All About The Love

Mesdames et Messieurs, happy Monday. In the spirit of peace, prosperity, and friendship with all nations (please note the Oxford comma 🙂 ), I greet you in French and bring you tidings of winning entries. Drumroll!!! The winners of our ‘Merry New Year’ prize draw are: Hazel Ahmad, Pat Danning, and Corina Naish. Commiserations with those who did not win this time but there will be other draws so bonne chance. Lucky ladies, please send us your address via the contact form and your prize will wing its way to you mos’ def before Valentine’s Day.

Even if you didn’t win this time, Valentine’s Day need not be a busted flush. As we’ve said on FB – Valentine’s Day: Do you wish to receive cheap, scratchy red lingerie? Thought not. Order a mix of fabulously-scented gift-wrapped goodies from AlaraApothecary and avoid gift-shaming in 2020. AlaraApothecary: Relationship Superheroes.

You just need to leave this post open on your laptop tactically, and job done. Select a mix of products and we will gift-wrap them and dispatch them in time for Feb 14th as long as you order by the 10th of February. Post-it notes and arrows may be a powerful reinforcement in cases involving hardened clueless partners but we have to say they lack subtlety. As for the hardcore Valentine’s Day ‘bah-humbuggers’, we have catered for you as well. – we would never ignore you. This joke is for you:

A business tycoon spent his life amassing great wealth, neglecting his resigned wife and children. As he got older he became obsessed with the efforts he had made and his legacy. Being a self-made man, he decided to make sure the undeserving didn’t profit from his demise. He made his wife promise on a stack of bibles that she would bury his money with him Egyptian-pharaoh style. Come the dreaded day, our friend shuffled off this mortal coil. His lawyer was surprised to see his rather chipper wife practically skipping out of the cemetery. “Mrs Bloggs, how are you doing? I’ve been wondering how you will manage given your husband’s instructions regarding his estate.” Mrs Bloggs replied, “Dear Mr Sueandgrabbit, as you know I promised to bury my husband’s money with him. We had a joint account – I wrote him a cheque and put it in his coffin.” It’s the way we tell ’em. Have a lovely week.
