Picked up my parcels from the post office.... !!

Well, I picked up my parcels at the sorting office today.

The first one was some Moo Milk flavoured long-life milk drinks - I won a Moo Milk hamper a couple of weeks ago and part of the prize was about 30 odd cartons of flavoured milk, nearly all of which were out of date, so these are the replacements.

The other package was a bit of a surprise. I won a musical Barbie jewellery box earlier in the week which I assumed was the runners up prize in a comp I'd entered, as I hadn't had a wem, letter or phone call.

Well, turns out I must have won the 1st prize, as the second package contained a Barbie laptop AND a Barbie chair :j

I took them straight round to my little niece who currently has an eye injury, a kidney infection AND a throat infection, poor thing. I gave her the jewellery box the other day when she was off to the eye hospital, and she was delighted with that, so she was really pleased to get the chair and laptop as well

So, thanks again to hjb123 for posting the Barbie comp :T

Then, to top it all off, while Rosie was sitting in her Barbie chair, playing on her Barbie laptop, the postie turned up with my iPod Shuffle which I won in a Holiday Autos comp, and posted about yesterday.

All in all, a really good week :)
Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010
