 36% of all online shoppers in the UK - experienced a delivery issue with a parcel they received in the past month, with problems including items being left in insecure locations or arriving late.
The organisation said "the parcels market isn't working for consumers" and has called on regulator Ofcom to investigate carriers with poor complaints processes and track their progress in meeting customer needs.

So please be patient as orders are out there, its simply Royal mail that are taking their sweet time in delivering them. Sorry for long update!
Meanwhile, all you rosette makers, keep an eye out. I have a new toy, and when you see it, you're going to want it, too! The NEW ZX40 Ribbon Printer! It's amazing! I have been playing with it for a few months now and have come to terms with it, so I am going to showcase it over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out!
