What's on the cards today

Morning folks and what's on the cards today....paperwork and not of the crafting variety either...computer stuff....all those "I'll do tomorrow" jobs that never get done and now I am snowed under...so it's needs must...... first job of the day....been online and booked my rail tickets for my trip to the SECC in October now the cost isn't really important from my point of view as Fiskars will be picking up the tab....but I can't fathom out how it works at all.......for a return ticket from Aberdeen to Glasgow.....£47.50 but if you choose 2 single tickets....£10 each...total cost for the journey £20...shouldn't it be the other way round...cheaper if you buy a return....so take note Fiskars....have just saved you the princely sum of £27.50. Their method of calculating fares may be a bit tipsy turvy...but can't fault FirstScotRail's ticket delivery system....the tickets will no doubt...arrive here bright and early tomorrow morning......one job done and dusted.
Next...find some info on using the Sizzix Texturz plates with the Cuttlebug....have just taken delivery of some gorgeous new Christmas ones.....would they work with my Cuttlebug....oh yes....found a great tutorial on YouTube and they are fabulous....will be using them very soon no doubt on ....yes....you've guessed it....more Christmas cards....and what we would all do without our computers.....how did we ever manage to get through life before the Internet.
I think all this technology is rather wonderful.....e-mail to start off with...how you can communicate with friends and family across the globe with a few keystrokes......send pictures in a nano second....and with Skype...actually talk to your loved ones......go online and order lots of crafty goodies 24 hours a day....then track the parcel to find out when it will be arriving.......bank online......check your M&S statement.....which I don't do very often....it's not too good for the old blood pressure.....even pay it online with a debit card......buy foodie stuff and get it delivered straight to your house so really folks we have no need at all to ever leave our homes....and last but not least blogging......to which I am totally addicted....I have made so many wonderful friends....OK lots of them I will never ever meet.....but what a wonderful way for us all to share our passion for this wonderful hobby....yes for an oldie....I am a big fan of all this technology.....anything that makes life easier is definitely a good thing......BUT there is one branch of technology I have never really taken to.....my mobile phone.....sits in my handbag from one month to the other....isn't switched on unless I need to make a call and £10 credit lasts me more than a year.....and texting....well that's just a total enigma to me.....have tried it...but it took me so long to do the simplest of messages.... I gave up when even I didn't understand what the message said....that's something I may have to work on...but for someone who is really bad at even checking for messages on my landline phone.....can't see it happening any time soon.
Tune in this morning to Create & Craft....Sky 671 or Freeview 36 at 9.00am to watch Nikky demonstrating the yummy Jingle Jangles CD and also her brand new sets of co-ordinating stamps. Well I am off to get the kettle on and have another wake me up cuppa before our morning stroll but will be back later with some exciting news....and a card.......oh dear there is never a dull moment in the cubbyhole.
