I am so insanely late with this post. It was meant to go up on Saturday and I didn't even do one last Saturday so now I have two weeks' worth of post to show you guys.

If you want to link up with Alice-Megan, here's what you need to know!

  • Linky runs from Saturday to the following Friday
  • Link one post containg a haul or item that you have received in the post that week
  • Mention me (@x_walter) and Alice (@alicemegan1993) with the #LIML hashtag for a retweet
    Visting other linkers and leaving comments would be lovely
  • Myself and/or Alice will promote your post on Twitter during the weekD
  • Don't forget to tell your friends!
So here's what I've received these past two weeks!

Wins:
Mug
I won this quite a while ago from Baby Yorke Designs on Facebook. I'm a sucker for a slogan and I love this one!
My Little Pony colouring book
This was a win from POP TV on Twitter. I love it and I'll probably keep it for myself, ha!
Nightdress
I won this Atticus & Gilda nightie in a Rafflecopter giveaway run by Little Flea. It's worth £43 and E totally rocks it. They included little slippers and a bamboo toothbrush which was a nice surprise.

Art book
I won this from Mumzilla's blog. C loves all things arts and crafts so I'm sure that we can start on the easier ones and spend lots of time as he gets older doing the more complicated ones.
Aquabeads
This was a little Twitter win that I was thrilled about. C has seen the Aquabeads adverts on TV and always tells me that he wants some for his birthday.

Miles of Smiles Book
We love our books so I was chuffed to win this from Belle du Brighton blog. It's such a lovely story.

Rapeseed oil
I won this in a low entry local Twitter giveaway. I think maybe only 25 people entered! The oil itself is produced here in Northern Ireland.
Cookbook
This was a web win from Food Network. I've put on quite a bit of weight since having E so this is perfect for me. The recipes look simple enough for me to do - I'm not the best cook!

The Secret Life of Pets Book
We took the kids to the cinema to see the movie a couple of weeks ago and they loved it so C was thrilled to get the book version.

Cuddly Cow Book
A Toppsta win - hooray! E is obsessed with making it moo. She loves sound books.

Twirlywoos puzzles
This was a surprise win that just turned up. It was a web competition and there were tons of Twirlywoos goodies to be won. E will love this! I've put it away for her birthday.

Room DVD
I won this at Chez Maximka. I have heard such amazing things about this movie so I was really trying to win a copy!
Purchases:
Birthday presents
Chris and I had a minor panic about how close the kids birthdays are and how little we had bought. We browsed Smyths and ordered these to start us off and I am so excited to see their faces. The Rainbow Dash is a storyteller and I know it will go down well.

Playmobil
 This was a bargain buy on Amazon. RRP is £30 but I got it for only £13.99. Just search Playmobil Super 4 Gunpowder Island - it's still on offer at that price!
Books
I ordered these two books for C from Wordery. The Lego Star Wars annual was because they had a copy at the kids area of a café I went to last week and he never put it down. I think he was ready to take it home with him! He loves dinosaurs so I wanted to get him a book so he could learn more about them. This Usborne one is by far the best book I have ever bought him. I'm even learning things!
 
Reviews:
Primula 

 I received the full range of Primula cheeses to come up with unusual combinations. I'm so excited to get making.

Others: 
The Magic Chair book
 My lovely friend Jenna at Chic Geek Diary won a code for one of these books and very kindly gifted it to C. It's so nice!
Weetabix On the Go
 This was a little SoPost freebie. Great for busy mornings when you don't have time for breakfast.
Body Shop 
I love a body butter and this was a SoPost freebie too. It smells so good.

I also received £25 Love2Shop for a blog post that I did a couple of weeks ago. Super handy!

Have you received anything nice lately?

  1. Lots of awesome things! Well done on the wins. :D I haven't done a LIML post in weeks because I haven't received much and I haven't blogged in a while due to my stupid health! Hoping to get back to it soon. :)
