parcel day interlude

I think Mr Postie must have known I was studying at home today as I received 3 parcels. All of which I would have had to collect from the post office in the early morn the following day had it been a normal working day today.

In no particular order I received my Snorgtees T shirt that I won in the cool Fuel My Blog competition in October. It is just like the one in their advert if you click on the link above. It is brilliant albeit a bit on the dress size but I will wear it and FMB have asked for a photograph of everyone who has won one....... now that will be interesting...... mmm should I wear it as a dress or be a bit more modest lol ???

Another parcel was from my longest best friend 'J' whose name has cropped up in my diaries a lot. We have been best friends for 30 odd years. She sent me a beautiful poetry book for my birthday. No she hadn't forgotten, she is just like me, buys ahead then the darned thing sits there until we have time to queue up in the post office. Thank you 'J' it is just exquisite.

And last but by no means least a parcel from Australia. Nurse Myra you have the most excellent taste. A beautiful compact mirror and body butter that will make me smell like an angel and have the softest skin of cherub :-)
Accompanied I might add by a rather hysterically funny card hee hee


So a week has passed since my birthday and I am still celebrating.
Oh and if that wasn't enough to make me smile today FMB has invited me to become a writer on their most excellent site. They must be totally insane (in the nicest possible way). I am so thrilled ........... Thank you everyone :-)
