Easter's nearly here. It's no Christmas, but people still like to give each other stuff so we'd like to send you a little something in the post. It's definitely not chocolate (we've eaten our quota for April already), but it's still a little something nonetheless. Just fill in your details here (by April 6th) if you like little somethings.

http://family.innocentdrinks.co.uk/newsletters/
Scroll down to the section called 'Easter come early'
This turned out to be a £2.99 coupon to be redeemed against Innocent products.

Nice little treat to find in the post today! :D

I am super excited about seeing Game of Thrones tonight. Apparently Sean Bean will be there! :kiss:

I received one through the post but also got an email this morning to say the barcode is wrong so they are sending another one so expect one to come through your doors too. Further investigations from MSE it seems that the barcode given is for £6 off a magazine not the £2.99. Might worth trying it just to see and plead ignorance if questioned ;)

Your suggestions have been noted! I may attempt to integrate the transsexual into the thing I am currently writing. Not sure how that is possible, but I'll try :p

I received the e-mail before our post was delivered - with the voucher in it - found that a bit strange. The thought of trying it out anyway crossed my mind, too .... :twisted:

Incidentally, did anyone manage to exchange the vouchers Innocent had the other day for a bottle of orange or apple juice? Every single shop I have been to had all sorts of Innocent drinks but the shelf where this size juice should have been was empty.

Will you invite us to the reading of "chapters from Matty MC's new book"?

Plans to go to Yorkshire to surprise my dad for the weekend keep going wrong, starting to think it's not meant to be! First all the trains out of Kings Cross were cancelled, cue lots of unhappy people (though one of them was Jimmy Carr so that was at least entertaining for a minute or so). Nearly 2 hours later I manage to get on a train, I even have a seat so all is going well. Then it all goes a bit wrong again and our train stops due to signal problems and we're still awaiting a train with still a bit of a way to go yet before I'm in the right county, plus another train connection and bus journey. What a nightmare. Oh well, at this point it will definitely be a surprise when I turn up, will be nice surprise to me! On the plus side I think I can at least claim a refund on my overpriced ticket!

Starting to think I'd have more luck on a miniature pony from Devon...

For some strange reason, I thought yesterday was Sunday and put my alarm clock on in anticipation of an early start on Monday morning. As a result I woke up way too early today and am rather tired. *yawns*

I went to be 12 pm and woke up 5am from a stupid, I presume car, alarm outside... Which is still going on................. Needless to say I am not happy. Plus I had a bit too much whine last night and definitely needed the sleep :tears:
