    Weird phone call.
    Lady ordered a book on dragon patterns. When she collected it I joked with her that the wholesaler had supplied 2 in error. She rang to see what I was doing with the 2nd copy. I said I was hpefully sending it back (not a great demand) or selling it. She said that I mustn't sell it as she was using the designs for stuff she sells and that she doesn't want the patterns easily available. Told me that if I sell or display it she will not use my shop again!

    To be honest this whole meet is too physially active for me. My exercise for the day is putting the kettle on :)

    hmmm..........I've just found the job I applied for and had an interview a month or so ago (where I didn't like the environment and it may hae had some Cruella contact). It's with an agency and the teccy part (where I wasn't up to what they wanted) has been really softened and the creative and comms part is more prominent.

    I'm tempted to chuck my CV in to the agency just for the hell of it. I'm 99.9% sure it is the same job but odd it isn't on their own jobs website.

    I could turn up to the interview and say 'so, this feedback when I last didn't get the job you promised me, what was it again because there is nothing here I can't do' :D And then turn it down :D
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    That's a bit cheeky bookie. I'd have told her to buy the second copy then. Cheeky cow telling you what you can and can't sell.

    Cheeky mare!

    And does the copyright of the book allow her to use the designs in this way?

    Do it, it'd be funny if they interviewed you again :)
