My goodies arrived on Saturday - the best day for a parcel to arrive don't you think? (sending a lot of my mail to school at the moment as i have had a few things not turn up... 3 packages posted from USA in December still out there somewhere...)
A very cool Union Jack flag box packed with goodies -
I am such a supermarket nerd... I love things from overseas supermarkets! And heart chocolate from Sainsbury is great! In a red box. And a bar of lindt too.I must admit my taste for chocolate has diminished since my tonils went, but i keep trying and trying to love the stuff as much as I used to... >br> IKEA fabric - did not have enough time to pursue the fabric at the Brisbane IKEA - gorgeous. A beautiful fabric covered notebook for shopping , which will be very handy; star buttons (I find it hard to find groovy buttons in NZ); scrapbooking paper (hoping to do a blitz once exam over); a book mark (great idea using embroidery thread) and a star pin cushion/bag tag.
Very cool items!
I took part in a Aussie dishcloth swap via another blog just before Christmas - my package finally turned up about month after it was posted, but the package sent to me has never arrived.... Mail and I do not seem to be mixing lately! Or technology (school sorted) but i-pad out of action and now this 6 year old laptop has a broken LCD screen with a great big dirty circle with a tail (looks like a balloon) - do not pick up laptop from the screen... I jsut might have to bite the bullet and buy myself my first ever laptop! Any clues what to get??? (NOT an Apple product fan...)
When I send packages from NZ to Australia and the UK at the very same time. The UK packages get to their destinations a week earlier that the Aussie ones, crazy! xo
ReplyDeleteGreat package you received
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the shoe box
Great package ! Hugs xo
ReplyDeleteGreat package! Lucky you! I have just enjoyed scrolling through your recent posts.. and I see I won your giveaway! Yay! Thanks! I'll email my addy..
ReplyDeleteI sent a parcel to America before Christmas and it only just arrived last week - a parcel I sent to the same address at least a week later arrived ages ago! Then today I received a parcel from Borneo that had only just been sent and I had been warned may take ages and it didn't at all. There is no accounting for the vagaries of international post I reckon. Hope that you get the laptop problem sorted out soon. Your giveaway items are lovely - I had no idea that a Sainsburys heart could be so interesting, but it just shows when it is something that you don't see yourself all the time that it is! xx
ReplyDeleteMore fabulous goodies from the send a little love swap, sorry to hear your woes with the postal service, hopefully it will be a nice surprise when (and if) they finally do arrive xx
ReplyDeleteGlad all arrived safely, but shame about your laptop!! Hope you get a new one soon, but agree with you about about Apple...I'm not a fan either!! I do like the Nexus though, very handy!! : )
