hi to all. again this post comes with some appologies, i realise some of your patience may be wearing thin in this department, but all i can do is appologise once again. we've had a lot to deal with in the last few months, for the most part personal, but the biggest of which is my dad. we're all praying for possitive test results to come back, which if they dont. the news will be devestating. i am in the process of getting back to vicki, and saskia, and the rest of the design team. I've had major problems with our hosting company too which i am hoping has now all be ironed out. I promise to make it up to each and everyone of those that this down time has effected, and get the winners announced for the last couple of competitions. Freebies will filter back through the site too soon, with some exciting new additions to the shop in due corse. Thank you once again for your continued support of tinker and co. I will keep you updated as to the progress of my dad. Kind regards jo tinker and co
