Haylor Gift Tabloids

There are several stories about gifts I will combine here:

HARRY'S ONE G OF PRESENTS - EXCLUSIVE £1,000 on Taylor's birthday (handbag, earrings, cupcakes & perfume)

23 Cupcakes for her birthday (the Mirror)

Harry gave Taylor a vintage bracelet for christmas (The Sun)

Harry sent Taylor a singing Telegram to perform WMYB in country style (The Sun - x)

Taylor buying Beatles Memorabilia (Daily Star)

Taylor had booked a Italy getaway for Harry's Birthday (The Sun)

1989 roses (I’ll post that video soon because Harry was asked)

I can't find the guitar though and wonder if it was from the image used in that Dolly layout above... unless maybe to be so expensive signed merch is a guitar. I also can't find an article about the opal ring

1 - HARRY'S ONE G OF PRESENTS - EXCLUSIVE £1,000 on Taylor's birthday

December 15, 2012 | Sun, The/Sun on Sunday, The (London, England) CAROLINE McGUIRE | Page: 3 | Section: News

LOVESTRUCK Harry Styles has splashed out more than £1,000 on birthday presents for new girlfriend Taylor Swift. The One Direction star celebrated the country singer turning 23 by buying her a £400 Jimmy Choo handbag, antique earrings, her favourite perfume — and 23 cup cakes. The cakes cost £38 and he picked them up in person from a husband-and-wife firm in Warrington, Cheshire. The treats included cookies & cream, candy floss and mint liqueur flavours. The 18-year-old also handed Taylor a black and white picture of them together in a vintage frame. A source said: "Harry put a lot of thought into her gifts and really wanted to show her just how special she is to him. "The boys teased him about how mushy he's become but he doesn't seem to care."

2 - 23 Cupcakes

Harry’s so sweet

Daily Mirror 15 Dec 2012

SOMEONE needs to offer Harry Styles a job on the UK tourist board as he continues wooing Taylor Swift with his “Best of British” theme.

The loved-up star, 18, celebrated girlfriend Taylor’s 23rd birthday on Thursday by giving her 23 cupcakes. PUKE. (not literally, we hope).

Hazza made the last-minute order to the Custom Cupcake Company in his home town of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, on Wednesday night.

But it sounds like he got his mum to organise it all.

Bakery owner Matt Blakey revealed: “A lady called us asking if we could supply some cupcakes.

“I told her we were bursting at the seams.

“She said it was for Harry Styles and I said, “Oh, OK, cool. Send him along’.

“Later I got a phone call from my wife that Harry Styles was standing on the doorstep.

“I didn’t think he would come to pick them up!”

On Taylor’s special day the couple were also spotted out enjoying a romantic country walk and getting intimate during a pub lunch.

Enough now. Enough.

3 - Taylor's Stylish bracelet: VINTAGE GIFT FROM SAILOR HARRY

Smart, Gordon.  The Sun; London (UK). 04 Jan 2013: 18.

HARRY STYLES is showering TAYLOR SWIFT with gifts at the right time - just as ONE DIRECTION unveil camp snaps of him in a sailor outfit.

He's handed his missus a vintage emerald bracelet to celebrate them seeing in 2013 together in The Big Apple.

Which slightly makes up for the South Pacific look he's sporting here.

The singer found the gift for Taylor at a second-hand jewellery shop near his home in Cheshire while shopping over Christmas.

At least the trip out got him out of playing those endless games of Monopoly over the festive period.

A source said: "Harry handpicked the present for Taylor while he was back home.

"He found it in a secondhand shop and she was impressed when he handed it to her.

Dodgy "He gave it to her at the plush hotel they stayed in while they were celebrating New Year in New York.

"Harry is head over heels for Taylor and even admitted he loves her while they were in the Big Apple."

Now he just needs to keep her away from YouTube over the next week.

The band have filmed a clip for new single Kiss You dressed up in the sailor clobber.

A trailer for the video was released yesterday.

One shot also shows Harry wearing a very dodgy Hawaiian shirt.

The full promo will be be out on Monday next week.

Harry's bandmate LOUIS TOMLINSON won't need to worry about any embarrassment with his better half.

He liked to stick on a blue and white striped top and boaters every day anyway ...

4 - HARRY Styles yesterday hired a cheesy singing telegram to serenade Taylor Swift — as he spent Christmas 3,500 miles away from her.

The Sun - 26 December 2012 x

The teenage One Direction star got the crooner to belt out his band’s hit What Makes You Beautiful.

He also ordered it sung in country and western style — the kind of music his American girlfriend performs.

Harry, 18, fixed up the soppy surprise in the US before he jetted back to his family in the UK on Christmas Eve.

A source said: “Even though they were apart on Christmas Day, he wanted to make sure she’d be thinking of him. The singagram was an ideal present.

“She has a great sense of humour. He knew she’d think it was hilarious.”

The lovestruck boyband singer DID get to see 23-year-old Taylor yesterday — via a Skype videocall as each opened Christmas presents in the afternoon.

The source said: “Harry and Taylor can’t get enough of each other. Any moment they can spend together, they do. But Harry is also very close to his family. He wanted to be back home with them for Christmas.”

Harry first started dating Taylor two months ago.

The pair have been snapped together in Manchester, New York, Los Angeles and the swanky US ski resort of Aspen.

5- The Daily Star: Taylor's Fab Four-tune! Picture: EROTEME

December 18, 2012 | Daily Star (England) with ED DYSON and ELLE GRIFFITHS

HARRY Styles - we've a message from Taylor Swift: She Loves You yeah, yeah, yeah...

Well, she must do, since the country queen is splashing the cash Crimbo prezzies.

We hear Taylor, 23, is on the hunt for some mega-expensive Beatles merchandise to treat hunky Hazza whom she has been dating since last month.

Our spies told us: "Harry spent GBP900 on Taylor for her recent birthday, and now she wants to repay the favour - and then some.

"She's been phoning Beatles stores in Liverpool hoping to find pieces of rare autographed memorabilia she knows Harry will love.

"A staff member at one store let slip she wanted to spend somewhere between GBP40,000 and GBP50,000."

Wow. The Fab Four may have said Can't Buy Me Love, but if you could, that sum would probably cover it. And it's no wonder the boyband heart-throb is such a fan, as the 1D craze sweeping the world drew comparisons to the Fab Four.

Harry, 18, even admitted he could see the similarities himself.

Icons He said: "We watched that film of The Beatles when they touched down in America and saw a likeness with our personalities. They loved having a laugh like us."

Luckily Mr Styles's ego isn't as big as his barnet.

He explained: "The comparisons seem ridiculous to us, because they were such icons."

Well, you might never have the influence of the Beatles, Harry, but you can at least get your mitts on plenty of their stuff.

6 - It's all gondola wrong, Harry - SPLIT AXES TAYLOR'S VENICE BIRTHDAY GIFT

January 15, 2013 | Sun, The/Sun on Sunday, The (London, England) GORDON SMART | Page: 18,19 | Section: Business

ONE of TAYLOR SWIFT's pals could be in for a free holiday in Venice. The US singer had plans for a romantic city break with ex HARRY STYLES as a treat for his 19th birthday next month. She was planning to surprise the ONE DIRECTION star with five nights at the posh Palazzina Grassi on the Grand Canal. Harry only found out about it last week - and is now feeling even worse about the whole relationship going pear-shaped. He has since organised a trip to Las Vegas with JUSTIN BIEBER - which could suggest that gondola action might not have floated his boat anyway. A source said: "Taylor organised an allexpenses-paid trip before the split. "She even arranged a private gondola for them for the entire time they would be there." Drinking limoncello in a posh hotel in Italy on your birthday would be nice. But Harry's only just become too old for Disneyland. Speaking of youthful antics, above are a few smaps from his schooldays. The lack of tattoos is the only giveaway that the pictures weren't taken yesterday. One picture that was taken recently is this shot of Taylor at the Golden Globes looking stunning in a purple fishtail gown. There was a lot being said about how busty she was looking compared to normal. Hollywood, eh? She and Harry, whose 65-day romance ended after New Year, exchanged expensive gifts at Christmas, but now they're redundant too. The source added: "Taylor isn't using the designer bag he bought her any more. She'd also sorted some exclusive birthday presents for him - new threads from Savile Row and BEATLES memorabilia. "Harry is pretty gutted about the whole thing, even though he's putting on a cool front. He's touched she went to so much trouble to arrange his birthday ahead of time." It's not total doom and gloom, though - 1D ticket sales have soared by 50 per cent since the split. Websites handling the band's 2013 tour, including Seatwave, say they noticed the sharp increase immediately after the romance ended. So Harry will rake in as much from the break-up as Taylor will from her upcoming song about the broken relationship. They need it as well.

Letters

“You really have moved on, haven’t you?” His former landlady grins at him.

“Mrs Hudson—”

“Oh, I almost forgot. You’ve got some mail. I know, I might have sent it on to you, but I kept expecting you’d come by.” She holds out a small stack of mail. “Nothing very important looking. No bills.”

“It’s fine. You’re right. I should have called or stopped by after…” Flipping through the envelopes, he sees that it’s mostly junk, but there are three addressed in a familiar hand, narrow and angular, not particularly legible. “It’s fine.”

He says his goodbyes to Mrs Hudson, promises to come by again soon. 

Heading home on the bus, he studies the three envelopes. Each is addressed to Dr John H Watson, 221B Baker Street, London, NW1 6XE, UK. The first was postmarked somewhere in Nepal, April of 2012. The second bears a New Delhi postmark and is dated a year after the first, April of 2013. The final one is recent, just weeks earlier, mailed from Istanbul. He doesn’t open them. 

Closing his eyes, he tries not to think. 

I can tell you what you can do. You can stop being dead.

Mary’s not home when he arrives at their flat, and for some reason he’s relieved to be alone. He pours himself a drink, sits down, and looks at the first envelope. 

The envelope is just a normal envelope, somewhat squarer than a business letter. What’s inside feels like card stock. The other two envelopes are identical. 

When he’s satisfied that the outside has no more clues, he uses a knife to slit the top flap and slides the contents out. 

Happy Birthday. A bunch of multicoloured balloons. Inside: I’m sending this card / As I wanted to say / I hope you have / A truly amazing day.

Written below, by the same hand that addressed the envelope: I heard you.

He thinks about that birthday, over two years ago. He remembers coming home, finding Sherlock on the sofa, contemplating some problem. 

Before he can dwell on that memory, he opens the second. Another birthday card, this one with birds and flowers, the kind of card you’d buy for an acquaintance, not a relative or friend. Everything your heart desires / Is what I wish for you / Not only on your birthday / But throughout the whole year too!

Another handwritten message: I’m sorry I can’t be with you today. 

The final envelope was sent in early September. What’s inside is another card, a generic lighthouse scene, the moon over a calm sea. There is no verse, just a handwritten message: I’ll see you soon.

Taking a deep breath, he rubs the tears from his eyes. 

The note he leaves for Mary is a bit terse, maybe even cryptic. They were supposed to have dinner tonight, and he’d made reservations. He might cancel, but she was looking forward to it, so he just tells her to invite a friend. He passes the jewellery store, doesn’t stop inside to pick up the ring. 

Instead, he heads back to Baker Street. Hearing sounds in the flat above, he moves quietly up the stairs.

He’s standing at the window, looking out. From behind, he looks much the same. Thinner, perhaps. He might sense a presence behind him, and turns his head. When he sees who it is, he turns all the way towards the door, smiling. The dead-white tinge of his skin tells John that he hasn’t been leading a healthy life. And somehow, he found the time to mail John three birthday cards. 

Sherlock is silent, his eyes wide. John can’t think of a single thing to say. 

“I didn’t know,” John finally says, stepping towards him. “You must have had your reasons, but I wish…”

The grey eyes overflow. “John.” His voice is rough with emotion. “I’m so sorry.”

There must be no more distance between them, no more silence. Putting his arms around the thin ghost of his friend, he says, “Welcome back.”

Do you have any crafty/artistic hcs about Miss Ireland? I loved your thoughts on the metalwork

Ahhh, thank you for sending me questions, I really appreciate it!!

4 main things stick out to me, one would be her abilities to work with metals. As I’ve said before, something about goldsmith Ireland just speaks to me. I think her favourite things to make by far are broaches or pins, because there’s so many shapes and pictures to make. However, I feel like, in modern day she usually makes necklaces most often, or rings or even bracelets from time to time. Most of the jewellery she owns was made by herself. She works in her basement on smaller things, but she’s very interested in getting a separate place to make things. & she is a gold girlie over a silver girlie.

I also see Ireland as a good songwriter, however, I think she’s much better at writing fictional, made up stories over writing more autobiographical stuff. If she were writing off her own experience, she would probably never get the song done. The words just wouldn’t come out. I don’t think Ireland lets herself process her feelings and her hurt especially. She tries to make jokes out of it, tries to push it down or act as though she doesn’t care, which only makes her hurt worse. So, I suppose, it’s only natural that she doesn’t let herself write songs like that, even if it would probably be very beneficial for her mental health 😅😅

I never thought I’d say any one of the UK & Ireland would be good at physical art. But here we are! I actually feel like Ireland is pretty skilled with a pencil and a brush. She enjoys drawing animals or landscape pictures, however, she doesn’t take this hobby super seriously. She’s not the type of girl to paint on a canvas, or have her own art studio, or even have super top quality supplies. She’s the type of girl to draw in her sketch pad, sat on the sofa, with probably cheap pencils. She maybe has 3 different types of pencils for different size strokes, that’s it. She doesn’t paint often, if she does she uses water colour, and again, pretty cheap. Her art is still impressive though! She’s no Italy or China, by any stretch of the imagination, but she is talented. She has a framed picture of a wolf on her living room wall. She drew it herself. One of the few pieces she shows off in any sense of the word.

And lastly, I wanna go back to something artsy that she’s not so good at: make-up! She doesn’t wear a lot of it in day-to-day life, so she’s not too skilled. She struggles to match tones, and her blending skills aren’t the best. Her foundation is a tad too dark, her eye-shadow is too pigmented of a brown, so the underneath of her eyes can look a bit orange. Her application of previously mentioned foundation can be blotchy, or she cakes too much on to avoid that blotchy look. I want to emphasise, I do not think Saoirse is a chav, she’s not walking around with aggressive fake tan and obviously drawn on eyebrows and very, very badly blended contour. Still, make-up is not her strong suit.

I realise for people who have not been following me for so long they forgot a time I wasn't haunting their dash "my dad is getting weird shit off the Chinese" probably sounds bizzar.

Part of living with my dad is witnessing him go through phases, and some time ten years ago he got really in to Lazer cutters. While looking on eBay for things he got in touch with a company based in China that sells Everything. Just EVERYTHING.

They had something like 7 Lazer cutters just hanging around in a warehouse. When you order things from china it is exported and ends up in the UK it can not be shipped back to china, but by UK law they must accept returns of everything they sell online. So what do you do with all that stuff? Mostly it goes to landfill, but it needs to go somewhere first. You can't just ship it to the dump, and if they let you keep everything and gave you your money back it would be a bad business model.

So these Lazer cutters are sitting in a warehouse after being returned, usually for being broken but we'll get to that in a bit. Dad says, well you can send them to me, I'll look at them, see if I can fix them, and if I can I will. I'll sell them, and then I keep some money, you get some money.

Better than shipping things directly to the dump, so they say sure. He gets these Lazer cutters and for about a year our spare bedroom is full of Lazer cutters. And he does as he said, he checks them out, enjoys fixing them, or if they can be fixed he camabalises them to fix others. One I remember had a broken glass tube so the cooling didn't work, but it still had plenty of bits. He took it apart and sold the bits. He kept some money, and he sends the money on.

They get talking about other things in the warehouse and dad reaches this agreement with them where if they let him know they can send him electronics and he'll have a go at fixing them, and he'll sell them and split the cash.

Except it doesn't quite go like that. As mentioned they are Chinese and English is not their first language, so we start getting some Really Weird Shit. Memorable things include: a preserved rose, jewellery, a hammock with built in mosquito net, cheep lights (including one that has a hovering globe), and on one occasion a huge box of reusable physio bandages. Oh! There was the hoverboards. That was fun and also deadly.

Then one day they send us two pallets of projectors. I mean some poor sod in a lorry had to reverse down my very residential street to deliver two pallets to "the warehouse at [number][road]" which we are not. At which point dad gets in touch with them and says no, you can't just send me everything you don't want to sell yourself, or things that aren't electronic.

We have these projector's for years. We try selling the every which way. eBay, Facebook, giving them people. We saturated the local market with these projectors at a time when projectors themselves are very much going out of style as huge LCD TV's are getting cheep. We still have one or two somewhere in the house.

Things slow down for ages and we don't get many things for a while. We start getting letters though. Due to a change in UK tax law this company, which is more like a lot of companies in a trench coat, need a UK address to send mail to and dad does that. The letters come in and he sends them pictures of it so they can know what is said.

Then suddenly a few months ago they woke up from a hiatus that has been going on since the pandemic and started sending us things again. At first this is fine, electronics, things dad can fix. We've had half moon lights, phone screens, hair dryers, etc. Then the weird stuff starts creeping in again: the huge mechanical clock, the mirror made to look like a window. There's the very cute little kettle the other day. They sent dad a thermos for Christmas which was very nice, like an actual gift, not a return.

And today the rubber mouth with tongue that I do not want to Know.

I said above that most things are returned because they are broken, which is why they get sent here. Broken, dad fixes, then sold on. But actually most stuff that arrives comes in either perfectly functional order or cannibalised.

The working order stuff I figure people ordered cheep shit and wondered why they got cheep shit. Some doesn't fit UK regulation (the plugs on some of these devices! My god!)

But the cannibalised stuff is very interesting. Before we left the EU we'd get packages from all over Europe and Germany was the worst for this. People buy a device, take it apart, take out the part they need, then return it to the company saying the device doesn't work and they want their money back. Which they get, and we get the device. 👀 Sir. We see you sir. You cheepskate. Fixing things doesn't count when you're sending an identical one to landfill for the part.

And that's what I mean when the Chinese are sending us weird shit.

Can you share your Etsy shop/show us some of the jewellery you make? 🫶

hiya omg I'm so sorry for the extremely late response!!! I don't like sharing it publicly on here and I only do UK shipping but if you want the link I can send it :)

Birthday, singer and actress Lorraine McIntosh born 13th May 1964 in Glasgow.

Lorraine was brought up in Cumnock, Ayrshire from about the age of three. She has been a member of one of Scotland’s favourite bands Deacon Blue since they formed in Glasgow in 1985.

Lorraine didn’t have an easy upbringing, she lost her mother and she said her Dad coped for a while then fell apart, hitting the bottle he started missing rent payments which led to them being evicted, she said the council waited until she had turned 18, a week after that the were out. In an interview for The Big Issue Lorraine poured her heart out saying………..

“I got a phone call from a social worker saying I wasn’t to go home, as dad had been evicted. I was at the bus stop with my friend, but couldn’t get on the bus. She phoned her mum and I ended up staying with them at first. No clothes, no nothing. We lost everything. It just got put in the street. And the saddest thing was I lost all my mum’s things, her clothes, wee bits of jewellery, all put on the street. Gone.”

I empathise with this entirely except I actually got home from school and found all our belongings on the street after we got evicted, I was 13 at the time………..

Lorraine was a regular on the Scottish soap, River City, she has also appeared in three episodes of Taggart playing different roles, more recently she turned up on Outlander last year as Mrs. Sylvie, the owner of a popular brothel in the town of Cross Creek. Also last year Deacon Blue’s 10th album, City Of Love, shot to No 4 in the UK album rankings the week before lockdown, giving the Glasgow outfit their biggest chart success since 1994.

During the pandemic, as well as coping with the strain of lockdown, Lorraine, who lives with Ricky in Glasgow, was taken ill with coronavirus in the early stages of the outbreak.

She said: “It has taken quite a while to get over it completely. I was in bed for three weeks, and then recovered.”

In 2020 Lorraine joined up with the Simon Community’s Nightstop campaign, to encourage people to open their homes to vulnerable young people. The Nightstop service offers young people aged 16 to 25 a safe place to stay when they find themselves in a crisis. All the volunteer hosts are fully vetted and trained. Since starting in Glasgow last year, eight families have provided 96 nights of emergency accommodation. She and her husband, Deacon Blue frontman Ricky Ross, are considering signing up as hosts – but only if the Simon Community think that their high profile won’t get in the way.

I really like Lorraine, and Ricky’s humanity, specifically Lorraine visited Rwanda two years ago to raise awareness of sexual violence against women when she was moved to tears by the testimony of victims. She has recently spoken out against the plan to send refugees coming to the UK to the country and said the country was still recovering from a genocide inflicted during the civil war in 1994 and for ministers to consider sending asylum seekers there is deplorable.

On her trip, she heard of shocking conditions, including child slavery, youngsters being burned to death, and rape being used as a weapon of war to destroy communities.

On her final day in Rwanda, she made a pilgrimage to one of the most infamous genocide sites in the country called Nyamata where thousands were slaughtered in and around a church.

She said: “I was unprepared for the sight of thousands of items of clothing from the fallen folded and piled up on the church pews. The ceiling pockmarked with bullets and a line around the bottom of the wall which our guide tells us is the blood line from the carnage. A river of blood. In the gardens outside 50,000 people lie buried.

Hubbie Ricky made a simple tweet yesterday, the post read "33 years today ❤️" with the photo

Lorraine is set to appear in the new season of Shetland.

The song is my favourite where she sings a strong vocal.

Just need to vent a little here. So I’m in this UK handmade selling group on facebook. I’ve always lurked but never posted until recently. I mean I wasn’t really making anything new or selling my old stuff I’d made for my Etsy the whole reason I stopped selling on Etsy was because it got to much for me as I had a lot of irl shit to deal with. So I post my earrings in the group now this group has the same loose definitions of handmade as Etsy does. By this I mean they don’t expect you to be an artisan who makes their own charms for their jewellery. They literally have people selling craft kits - i.e they are buying in paints and brushes and small pottery bits to then combine into a kids craft kit and selling it in this ‘handmade’ group. Which tbh even I think that’s a little bit pushing the boundaries on ‘handmade’ but most of these people also have Etsy’s and that is within Etsy guidelines. So they accept my bubble tea necklaces and then last night I decide to make a post for the earrings. The same ones I’ve promoted on here the fruity ones, the panda butts and the octopus ones. It gets removed/declined for breaking one of the rules. So I’m like okay let’s see it says ‘not handmade’. So I reach out to an Admin who says she’s going to look into it in the meantime I re submit it to the group so she can find it again and look over it and I assumed accept it. She just gets back to me now and says this

Now I want to clarify again just today they have accepted not one not two but multiple posts from other sellers selling earrings with a charm on. One of them even has the EXACT same charm I have on a pair of earrings I’ve got sat right now in my jewellery container. So this isn’t a case of we don’t think they meet the true requirements of ‘handmade’ this is them saying they think I bought these earrings as is that I didn’t attach the charms myself. Bear in mind before they sent this message I offered to send them proof. I said I could show them receipts of where I bought the charms from. I even said I could show photos of the charms because I have charms sat in my jewellery containers on their lonesome and the earring hooks and the findings and all my jewellery making tools. Fuck I even offered to make a video so fuck it I did make a video which is really bad for me because I’ve been SO bad right now with aches in my wrist and hands. So now I’m thinking oh god next thing I’m gonna get back is some criticism of you don’t look like you know what you’re doing so we don’t believe you. I did put in the post I sent them as proof with the video that I AM disabled and right now my hands are not doing great and I was struggling with grip and got the shakes a little when holding the pliers to open the split ring. There’s a reason I’ve not made jewellery since lockdown (except this Monday I had a good day Monday and made some earrings HOWEVER I bought earring hooks that didn’t require me to use split rings. I’ll have to take a picture but the hooks are basically designed in a way that you can just drop the charms and beads onto it. It’ll make sense when I take the pics and post them. But I just had to vent about this because like what am I meant to do in the future when posting to this group? I post something handmade and if they don’t believe me they’re just gonna go nah sorry fuck off and like then what am I meant to do you know? It’s just so fucking dumb like what is it about these earrings specifically that made you think they weren’t handmade compared to the other ones listed on their group from other sellers. Fuck why did they accept my bubble tea necklaces and not these earrings. Like it feels so arbitrary and it’s like well fuck me I guess then. I mean fuck I’m offering you proof and you just ignore it and reply nah soz we don’t believe you. Without even accepting my offer to show you the receipts like nah fucking old white women Karens of FB tho fr. Like and she over there with her cricut selling vinyl personalised mugs and she’s judging my handmade crafts lmfao (also I don’t actually hate on the cricut I have the curio which is a similar model made from the same company like vinyl be all right but like everyone be doing it and technically she could just be buying in from china and Ali express and no one would know so it’s like half the shit on that group you could look at it and think hmm because if its simple enough then yeah it can likely be mass produced and made in china like it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to buy some charms and put them on jewellery like I am aware that I’m not doing anything particularly special here but cut me some slack it takes me twice as long to make this shit because my hands no work and I can’t make consistently because my hands NO WORK so it’s about all I can manage right now)

Cold-calling companies offering ‘computer repairs’ shut down after preying on vulnerable pensioners

Two UK based companies which defrauded vulnerable pensioners by falsely claiming their computer had a security issue have been shut down.  DT Care Ltd and Amolin Solution Limited were wound-up at the High Court in Manchester on Friday 30 August.  Both companies conned their elderly victims by phoning out of the blue to tell them their computer needed urgent repairs.  The victims, aged in their 70s and 80s, believed they were taking genuine calls from well-known IT companies and allowed them remote access to their computer.  They were then convinced into paying hundreds of pounds for services that were not provided.  David Usher, Chief Investigator at the Insolvency Service, said:  DT Care and Amolin Solution were both used as a vehicle to defraud pensioners by tricking them into believing their computer was hacked or needed vital security repairs. Their tactics were thoroughly dishonest and designed to be aggressive and intimidating.  We take our responsibilities in protecting the public from financial harm very seriously which is why we applied for provisional liquidators to be appointed earlier this summer, to prevent the two companies from further objectionable trading until our winding-up petitions were heard.  The two winding-up orders secured should send a strong signal to the business community that we will use all the powers at our disposal to shut you down if you prey on some of the most vulnerable people in society.  Insolvency Service investigators spoke to a number of pensioners who were scammed by DT Care and Amolin Solution. All the victims repeated the same cold-calling tactics used by both companies to gain remote access to the computer.  In many cases, the callers said they were from Microsoft Windows and claimed their computer needed urgent repairs. Others told the Insolvency Service that the callers had said their computer was hacked, their identity had been stolen or that they could fix their locked machine.  The callers told the victims they could remove the security issue or resolve their problem if they granted them remote access to their computer.  From there, they charged in excess of £400 for the “service” they provided and often attempted to take further payments from the victim weeks or even months later.  Investigators also found evidence that the companies would send unwanted parcels to the customers to suggest they had provided some form of service. In one example, DT Care sent two paperback novels, a mousepad and a wind chime, none of which were ordered by the victim.  Despite posing as IT support companies, DT Care and Amolin Solution both described themselves as e-commerce companies selling clothes, books and “junk jewellery” when they applied to open bank accounts.  The Insolvency Service spoke to directors of both companies who are aged 91 and 88 respectively. Investigators concluded that neither actually ran DT Care or Amolin Solution, with the companies thought to have been instead controlled from India.  Both registered directors were unable to produce accounting records for DT Care and Amolin Solution, meaning the Insolvency Service could not establish precisely who controlled the companies and what they claimed to legitimately trade as.  The Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator of DT Care and Amolin Solution, having previously been appointed as provisional liquidator in early July to stop the companies from further trading and to protect the public.  Since then, the Official Receiver has worked to protect and preserve assets in the possession or under the control of companies pending the outcome of the winding-up petitions.    Read the full article

Im in the uk, it is pretty much small businesses (if they can afford to still be open) and supermarkets, we just started getting costco but its rare you see one, we have wayfair and unless its a specific niche comic book, harry potter shop or somewhere for preteens to get their first goth jewellery or somewhere that sells cheap wigs and tutus for hen parties, it doesnt exist

Your options are stand, eat

and if youre lucky, look at things

We have places that try to be like michaels and spencers gifts but theyre like a small part in the corner where they sell 3 white lady mugs with an outline of an autumn leaf on it, grey fake plastic plants, tacky fake plastic gems, grey beige champagne pink and wicker everything

We dont really celebrate halloween here, its a thing but you cant find good decorations or fun home decor, sweets or items like americans can, especially these days.

youre lucky if you see pumpkins or stickers in the window and its a miracle if you find halloween sprinkles or a mask that doesnt fall apart when you touch it on the shelf, if they even have costumes in the shops

When they do itll be in the back and itll be a row of three things or on a hook next to the cashiers desk

Omg bestie the 3 white lady mugs is sending me 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 The US really is the McMansion of the world lmaooooo

Do you like Westfield? The one in the city is kinda meh now but the one in the South Bay is really nice. They have a whole side for high end stores (cries in broke) and there’s so many snack places 😋 a danger to the pockets of boba lovers!

We have have a store called party city and all they sell mainly is party stuff, even stuff you didn’t think you’d need for a party. They have Halloween costumes, I remember going to one about 10 years ago and the entire back wall of the store was pics of costumes you’d ask the employee to bring out the back for you.

The spirit store is better (not all the time), they have more the lawn decorations and animatronics.

Do you like costco? It can be overwhelming for me sometimes if I don’t know what I need.

Thank you so much for sharing!🩷
