When there is little time for shopping around, Birmingham has it all in one place ;-) We got everything on our lists apart from the card. I persuaded Mr C that MoonPig was the place to find the right card. He reluctantly indulged me and within three minutes the perfect card was found. Within 10 minutes it was customised to perfection for the recipient. http://www.moonpig.com/uk/ I use my photos to make my own cards and when I am not printing them at home I upload photos to Moonpig and create my own design there. There is a lot of talk about grumpy this evening, you must have been reading 'NO' posts ;-) Sometimes it is necessary to ‘nip’ into Birmingham.

I only ask because nothing, no nothing would induce me (or even drag me screaming) to return to the sad old city I knew so well from the 40's to the 60's. I don't even 'let on' to people, to where I come from - but if really pressed, I say "I come from Bournville, where Cadbury's Chocolate was made." (Note WAS made there - now American owned.) Birmingham does not seem to be the place to search for a 'quality' Birthday card, if I might say so, and I am not at all surprised to hear that you failed. If I begin to struggle to find the right card, I usually end up in the National Trust shop at Cliveden. You are very talented to make your own - perhaps you could let us one day catch a glimpse of your handiwork? :) Take care - Grumpy old B. :-O Do people really just ‘nip’ into Birmingham?
