Quelle surprise!

 I arrived home from town to find this DPD box at my front door. To say I was surprised was an understatement.


The only thing I've ordered in the past month was a pair of dancing shoes....not a pair of stilts!

So I checked the address. Yes it was for me.

I hauled it in, not very heavy. There were four holes around the top of it. Made sure there wasn't an animal inside.

I had to get a knife to cut through the cellotape before I could open it. I heard a loud POP!

So unfortunately I burst the balloon but the flowers are still intact!


So thank you soooooo much to the wonderful person who sent them. 

And watch this space to find out what the CONGRATULATIONS are for!!!

AS I MAY HAVE SAID BEFORE, I AM THE QUEEN OF OVERTHINKING!

Minutes ticked slowly by. The sweat was dripping down my face which may have been due to the fact that I was in a steam room but was more likely because of my mortification.

After what seemed like an eternity the door opened again and two women entered. I took this as my chance and escaped.

Why do these things have to happen to me???

Day 38: The Long Journey Home

  After my only meltdown of the entire holiday, I finally arrived home. Every night during my trip, tucked up in bed, I checked the stat...
