wonderful prizes and cheeky monkeys

Would you believe it, we have just got home from going to a roller disco, yes I've been on roller skates again after too many years to remember! But it was great fun and gave Holly a good chance to practice as we gave her roller skates for Christmas. But I am definitely tired now! Where did the title of this post come from? Well the monkey in question (disclaimer: I'm not sure if it was the actual monkey in this photo, they move very quickly and all look the same) made me laugh, a lot. We were in the squirrel monkey walk at the zoo where you are in the cage with them, and I was taking photos when I felt a little 'tug' at one of my jeans pockets. I looked down and there was a cheeky monkey trying to take things out of my pocket! It was very funny - he didn't get anything by the way! And the wonderful prize? Well that would be this gorgeous banner and pencils that I won from Earmark for coming up with a name for the banner. It is beautiful and very well made, mine says 'Happy Birthday' and I'm sure that it will last for a long time and be well used - thank you! : )

This post made me smile, thank-you! It is fun-filled. I love your prize; especially the saying on the front of the bag: "Create Happiness."

I love roller skating! I spent many of my teenage years on roller skates. Ahhh the memories! Cute monkey! When I was on a holiday in Malaysia, I was walking through the botanic gardens eating an icecream and a monkey stole it straight out of my hands and ran off with it! Cheeky buggers those monkeys are! Congrats on your win! That's a nice score!

Roller skates?! Goodness, I haven't been on any in donkey's years, but used to love them. How fabulous that you've been rollering again. Lovely stuff you won there. :) x
