Sunday?? But I thought it was Wednesday!

Oh well, as I'm here I may as well do this .....

So. Lauren thought I'd crack by Sunday tea-time, did she? Well ha! I cracked before Sunday BREAKFAST - so there!! (No, wait. That is still before Sunday tea-time, isn't it? Damn and blast!)

Anyway, it's all Lauren's fault I'm here today. I just couldn't wait any longer to show off a few things .....

A couple of weeks ago I was checking my comments (as us obsessive compulsive blogging types do) after a couple of glasses of white (I don't recommend you try this - you can end up doing or typing something you regret .... although in my case it had a happy ending), and I declared Lauren to be the winner of an impromptu competition after she'd trawled through my archives to find RGH in knitted pants* - the weirdo. So I sent her a teeny tiny monkee bag, which I think she liked.

Anyway, Lauren mailed me to say she'd be sending a Thank You by return, and I was expecting (and looking forward to) one of her super smashing marvellous hand crafted cards. Imagine my delight when I received a package from the postman that had cost over 15 dollars to send - already I had guilt that mine to her was only £ 3.00 to post, but really, I don't know how heavy these home-made cards can be.

Inside the package I found this ......

..... and I thought "Oh how lovely, Lauren has sent me some green notelets", then I hastily put them aside to crack on with the very important job of ripping into these .....

..... Tastykakes, which really are very tasty little kakes, indeed.

A little later, when I was feeling quite stuffed with Tastykakes, I thought "Hmm, I wonder if there are any other colour notelets", so I opened up the box, and it turned out that there were quite a few other other colours ......

All of them MONKEE COLOURED!!!

Feast your eyes on these babies .......

Now, I was only going to show and tell that picture, but as I'm obviously never ever EVER going to be able to give any away, I may as well show them all, up close and personal ......

Aren't they fantastic? They make me beam whenever I look at them (which is often). Like I said, I was pleased with the Christmas cards I made ..... until I saw these. It's no wonder Lauren was recently crowned Queen, to me she is now HRH Lauren.

Thank you so much, HRH, but sadly I won't be sending you a Thank You for your Thank You ..... otherwise this thing could run and run.

And if I relent, and do ever send one of these fabulous cards to anyone ..... feel special.

If you haven't already entered my giveaway competition, please go to this post and leave a comment. Loads of people have already ..... who knew there were so many knitted monkey aficionados out there? Not me.

* please don't bother trawling through the archives to find RGH in knitted pants. There shall be no more impromptu competitions as I'm never drinking again. Ever.
