Today I received a gift!
As some of you know I like a glass (or two) of red wine but I don’t know a lot about wine. I know I like South African Red Wine best but there are many out there I don’t know anything about! The gift I received this morning will change all that, I have been sent this lovely book
Now I know you are wondering who sent me this great personal gift, well it was that lovely ‘Fairy Godfather’ you have probably read about from Appliances Online.
A while back I commented on a post by Savvy Mummy, it just so happened that the Fairy Godfather was watching and he emailed me offering me this lovely gift (such a nice email to receive). The question really is Why would they send me a book when they sell appliances, the simple answer is because they are nice and wanted to send something that would be personal to who I am! So next time I settle down with my glass of wine, I can read about what to drink next!
So a big thank you to Appliances Online and If you were to comment on this post you never know what might happen, you might receive a lovely gift too!

How thoughtful of them! It’s always nice to get surprises in the post…as long as they aren’t nasty surprises like huge gas bills! 😉

How lovely! I love the pay it forward mentality. In fact it is one of my favourite films, so much so as a teacher I created a scheme of work based around it, so I could show my students the film and educate them on paying it forward.
