The best laid plans....

.......may work IF YOU READ THE SMALL PRINT!!!!
They don't do cards in Italy - well they do but people don't generally send them so as a result the ones you can find in the shops are either really really tacky or ok but over priced. For years I have made do but last spring I decided to become super organised and order a load of cards to see me through the year from cardsdirect - they have lovely cards which are really good value and by buying them all in one go I felt pretty chuffed with myself - until yesterday that is - it is my niece's birthday in September so off I went to my stack of cards to get the 'Happy Birthday you are 4' card - and then I remembered ....she is gong to be 3 - than I looked at the others that are still there wating to be used, "Happy Birthday now you are 14" - ready for Leo on October 27th - and "Happy Birthday now you are 17" -ready for Thomas on October 7th - the card for Thomas is blue but no, I didn't read the small print......"You're seventeen! Have a shiny happy birthday, Glitz and Glamour all the way, cos you're super special birthday girl and today's your special day"! AAAAghhhhhhh

  1. Damn the small print. And they probably put it in 2 point type so it was very, very noticable. :-)
