Secret Pal - First Parcel

Because I’ve not got a regular postman and I don’t trust stand-ins I asked my SP to send my parcels to work.

We had the post delivered this morning which included special deliveries so I thought I had missed out on getting my first parcel for Christmas. My SP had told me that they had posted it so I knew it was on the way so when nothing arrived on my desk this morning was downhearted – awwwwwww 

Anyway just had a telephone call from reception and my special delivery has arrived! I’m being a good boy and it will sit under the tree tonight (well that is if MonsterMog does not pull it down again as he did yesterday just in time for my local knitting group coming to my house!). It will then get opened up tomorrow morning and I’m going to have to twist someone’s arm to let me have the camera out.

This is now probably going to be the last post before Christmas as we have a strict no mobiles/no PC policy on Christmas and Boxing Day.

Also just mentioning my local group. I made biscuits on Sunday (and aborted gingerbread which solidified in the fridge) and they went down well. I had hoped to ice them as well but time was my enemy. Pictures of these pre- and post-baking will appear Saturday as well.

Photos and more will follow on Saturday!

In the meantime hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and Santa is kind to you.
