I, often, blame Alice. . .

. . . for all sorts of things; like how disorganised I am without her keeping me on the straight and narrow - I blamed her when I TOTALLY forgot a dental appointment due to not turning the diary page early enough in the day/week.
This time:-
She had an M&S "Sparks" Card which I inherited and changed to my name. Previously she would have got the "Birthday present" and we would have shared it. Now I get it and scoff the lot WAY too fast.

Still, not a bad "freebie".
