(Dear Reader, you could read this rather light post, or you may prefer to skip to the end for your chance to win a copy of the new Gatecrasher's Club Anthems CD)
After school today, IJ asked me if I was free. She meant, was I available to play with her?
I said I was while at the same time skim-reading an email, composing a Tweet and adding another item to my to-do list.
Clearly not available then, was the message I was giving out.
So, quite rightly, I turned the computer off and we spent some long overdue quality time together.
We got slightly carried away, and after baking cookies (packet mix, I'm not that domesticated) and making spoon people (a craft pack from Stressco's, we got our inspiration HERE), we turned the sitting room into a cinema (er.. by turning off the lights) and watched the whole of Monsters Vs Aliens without me jumping up to type away on my laptop.
This time there were no withdrawal symptoms.
IJ commented, "It's like a party, Mummy."
Every day should be like that.
In keeping with the party theme, I have a free promotional copy of Gatecrasher's Club Anthems 1993-2009 (officially released on November 16th) to give away. All details of the 3 disc album are listed here along with a full list of tracks.
I've listened to it and I really like it. I can't lie, I actually have two copies but I'm not prepared to give the other one up so I'm keeping it.
If you'd like to win a copy just put the word 'Gatecrasher' in your comment. The winner will be picked out of a hat, or possibly a small mug, on Saturday 14th November.
