MARVELLOUS MONDAY

 Good Monday morning to you all.

I trust you all had a fabulous weekend?

Did you manage to catch Lisa's show on Craft Extra yesterday from Sandown?  It was a lovely couple of hours just watching Lisa demo her fabulous brand new Floral Vine set.  Did you buy it?  Do you think you will buy it if you haven't already?  It really is the cutest set. Just saying! 

Well, I was having a lovely day on Saturday, finished all my housework on Friday, finished all the washing too.  Planned to iron it on Sunday morning (which I did).  So I was just finishing off in the craft room when I needed to check something on my bank account.

Imagine my horror when I log on to find a transaction on there that I didn't recognise!!  Not a silly small amount either - £97!!!  To Ocado of all places.  I wouldn't mind but I don't even shop at Ocado.

So rang the bank for the lady to tell me it was the other cardholder's purchase - obviously my husband!  Now I know I go on about him, and his memory isn't the best but I do think that even he would have remembered setting up an account with Ocado, doing an online shop, having it delivered, putting it all away and all this without me noticing!!! Come on!!

Anyway, they put me through to the fraud department and thankfully they have refunded the amount - however he did tell me that if more information comes to light (not sure what that would be to be honest) then they might have to take if off again!!!  I don't think so!  You just try it mate - I'm ready for ya!! Lol.

So, moral of the story, check your bank transactions very carefully.  Hubby doesn't even use his debit card very much at all so it is a complete mystery as to how anyone gained access to it! Scary.

So, this is the last instalment of our Meet the Team feature and today it is little old me! Lol

How many jobs did you have before you found your Dream job?

I don't think I ever found a Dream job - but my last job before retiring was working in Research & Development in the NHS.  I was responsible for making sure all our Clinical Trials were being run in accordance with all the Regulations and for training medical staff around those regulations.  I did love that job but retirement sounded like a much better plan.  Besides, I wouldn't be able to do what I do for Lisa if I worked so it was a win win for me!

Chinese or Indian

Chinese if and when I go out.

Fish and Chips or Pizza

Fish and chips - a very rare treat these days.

Surf or turf

Both really.  I love a good steak but then again I love fish so I'm happy either way.

Dogs or cats

Again, both.  We have always had cats and currently Salty holds my heart in his paws.  We have also had German Shepherds but they are a bit too much for both of us these days, lol.  Cats will suffice from now on.

Sport or not

Love sport.  Don't do sport - no siree!! Love F1 and Moto GP, Golf, Ashes Cricket, Football and Rugby and Tennis.  Only watch the big tournaments though. Lol.

Music whilst crafting or not

Very very rarely.  Might have the computer on in the background if Lisa is on TV but otherwise, I usually craft in the peace and quiet.

Favourite film genre

I don't really have a favourite.  If I like it I like it.  I am a huge Tom Hanks fan so will watch literally anything with him in it but I will watch most things, even horror.  Mind you I have to watch horror films during the day! Lol

Favourite music genre

Again, don't really have a favourite.  I was a huge Elvis fan - cried myself to sleep the day he died! But I like quite a mix, but like Miriam - I do love a bit of Robbie.

What is your MOST favourite LHC product

When I put this question in, everyone without exception said "Just one?" Lol.  It is difficult to choose just one product but those of you who know me won't be surprised to hear me say that the fabulous Textures Stamp set is one of my most favourite products Lisa has ever brought out.

What is your dream for the future.

Peace! Everywhere!  

I want my grandchildren to be able to grow up and enjoy life not worry about whether they feel safe to go out and explore the world.  You are a long time dead so why would anyone want to bring that forward if it can be avoided?

So there you go.

You now know a little bit more about everyone on our team.

I hope you enjoyed reading everyone's answers.

Finally, to our words of wisdom.

See you Wednesday
