Rob, The Postman came down the path today with a pile of mail for me. In amongst the usual bills and junk mail ~ offering me double glazing and life insurance!! ~ there was a brown envelope for me!! Wondering what it was and knowing that I had definitly NOT been feeding my ebay addiction again (ha ha), I quickly ripped it open.
Inside was the cutest little card, which has a hamster on the front ~ who is the spitting image of the hamster we used to have!!! The card was from Amanda ~ over at pennynpounds. Also in the envelope were 2 really really big pencils with pictures of Scotland on them ~ Amanda had sent them for Daniel and Lauren (so they would have no excuse for not doing their homework ~ ha ha!!). The pencils are a big hit and Dan and Lauren have been drawing with them since they got home from school!!
Thank you so much Amanda, for the lovely card, the lovely words and for the two great big pencils ~ which the children love!! You have made our day!!

Hi Dani ~ yes, they were very pleased with Amandas gifts and they will need sharpening soon ~ as they have been used so much today ha ha!!!
It was so very kind of Amanda ~ the card was so sweet, but sending the kids a gift was just the sweetest thing ~ and very unexpected!!
