I think it's an alphabet of competition wins, i.e. Benben's won something beginning with E and K, lucky thing!
Mind you, I can't talk, the postie brought me a DVD this morning which I'm guessing I won in a competition as I certainly didn't order it, lol. Yay to me

I'm really struggling to keep my eyes open already so am off to bed now
We're leaving for our daytrip in London at 6.15 in the morning so I need to catch up tonight, I haven't got anything out ready yet either but will need to do it in the morning as I can't think straight anymore tonight. See you all tomorrow evening
