UPDATE: Launching my new range of greetings cards… See my cards on Ebay now!

Since Since the launch of my successful Christmas cards in 2007 I am pleased to say that I am now about to launch my new 2010 series of greetings cards.  Each card is A5 size and is left blank for your own greeting. Please take a look and my “new collection” , and tell me what you think or even better, place an order!

The larger (C5) cards are £2.50 each and the smaller ones a very fair £1.50 – does this seem reasonable?  I don’t mind the truth!!

So, to help you choose from the latest images please browse either of the links below.  One of the links has a musical accompaniment and the other is simple a slideshow, go on have a look at both!

Terms Business are as follows:-

Please allow up to 28 Days for delivery as cards will be custom made and this takes time.

Postage – Will be on request and dependent upon number of cards ordered and of course where I have to post them to.

Payment should be via Paypal please or by arrangement direct with me if you

Please actually know me!

Chuggers!

Today I spent half an hour watching the antics of your so called charity collectors in Portsmouth (Commercial Road) and have to be the first to admit that I am not one who supports this form of charity collection as I prefer to give directly if at all. On top of that I have read reports (in the Times for example) that claim that as little of 10% of what these people collect actually reaches the charity for which they are collecting.

My complaints are pretty much this;
  • I have no desire to be accosted in any shape or form by someone brandishing a clip board and T shirt in an over familiar way.
  • I DO NOT under any circumstances wish to shake hands with a stranger who has already shaken hands with at leat a 1000 other strangers he or she has encountered in the street. Now I know this may seem rude but given the current issues of health regarding Swine flu, MSRA or C-Dif that can be passed so easily from person to person, this handshaking practice is foolhardy to say the least.
  • These collectors are commissioned based as far as I am aware and this I feel is wrong!


Sorry about that... rant over!
