Scrambled

My brain, that is ...

I've been busily putting together kits for the pre-crop challenge for the UKS Cybercrop. I've been hopping from one foot to the other for the last few weeks, desperately waiting for the delish new papers I wanted to use to arrive in the UK. I could've ordered them directly from the manufacturer, but as I knew that the UK wholesaler for the papers already had them on order, it was decided that they'd definitely get theirs before I'd get mine if I ordered them directly.

So ... the papers finally arrived with the wholesaler on Thursday, and they despatched to me on Friday. I picked them up from the courier depot on Saturday morning, cos I was desperate to get started on packing the kits up. In a way I'm glad I went to pick it up, cos a very cute guy working there told me it was a pleasure to get my parcel as I was looking so lovely ... ahhhh - and I REALLY needed that compliment at that precise moment.

Anyway, you can imagine that I was mightily peed off to discover that one of the papers I was sent is wrong ... I wouldn't mind if it was from the same paper range, but it's not, so the colours are all wrong and my blood pressure shot up another few notches. However, I can't complain about the customer service I get from the wholesaler - they always bend over backwards to help, and I have been promised that the correct paper will be with me tomorrow. I have hence booked tomorrow afternoon off from work so that I can spend the afternoon frantically shoving kits into envelopes in a bid to get them all off to the Post Office in time for them to get in the post tomorrow night. I will in some ways be glad to see the back of this kit, but in other way I have really really enjoyed it - I just have to hope now that the punters out there like what I've put together for them. I think I need to store the remaining papers in my Navigator for safekeeping though, ho hum ...

Yesterday saw huge amounts of frantic activity kitwise. I spent the whole day working on it, packaging bits up etc. I didn't get to bed until 3.00 am, and I have spent the whole day with scrambled brains. I am so tired and I am longing for my bed ... but I've still got to process 40 kit orders and get as much prepped tonight as I can so that tomorrow will just be a case of doing the last little bits.

And of course procrastinating over here isn't gonna get it done any quicker ...
