Well... here we are at the end of November... My last entry to my blog was February ... how ridiculous is that?  I actually think that February was perhaps the last quiet moment I had .. since then it has been a complete whirlwind of events ...The facebook page has taken off to extreme levels and I've made some amazing customers that I would like to call friends ... We have a chat in the day time and a laugh in the evening and it certainly keeps me going during busy and stressful times.

Since September I have been working really hard ..... June was crazy for "Apple for the Teacher" keyrings and October went bonkers over Poppy pins .... after selling so many poppies ....  I was really proud to donate £100 towards the Peterborough British Legion Poppy Appeal... It was lovely to visit them at the Paston and Gunthorpe Community Center and see all the hard work that went on for such a lovely cause... Next year we will start early and I intend to up the donation to 10% for each poppy sold.... 

After the poppy appeal came the Christmas rush or should I say "The Slinky Rush" .... after the Slinky Santa and Slinky Snowman ... a group of Slinky Characters popped up ... I've not had a count up yet but I will.... and oh BOY will there be a lot!!!!  The Rudolf is my fave ... but by far the Slinky Santa is the most popular....  How are we going to top that next year?

A big welcome last month to Rhian ... my Glam Glassistant that comes and helps on Saturdays and one evening during the week....  On her first week I was so nervous about her cutting herself on glass and had a HUGE PILE of plasters on hand ... I was later to discover that she was in fact allergic to plasters and did finally cut herself on ... wait for it ... the tape gun!!!! ........Although I do not understand her taste in music (who are these bands... am I old?), she has settled in really well and no trips to casualty have been needed (YET!).

So in a nutshell.... a fantastic year for us ... I can only thank my lovely customers from the website and my facebook page for being such stars.... for the chatting, for the banter, for the orders and for most of all ... for putting up with my lack of admin skills due to lack of time spent on the computer and too much time making lovely glass.... As we grow, I hope this will change but for now ... I thank you for your shouts, nudges and pokes....

Next year ... I want to be bigger and better but still be approachable, affordable and always here for a natter and a pinot at the end of a hard night .... big hugs from me..... xxxxx

    I lost $87,000 in a SIM swap attack. One moment my phone had service, the next it was dead. Within minutes, I was locked out of my email, my exchange accounts, and my entire crypto portfolio was emptied. The attacker had convinced my carrier to transfer my number, bypassed my two-factor authentication, and moved fast. I felt sick. Years of investing, gone in under an hour. That’s when I found TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.

    At first, I was hesitant—there are too many fake recovery “experts” out there. But Trojanhack was different. They were professional, clear, and moved fast. Within 48 hours, they had traced the stolen funds through multiple wallets, identified a key mistake the hacker made, and located the final destination—a KYC-verified account on a lesser-known exchange.

    They worked directly with the exchange and law enforcement to freeze the account. In just under two weeks, every cent $87,000—was recovered. I don’t usually write testimonials, but Trojanhack earned this. They didn’t over promise. They delivered. If you’ve lost crypto to a hack or scam, don’t waste time rather get in touch with Trojanhack.

    I got my money back because I called the right people and they can be contacted through their official E-mail address which is ( Trojanhack@qualityservice.com ) Give them a trial as they never disappoint.

    “In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet. What once felt impossible became a reality thanks to their support. If you have lost Bitcoin through scams, hacking, failed withdrawals, or similar challenges, don’t lose hope. I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover Service to anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution for recovering any wallet assets.

    Amazing fix at Metronet Credit Solution. Few weeks ago precisely 17th day of Sept, I came across good reviews commending the good work done by this hacker to fix credit score, because of how desperate I needed my credit fixed, I contacted them via email: metronetcreditsolution@gmail.com for help, after about 20mins of email, I got a feedback to discuss my bad credit score, they promised to help raise my credit score to excellent score that will help me access loan from creditors, everything sounds all good. They gave me option to make half payment before proceeding or pay after fix, because I was skeptical, I decided to pay after fix, and agreed to recommend their service to family and friends if this is true. Wow, on Friday last week, I was asked to check and confirm my new credit score which I did and got amazing excellent credit score with all negative items cleared. First time I saw credit company added good trade lines on my reports which has helped me get my loan approved this afternoon. Thanks to Metronet and your team for this satisfactory job done.
