The best laugh for ages

On WOYWW (on 20th March) Annie posted that she had some Scrabble tiles on offer - and you just had to leave a comment saying what was the strangest thing you kept 'just in case it could come in handy'.

This was my comment:

Number one is my lovely Len :))

And next is an indication of my kleptomania - if EVER there's a free ballpoint pen going then it's into my handbag and then stored in a mahoosive poly bag in a drawer here. No hotel, conference centre etc. is safe. Think I'm covered if there's ever a world shortage of biros! The sad thing is that every now and then I have to go through and dump those that are so old they've dried up! Sigh, keep saying I ought to get out more!

I left old pairs of pants and knickers as cleaning cloths off the list :) Err, or did I 'cos I just told you?


On Thursday this week a package arrived in the post - and when I opened it, these were inside. Oh my gosh, I'd only gone and won those Scrabble tiles! There was a lovely card plus the much longed for tiles, in what I thought was the way Scrabble tiles come these days, in a nice drawstring bag:
When I read the card it did make me smile but in the excitement my brain wasn't fully in gear.
 And THEN, I opened up the bag to peek inside at the tiles!
Bwahahahahahah - Len came running to see why I was hopping round with my legs crossed in tears of laughter. Soooo funny, the bag is only a pair of panties made from a duster - so in return, I'm linking this into Annie's Friday Smile for this week. The girls, Annie and Jo, were giggling so much making this package up they only posted it and forgot to take a photo :) They truly didn't ought to be allowed to play together :))

So, from me it's a very BIG:
There's only one letter X of course in a set of tiles - otherwise there'd be a LOT more!!

It's a new week in the Snippets Playground on Sunday of course - you might just want to hop by and see what's been going on, but I won't be modelling the panties - not even as a jaunty little hat:)

  6. I can't stop laughing. I think we are sisters in crime...I'm so bad I tell clerks in stores that I am a pen thief and they can help me by asking for their pen back. I think we both need pens anonymous.

  20. LOL! That is fantastic...both the story about you using old nickers as dusters and the fact that the girls made you a knickers bag for the scrabble tiles. Excellent! Thanks for the smile. Caro #7 Have a very Happy Easter.

  21. You three could become a really good comedy act. That is just hysterical. Absolutely brilliant. Sorry I shall not make the playground this week. I lost my calendar this week and forgot it was nearly playground day - that is my excuse and I am definitely sticking to it. I cannot believe how fast this year is flying and we are still freezing. Thank you for your lovely comments on my parchment card. In truth, it is quite easy to do, just following the pattern and counting, sort of cross stitch on paper. Have a good week. xx Maggie

  24. Well my lovely blogging friend, this post had me in stitches and I would also like to thank the lovely Ladies that sent you this gift of the scrabble tiles as I really do feel that there is a great lack of humour in the card making blogging land and it is so refreshing to read posts that really make you laugh.

    Oh dear, still laughing about keeping Len as he may come in handy.
    Who doesn't try to nick pens, for really no reason at all, and I have to say that if they run out very quickly, I get really cross.

    Well, huh, you commented on my pair of old knickers on my radiator but forgot to mention that you use them as well for crafting and cleaning.

    Funny enough the idea of using old knickers came from my Dad as he used to use my Mums old silk panties to clean his glasses.

    I am so sorry that I donor know the two Ladies that sent you these tiles but I have to say that they and you have made my Easter.
    Really sorry Len, but I still can't stop giggling about this comment.

    Have a great Easter.
