Surprises
What is the nicest surprise you have received from someone? (keep it clean people!)
Mine has to be my surprise Bday BBQ that Pebs organised for me at Chez Pebs this year - in fact I think it is the only surprise I have had The other reason for me starting this thread is because I bought mum and dad surprise tickets for Sound of Music tonight and they are on my table in the hall. Dad said they would be arriving at 1pm and I haven't heard anything yet :undecided: Not sure what to do! Guess I should call em before 4pm though! BB x |

Hmm, only a little thing really but never had a big surprise, and this one was lovely anyhow.
On my last day of work last year, my workmates bought me a big bottle of some red alcopop stuff. I always left my stuff like car keys in our kitchen type room, I went out there to get my stuff and found one of the guys had put all my stuff, along with kitchen cleaner and polish and basically everything he could find in the kitchen into a plastic bag. I thought he was just messing around so started getting stuff out the bag to find my things, and there's this bottle of drink. Turned around and they're all there smiling at me Was a nice way to end the day, felt really appreciated there.

The ones that immediately spring to mind all involve people here. My presents on NYE, I was absolutely blown away, seriously!
BBx turning up on my doorstep after MtE's bull**** was revealed was something I will always be grateful for, my grasp on sanity was slipping fast and she saved the day. MB and Aitch did a lovely thing at the Nottingham meet which was just the sweetest thing ever And I've had countless lovely surprises from all the Haven girlies over the past months. As I said, they are what immediately spring to mind, there'll be more!

Aitch took me to New York for my 30th, she bought me 30 prezzies and the last one was a big apple, when I asked her why she told me we were going to New York! MB |

Awwww I feel all warm and fuzzy
I called my flat (after thinking maybe they didn't have my mobile/work number on them after my dad sat on his phone :/) Turns out they were too busy putting up my curtains and cleaning my kitchen floor to call! Chuffed about the tickets though so that is cool BB x PS Nottingham? Was I drunk too?! |

Not really had many suprises in my life, but our postcard book that the people of BD kindly put together and donated to us was absolutely amazing. I was so touched and completely bowled over by everyone's thoughtfulness and all the lovely postcards, and then I noticed all the £20's crammed in it and I think that's when I burst into tears Timing couldn't have been better either, because we thought we were just about to lose our house and start all over again, and it just took our mind off it. *wubs*
