Hi all, we value your business & custom more than you’ll ever realise, it’s with deep sadness ( and that’s what I feel ) to say we have had not one but 2 fraudulent transactions come up within the last week.. Both transactions were more than £100. One of the orders was over £200, delivered to a local , same street as me, which makes no sense…So do not worry I’ll be knocking on their door to get to the bottoms of this..

Both were made in November, both through our card machine Dojo. Both needed strict card payment authorization. Which both cleared. To get an email 2 months later with a charge back beggers belief !!

Dojo says it’s the banks !!

I say it’s your card processing system , i pay good money for each month!! To lose £350 plus !!! Administration charges is just not acceptable..

So until I can get this resolved we WILL NOT BE accepting any card transactions

Cash or bank transfer only.

Don’t worry we do have a solution should you find this difficult.

Just speak to a member of my staff and we’ll take you through the. Process

Keep safe everyone and thank you for your custom

I WILL NOT BE BEATEN !!!!

I hope you all can understand my dilemma

Yours gracefully

Ginny

Thank you so much to all our wonderful customers. Without you the magic wouldn’t happen.

In lateNovember we were asked to go to full Interflora member for most of Bolton & Bury. We didn’t know what to expect.

I asked head office for figures from last year of deliveries over the last 4 buying days of Christmas.

This would mean pre ordering, flowers & sundries, planning staff, work space, drivers, in addition to our normal busy Christmas.

I found a work space, lifted and set up the trollies, spare tables, buckets, flowers, sundries. What a job.

The worst thing is knowing you don’t get reimbursed straight away, I’ll cope I kept saying.

Driving to the wholesalers at 5am to sure make we have enough Holly wreaths for everyone. Coping with the most appealing weather. This is the first year we didn’t have thr gazeebo up! Not eating and drinking properly. I’ve worked out I’ve worked 15 hours a day, 7 days a week for 3 weeks flat.

In Addition to this I planned, set up and delivered not one but 2 events on the same day, we had a stall at Kearsley Cricket club and held classes in the shop.

The only way I could pull. This off is with good people around me.

Thank you to the best Manager Helen Middleton. You’ll see Helen most days. In the shop, keeping it running whilst I’m working off site. She’s my sounding block, she has my back and I value her integrity so much.

I’d like to say thank you to our Donna Fance fabulous creative. Senior Florist, who can literally make up with her eyes shut! Donna has been through the wars this year and still shows up smiling.

Thank you Brenda for stepping in and helping throughout our busy period, working away bringing some beautiful floral gifts to life. Despite recently losing her lovely husband Pat

Thank you to Cath, who’s supported my small business from day one ! She flies in, steps up and turns the shop into an amazing space to purchase your flowers and gifts. This year again helping with the events and really gets stuck in to get the job done. Thank you so much

Jayne thank you for stepping in and helping with what ever I ask you. You’re a good friend

Linda you’re just amazing thank you for all you hard work and support. Such a good friend

Gaenor thank you for being my support only ever a text away.

Thanks to Kez and family for the use of the space, can’t thank you enough actually.

Thank you to all the drivers Sam, Alan, Josh, Tony and Katie. Over the month of December between you you’ve delivered over 240 Bouquets, gifts, tributes.

Thank you so much..

MerryChristmas to all those that celebrate it.
