Tim was at home with the offspring today while I went in to work for my christmas meal. It was the least festive festive occasion I’ve ever attended - right down to the bosses finishing their meal, and without so much as a by your leave, leaving. Very odd. Not even a speech to thank the waiting staff - think every corporate meal I’ve been to previously took a collection for a tip and then made a speech.
So that was odd. Spent the day staring at code and slowly coming to the conclusion that I was doing something wrong, or more accurately, that the spec I was working from was requiring me to exceed standard operating parameters 
Home to stare at this pc, and wonder how to use my skills in different ways. Or expand my skills? Right now, I think I need to be heading to bed, but couldn’t quit without the latest instalment of linktag (you’re it Jen!) Notice that quite a few of you have explored my link to Jen’s lactivist store on cafepress, but doesn’t look like anyone has indulged yet. Shame.
Considering whether I could raise some cash through cafepress myself, but can’t help feeling that the shipping from US to UK might be offputting for some of my more regular readership, and anyway, can’t really think of any slogans. And I don’t do art. Speaking of art though, was anyone else watching that toys program earlier? Didn’t know you could do that with an Etch a Sketch. Amazing.
Big has written and posted a number of our cards today, I apologise to anyone not in this tranche, as it seems likely your card will be late. The pile is there though, and I’m sure she’ll keep going tomorrow. Way to go with that writing practise

Cafépress are launching UK site, at http://www.cafepress.co.uk/. It’s just a holding site, at the mo, and all the links point back to the US version, but I’m wildly optimisitic for a no-import-tax, billing in sterling parallel site, before long…
I do printed middles. If we make the cards, we don’t write :))
I did go and look at the Lactivist T shirts but there were no baby ones I fancied for L. The slogans were either a bit crude for my taste or unclear what they’re refering to. The Eat At Moms is OK, but the T shirt itself is a bit plain and I’m only looking for long sleeve ones at the mo. Have to say I prefer the lactivist.co.uk T shirts for the slogans and coloured T shirts in different styles. I didn’t get as far as seeing how much the shipping from cafepress would be, but I’ve bought similar things shipping from the USA before.
Christmas meal sounds horrible, the sooner you get out of there the better. I like the Lactivist stuff but I can’t stand the idea of people looking at me long enough to read the slogans although I did have an anti Nestle one for a while.
Welcome Ruth (sorry you spent a little while in moderation there :oops:)
Cafepress uk would be fabulous - think I’ll drop them a line and ask what their timescale is! I’ve got loads of ideas for a shop, but am rather put off by the idea that my possible market would be put off by the shipping costs.
Am almost afraid to ask - but what didn’t you know you could do with an Etch-a-Sketch?
