My favourite boots in black. I ordered them - with help and hindrance from a credit card. Post 574.

I managed to order the black boots, just like my wine colour pair, from Wish. I love the fancy flower petal design on the toe. It compensates from and distracts from the rounded toe. A rounded toe is more comfortable. The bootees are flat, but non-slip.

Credit Card Problems.

A couple of days ago I tried to order from Wish but the system would not take the credit card and I gave up. When I went back and tried again, a couple of days later, the second time I tried filling in the card, I noticed something odd.

 Update - I was using the old credit card. The system doesn't tell you what you have done wrong. I had to change the end date and the password. 

The new card has an unfamiliar layout. The helpline comes first. So you are tempted to instinctively type that in as the first number required. The number they need is at the bottom of the card.

My typing of the credit card details had another hiccup, a small delay. My keyboard could not find the forward slash for the date. 

Luckily, my husband showed me a trick. You go into Word. Hunt for the symbols. Spin up to the first set, which is the standard keyboard. 

Select the forwards slash towards the top of the on-screen keyboard. (The keyboard layout opposite of my laptop keyboard which has the forward slash lower down, the back slash above it).

Copy the forward slash.  Paste the forward slash into the date.

The last delay was inserting the three digit number. Turn the card over and it isn't there. Now it is on the same side as the other numbers. More convenient. Unless you are self-programmed to turn the card over!

See post 567.

I paid a total of  23.56 pounds and pence, which was 18.56 - plus 10.00 shipping! But less a promo code (promotional code)of five pounds for my first order through WISH.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. that would m

What to wear for a funeral? A black funeral coat from Marks & Spencers Outfit 291

Angela Lansbury, wearing black for the funeral and funeral tea for Stephen Kennard. Photo by Angela Lansbury. This week I went to a funeral. I wore black.  Everybody else wore all black. The invitation said nothing about the dress code.  I know lots of funerals nowadays people were mixed colours. Some specify wearing jolly colours. My friend at the funeral told me, "Always wer black. Unles it specifies otherwise, the rule is, wear black." I had my usual blue anorak with the hood with me. I left it in the car. In the boot of the car, in case anybody broke into the car hoping to find money in the pockets or because they wanted a coat to wear or sell. The safest thing is to leave a completely empty car. At least everything in the boot so the car looks empty. I could have kept the blue anorak in my black tote bag. As soon as we drove into the chapel driveway, I looked at the other guests and their clothes. I saw all black. Off came my blue anorak. Thank goodness I had a black coa
