Lots of the clothes are cheap material and too big. I donated them to charity shops. Some other bits were crap, so I will give it a miss for a while and then see.

I bought two tops when I first started shopping with them, they were massive.
I stick to crafting items now.

Yes craft items are ok to buy. Definitely not clothes.

Yep, you don't always get a bargain if you buy cheap.
I have noticed more than ever now, the high streets and shopping centres are filled with cheap tacky clothes shops, clothes that look like they would fall apart at the first wash, they make Primark look almost classy.

Mostly made in China!

Bloody hell.
Champagne flutes haven't arrived...emailed seller, they have been 'lost in transit', so am back to square one, waiting for a new order.
This happened with this company a couple of years ago, they sent out another item, then a week after that arrived, the original one turned up.
They did let me keep both though, so hopefully the same thing will happen again with this order.

You can buy really qood quality moissanite from them. It's the real deal too, as I've had it tested. Costs around £80 for a 10 carat necklace that would cost you over a grand here.
In case you don't know, it's a lab grown diamond alternative that's almost as hard as diamond but with four times the brilliance and sparkle. Unlike Cubic Zirconia it never goes dull. Many people are now choosing to buy it over diamonds due to the low carbon footprint. I've a diamond engagement ring but a moissanite eternity ring, and the latter twinkles like a star and outshines the diamond for clarity. I love it.

The shopping channel Ideal World was very big on selling moissanite a few years ago.
The prices were ridiculous, around £1000 for 1 carat, 2000 for 2 c, I think the largest solitaire was 3c...for £3000.
I never bought one thank God, they sell for a fraction of that price now.

Glasses arrived, two are shattered. Been in touch with seller, they are sending replacements, hopefully intact this time.
Honestly, I wish I had gone to Boundary Mill...they have loads of glasses, more expensive, but they don't come in a million pieces.

Oh that's rotten. Bet they were at the bottom of other parcels, which is why they took so long.
