OK I promise this is all true and not exaggerated.
I posted on a local meet up thread earlier today saying I was going to a big local shopping centre with DS (Metro Centre) tomorrow to buy one specific thing, and when we were done I wanted something fun to do with him there, asked for suggestions.
Later on today I noticed the Dolmio event sticky, on at that shopping centre, happening tomorrow only - perfect!
Then a bit earlier tonight I started a thread asking where I could get my Dad a spoof personalised photo card. I have looked in moonpig and funkypigeon and neither have quite what I want. 20 minutes later a "Hallmark: create your own personalised cards" flashed up in front of me. Perfect timing!
Unfortunately it's not a completely happy ending as I don't think they quite have what I want either. But still - bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
