Giving up with business cards

Daddy Day Care · 23-05-2009, 02:43 PM

Many of you may have read my first post on business cards a couple of weeks ago, where I got my business cards through which I thoguht were great untill I noticed instead of childrens handprints it was dog paw prints.

Well I orderd some more, and after making a mistake firstime surely im gongi to double check everything, i wouldnt make another muck up would I?

Well yup I did

I cant believe it im so angry with myself for being such an idiot.

This time the picture was correct, the colour was as I wanted it, and there was no spelling mistakes, well kinda it was all good untill the last line, my post code, I went and put my mums in instead of mine

If I cant do a simple thing like order some business cards what am I going to be like with all the paperwork

Someone please punch me in the face

ha aha only joking.

how about doing your own?
Imade mine...pretty easy really....andcheaper

Well from a safeguarding point of view, I did not put anything to do with my address on my cards.

So it might be a handy 'diversion' as long as your mum doesn't live half the country away ???

And anyhow, most people are going to be using the cards for your phone number

I ordered from Vistaprint and they are great ( correct picture, wording , numbers)................now it looks like we will be moving and having a different phone number

I use Vistaprint for mine too, only paying for the p&p.

Dont think I saw your earlier post

but give them a try

Geez Aly when I said I wanted a punch was meaning more of a slap, that hurt.

Wish it was bad luck emler I could take that but its not its just pure stupidity on my part, I was at my mums on her comp when i orderd them but thats no exscuse.

Yeah Peppa lets hope it is 3rd time lucky, if I suddenly dissapear for a couple of days you know ive messed up again and jumped in the local river (I cant swim).

I wasnt going to put my address on the cards zoomie, I just thought they looked so empty and wasnt sure what else to put on them, and your right I expect people to contact me over phone not post, but I nkow its wrong so will bug me to much to give out. My mums post code is similar to mine only last 2 letters differ.

Anyway I'm sure some of you amazing ladies can coem up with a good craft idea for me to do using 500+ business cards

well i hope so anyway lol

Might have to the same with mine

Use them as toy money. Just the right size.

oh Gareth, I'm so sorry but I just had to laugh

Good luck with the next lot!

**wendywu** · 23-05-2009, 06:29 PM

Well Garath just give people one of each card and between the two they have the correct picture and the correct post code

TheBTeam · 23-05-2009, 06:31 PM

whoops, but as they say practice makes perfect and third time lucky and all that!

Perhaps you could get your wife or someone just to glance over them to double check, two heads are better than one etc!!

Sorry for all the cliches, but it is betting than putting that i laughed (oh i did!)
