I couldn't wait to get home and have a look inside.
I was not disappointed!
Bags and sunnies and beads and brooch and bangle and scarves and sequins and orange 1960s baby doll nighties.
But wait. There's more.
Just look at the fabulous print on this cape-sleeve 1970s maxi dress. I can't wait to wear it!
I can't show you the bag of delightfully named Pineapple Lumps, cos we've scoffed them all.
The girls seem to be under the impression that some of the gifts are for them. Would it be inappropriate if I call them the Pineapple Lumps? Great name for a girl band.
Eldest LB informed me that the nightie she's wearing must be for her, as it's too short for me and would show my bottom.
Don't know what the problem is with that...
So that is my parcel of heavenly delights from the Goddess herself. Thank you, darling delicious soon-to-be-famous Helga, you are too too kind.
Of course I did a bit of charity shopping while I was out and about.
I like this smart wool C&A coat, it fits really well, and it was in the half price sale, so cost all of £2.50.
More coat hangers, 50p each. Charley liked biting the holly fabric-covered one. Obviously not a fan of Christmas.
And since my crazy drag queen false eyelashes are for extra special occasions only, I invested a whole 50p in these rather more subtle falsies.
And though these photos aren't from yesterday (the hair colour gives the game away), this was pretty much what I wore.
Wool poncho, hat, scarf, ditsy 70s-style dress, sparkly footless tights, hoop earrings, bangles - all charity shopped. Boots - Ebay.
And for no other reason to amuse you (and myself), I thought I'd share a couple of out-takes from Sunday's sweater girl photo session. Does anyone else try ridiculous poses just for fun? It can't just be me, can it?
Hurry up with the bloody photos, I'm dying for a pee.
Soooo sexy. And soooo foolish.
Has anyone got any good 'uns they are prepared to share?
Go on, I dare you!

The girls look splendid.They've clearly inherited your style and class! Yee! I agree about why your bum hanging out would be a problem! Bums hanging out is all good in my book.Anything hanging out is good,really!

Helga's been busy! I got a parcel yesterday, too! What divine treats, those Pineapple Lumps are addictive, aren't they?
The girls look so cute, I bet you were just as cheeky when you were a little 'un. Tell 'em there's loads of us out here in Blogland that would love to see your bottom.
That coat's a right bargain and I'd be with Charley biting anything Xmas related, the whole shebang is already boring the pants off me.
Gorgeous poncho and sparkly tights combo. Even the silly pictures make you look hawt! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oooo laaa laaa!
What a lot of pretty gifts from the red headed foxy one.
I have got to say those orange baby doll nighties are so cute! I love the old lingerie. (I have yellows, green and blue) I have got to find me a orange one.
GOD I love that maxi dress I think it will look damn good on you too. (So hurry and show us) lol
Now I am totally JELOUS over that bag!! MY heavens it is FREAKING LOVELY and reminds me of my Grandmas past throw pillows when I was a wee girl.
Your daughters are so adorable. They seem to have quite a good sense of humour & look like they take after their scrummy Mom.
Now I had a good laugh at the I'm dying for a pee pose.
Your posts always make me smile Curtise. You surely were meant to be a bloggie Chic.
What a legend - all that madness going on at home yet she still manages to send care packages. Loving the biggest pineapple chunks poses - she and Desiree's stylist are surely the up and coming next generation of style bloggers!
All my poses are dreadful, but unintentionally. I do wish cameras didn't hate me.
Pineapple Lumps! Brilliant name for a girl band - excellent bag of goodies that were sent to you too! Enjoy!

Oh gawd, I love that your girls fell in love with the contents of The Goddess of Hotness's parcel - yes Pineapple Lumps usually don't last the car ride home - they're bloody scrumptious aren't they? The looks on your babies faces - priceless!! I wonder if it's safe to tell them the nightie is meant to be worn BY ITSELF!!!! Hehehehe!!! The maxi is bloody gorgeous and I see you've received one of Helga's glorious leopard-print goodies! You're a saucy minx Curtise and adore your woollen poncho and sweater girl frock!!!!!
