I can't imagine anyone thinks it's exciting LOL! People are furious and are all saying they won't buy from C&C again.

Best to stick to PayPal, at least that doesn't cost anything extra. Not that I have bought anything from C&C for ages, but this isn't going to make me want to chance my arm. Sheesh, it would be cheaper to use my credit card.

I would paraphrase that as:

So, are you a bit skint due to the cost of living crisis and can't afford to pay for everything at once?

Exciting news! We're going to make you even more skint by adding a fee on to the cost of your purchase if you need to pay in instalments.

Yesterday HobbyMaker were emphasizing their split pay had no extra charges.

QVC don't charge either. I bought a new Shark wand vacuum cleaner from them today on three payments and was surprised free p&p too.

Lunchtime C&C had a Brother sewing machine on and on Craft Extra a Brother Scan & Cut. I wonder how many sales they made.

Well I didn't buy one. Not that I actually want one for that matter. All my cash seems to be going on anything to do with a needle, with the occasional crochet hook chucked in for good measure. :)

I'm really annoyed at them for charging extra for flexipay. I've been out if action for nearly two years and just getting back into crafting. On tuning in I was very disappointed with the content, there seems to be lots of repeats. Any way rant over, I've been looking on TEMU and there's loads of craft stuff on there dies, die cutting machines and loads more the prices are brilliant and free P&P

Quick delivery too, even though everything has to come from overseas. Having said that, I have had two delivery times for today, now been moved to tomorrow. :( Can't blame it on Temu though, it is Evri who do the deliveries. Bit cross as one of the items I wanted to wear tomorrow, well one of three actually. It would have given me great pleasure to spend a few minutes making up my mind. :)

Anywhoo, I have sent in another order for something none craft related, then I had a quick ratch and bought some wax beads, a cross stitch bookmark kit, and some stencils. Along with other none crafty goods I bought some tassels and earrings in the order that should have arrived today.
