New Shipment of Fabric - well almost

So I ordered a new huge shipment of colored French Terry that I make these out of.

They are by becoming the most popular diaper and so it was time to reorder fabric. I called the company last friday and was told that they didn't take paypal :( (I've got funds in paypal I was trying to use and didn't want to have to wait for it to transfer to my bank account) - so I told them that I would have to wait until the funds transfered to be able to pay for my order - they said (SHOCK) No problem give me the order I'll get it together and then on Tuesday call in your payment - doing the happy dance! So all goes well paypal transfer my $ (after taking almost an additional 3% - robbers - thieves -grrrrrrr) and I call in the payment on Tuesday. Well then they tell me that they've already shipped it :) SHOCK :) without even being paid yet! So then yesterday I get a call saying it's in Toronto and can be cleared through customs - who are these people and what super powers do they have this is awesome! -

Thursday ...... I unload all of the car sets (except for Alex's) and we head into Toronto to clear customs and pick up the fabric. Everything runs smoothly until I call the warehouse and inform them that they should have their customs clearing docs at the fax machine - which they did - now all I need is the address to the warehouse so I can pick up the fabric - well here is the problem I have to take the skid and all of the fabric without removing anything from the skid - hun?? Ok so I get her to explain why (customs regulation for this particular warehouse) so to make a long story short I can't get the fabric until tomorrow (it was always going to be delivered tomorrow I'm just impatient and wanted it today).

So yeahhhhhhhh a huge shipment of fabric in less than a week :)

Now to get back to the cutting of the PUL - it's all laid out on the table I've just got to find time without the kids - oh and we've actually got SNOW! Not a lot and not even enough to cover the grass but it's actually stuck around for more than 24 hours!
