I hate doing this, but I am desperate for sales, as currently a few hundred pounds short of being able to cover my bills this month.
Please, if you’ve ever thought about buying from me, now would be a great time. Even if all you can do is retweet this, I’d be so grateful (1/2)

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that a Finnish version of “they're a few sandwiches short of a picnic” is hänellä ei ole kaikki muumit laaksossa. It means “they don't have all the Moomins in the valley”

Look out for all the examples we'll be sharing this month!
