My Scor-Pal is finally here. I'm fuming though as I had to pay £11.52 customs charges and it was only 40p over the £18 limit, and £8 of that was for the Royal Mail handling fee. I've got to laugh as it was in customs on the 29th of March and that's it just arrived.So much for Royal Mail. It got to the UK faster from the USA than it did from England to Scotland. The girl at the sorting office said customs are clamping down more on charges.They only used to check a small percentage of parcels but are doing much more now,as she's seeing more charges being incurred.
Anyway,that's my moan over......lol. Just got to have a play with it and cheer myself up.
Well I finally got my lovely Flora doodles from Joanna Sheen after taking Royal Mail from Tuesday to deliver them. They were worth the wait though as they are so scrummy and you can never have too many blooms.
I also got a notification that my Scor-Pal was at the depot awaiting collection and had a customs charge to pay. This was delivered at 12.20pm and the depot shut at 12.30pm. Typical! So now I need to wait till Monday to have a play.
Hopefully my Bellas should be here from Canada next week as they've been dispatched too. Don't you just love new stash?
This is a card I made for a lovely lady called Hazel from the DoCrafts forum who went through a big operation on Monday.I hope she likes it.
