In the post today ...

Two sick little girls and one sleep deprived mother is not a recipe for a pleasant day however, what we found in the post box this morning has certainly bought a smile to my face.

The bottom two are for free coffee - which is always a delight in this house! One was from our local independent cinema, which is an awesome facility with big plush seats where you can take food and drink in. I haven't been yet but I got a voucher for it for Valentine's Day! I popped in the other day for a coffee whilst I was in town with Cassia and saw a customer survey form and thought I may aswell fill it in and be in with the chance to win a month's worth of movies. I didn't, but I got a lovely letter from the owner thanking me for filling out the form and enclosing a coffee voucher. My kind of lady and my kind of business! The other was just a flyer but it offers you a buy one get one free deal - and it's from a place we frequent regularly so yet again, awesome! Now the top letter is a first for us - a hand signed letter from a Member of Parliament. What a surprise it was to get a letter from Nathan Guy welcoming us to the district and hoping that he can be of service. Now we have moved around a lot and so have had our details changed on the Electoral Register many, many times both in the UK and over here and not once have we ever received a letter like this!

These lovely hand knitted socks were sent to me by my Mum for my birthday. Thanks Mum I just love them!

Receiving these today reminded me that I didn't show these lovely socks which I received just before Christmas back in the days when I was broadband-less! Way back here I bought some wool and sent it of to the lovely lady at A smile a day for a swap. Well when I got these I was stoked because I'd never had hand knitted socks before and I just love the colours. A very big thanks to you Denise.x

Lovely warm tootsies for winter - which by the temperature these last few mornings doesn't seem too far away!
