All I wanted was a gift box and all I asked was "do you know the dimensions of this one, or do you have a rule I could borrow?"
"NO WE DON'T. NEXT..."
After a short walk to the £1 shop to purchase a tape measure, I returned to find the box I was looking at was 1/2 inch to small, so I had to go for this bigger, pinker one.
I can sympathize. I have many days like that. But you came away with a lovely box to put your gift in and are now armed with the tools to measure anything you should want to. Just for fun go to the veg aisle in the supermarket and start measuring things bet you get some fabulous shots of the looks you would get lol
