I'm having a brief break from doing greetings and things for the seasonal and annual contact, and I am blogging about it. I always say the greetings etc must reduce in quantity and number, but they don't seem to. I think hubby's side is expanding and on purpose. That being so, I shall save a few greetings things for him to write.
Some of my friends have moved abroad and I have been racking my brains as to what I could do. My usual gift resources only send UK wide. I used to use them because delivery and insurance was at a cost I could not usually trump.
While browsing the internet for a smelly product that most of the shops, this year, don't, for some inexplicable reason, seem to stock for Christmas time, I accidentally came upon a flower delivery service that provided the same delivery service Europe wide. Okay, that meant I could wrap, up so-to-speak, the Europe-wide gifts via the flower people and while I was at it, how about sending a floral gift to a UK friend as well; after all, the UK is in Europe. 
Tally to date, one unobtainable smelly gift now obtained (well, ordered and assumed to be winging its way to me) and lovely flowers sent, here there and everywhere.
All that remains, is for the light bulbs I want, to be traced and ordered. I can't get those, unless I pay an absolute fortune to one local shop to order some in.
