So my AD gifter has sent me couple of messages saying they were going to be late as their partner had been in hospital so I had kind of given up hope, with no feelings of annoyance as shit happens and real life problems like hospital are much more important than petty disappointments.

However today was a fantastic late arrival of my Arbitrary Day Package.

The key piece of information here is that today is my daughter's second birthday and I must have put the fact that I had 2 kids in my AD profile because my gifter came through on all three fronts.

For my daughter, I got a big box of Duplo, which is absolutely perfect as we got her Duplo for her birthday last year and she loves it and it was something I had considered for this year too. Needless to say she was delighted, so much so that when the grandparents came round this evening for birthday cake she brought it out to the garden to show them all.

For the wee man (four months old as of a couple of days ago) we got a dribble bib and overalls which is perfect as he has just started to teethe and everything he comes close to gets covered in the glaze of baby drool.

Lastly for me, my gifter obviously picked up on the fact I am a big Simpsons fan, sending me four Lego Minifigures and gosh darn it but now I'm going to have to go out and collect the other 12 to complete the set.

So thanks again, and I really, sincerely hope your partner is on the mend.
