Last year I had a couple of florist 'friends' offer to help out - oh dear despite being given easy h/t's their work wasn't really up to scratch, I was too busy to take much notice at the time, conseqently I ended up staying until the wee small hours to re-do them, which really knocked us back time-wise. So I suppose the morale of the story is sometimes it's just easier to do it yourself in the first place. Too many florists spoil the handtied ............! Anyway hopefully we will all keep each other going via floristnews and have a very sucessful m/d.
