Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all.

Review of 2008 and a vague plan of 2009 coming in next few days

Didn't last year go quickly?
Hopefully the breaks will be applied to this new one and it will pass at a more sedate pace!

Good Cheer to you all and here's hoping the credit crunch doesn't bite too hard

At the end of each year newspapers usually do a review of all who passed away in the year. To all you consumers out there here's mine to the shopping street!

We sadly say goodbye to...
MFI - my daughter's bedroom would be empty if it wasn't for you
Morgan - never could fit in their clothes, so good ridance!
Adams kids clothes - ooops never shopped there - I was a Mothercare/Ladybird/GAP Mother and ...
Woolworths - now this shop I will miss, but I am abit annoyed as the chocolate fountain I bought for the New Year's Eve party I attended last night was abit of a damp squib as the fountain motor didn't work and we ended up having a chocolate fountain fondu!!!! As the shop in my village has now shut I shall be persuing this with the manufacturers...

Who knows which shops in our hermogenised shopping centres will be next - DH hopes it's not NEXT as he is rather particial to their clothes - one of the only shops he will happily go in without protest when out shopping with me!

So have a great year crafting, best wishes

Happy New Year, Alison.
It seems so sad to hear of those shops closing - hope things get better soon.
