My Overstock purchase did not work out. About 24 hours after placing the order, I got an email back saying that the order had been cancelled as they had been unable to confirm some of the details that I have provided. I have had the cards for years and never had any problems with this. The same applies to the billing address. I wanted to get the bag sent to work, so I wonder if this was the problem. I decided to give up and headed for Ebay where I found the same bag (just in red rather than blue, but who cares) for the same price. Now I am just waiting for this to arrive. One the Overstock invoice there was an amount for VAT and Customs, but that was so low that I would imagine that there would be some to pay when it gets to the UK.
I know what you mean about allergies. I am allergic to bananas. In my late teens, I developed problems breathing, which was diagnosed as anything from asthma to anxiety/ depression. I was treated for asthma and that did not do anything. They were going to put me on anti-depressants, which I refused as I knew that there was nothing wrong with me apart from that I could not breath. I have a number of allergies and when I still lived in Germany, I was seeing a specialist quite regularly. It just so happened that he was trying to pin point a new allergy that I had acquired and he used banana as an exclusion sample. It was virtually unheard off at the time that people are allergic to bananas. Needless to say, the only substance that I reacted to was the exclusion sample and that was a prize reaction. I used to live on bananas and once I cut them out, my breathing problems were gone. Cutting them out completely though seems to have made me more allergic. Now if I touch anything that contains banana and then touch my lips, it sets me off.
That definitely looks familiar.
Mine was a fraction of the price though.
As for the wedding dress, at the moment I can't make up my mind between those two styles, but I suppose I will have nearly another year before I need to make up my mind.
For both I am leaning towards ivory rather than white.
Good luck. I am not brave enough. I got as far as booking the consultation and when they mentioned that they would have to put drops in my eyes for the examination, I chickened out. I cannot bear anybody touching my eyes.
I like this. Are there any themes/ characters that you collect in particular? I have to check my traders.
