No, not a pun this time. 

Okay, actually it is a pun.  I have updated the shop on this site so that you can now purchase Things directly from here using PayPal (rather than purchasing via Folksy).  This means, in particular, that you have no need to register to purchase a Thing - you can just simply shop and then checkout via PayPal and there'll be no questions asked. 

I've not fallen out with Folksy or anything.  We're still speaking.  We're trying to work things out.

As a result of these shop changes, you have one less excuse for not buying a Thing. According to my calculations this means that the average person is down to only 71 reasons for not purchasing a Thing.  If you're this person, I warn you that I'm working on bringing those reasons down bit by bit until only poverty, a severe dislike of Things, or some kind of mental disturbance are the only possible explanations for not purchasing.

Have a wonderful festive season one and all - and be safe out there.
