Custom's alert...

April fool's day was just a little while ago, and thought I'd play the greatest trick ever on my poor unsuspecting friend.
She always sends me proper English Cadbury chocolate (Aussie Cadbury just ain't right) she has since said that she won't send me any more because of this but I'm hoping she's lying.....
As always her little parcel popped through the post, hidden by me as I DON'T SHARE but not before spying some thing in there that shouldn't be.
Not really sure I should declare it on here as she may now get into trouble. But lets just say it shouldn't have been in the envelope.
I messaged her to say this and put the panic alarm to a slight tremble for her. True to style she then kept sending me links of bio hazardness and stuff like that... DID NOT READ, deleted straight away.
Over drinks one night with Super and her husband I quickly began to hatch a plan with Super's hubby in tow and prompted what to do we got our wickedness ready for 1st April.
Being now 9 hours ahead it was a long wait until we could make the call.

Phones primed and ready, my phone on speaker and muted on Super's husband. He went off to the other room to make said call from "Australian Customs"
But boooo, my friend did not pick up. Answer phone message left and informed they would call again on Monday as it was now Saturday.
Meanwhile I had txd said friend to put her off the scent that anything was going on. In panic stations she messages back "Didn't think customs worked on Saturday" I replied "Sorry, I haven't been allowed to talk to you about this, but they've had me in for questioning" her quick reply was that actually her partner posted the envelope and put the foreign matter in, so it's his fault not hers and therefore she won't get into trouble. Talk about a snitch!!
Had her going for a few tx's and may have actually had a few too many gins, as the last message was that she was going to ring customs herself and literally turn herself in.
Monday morning came (now 2 days later) and went where I meant to own up but forgot, it wasn't until it was Monday evening when Sean asked "You have let her know now haven't you Mad"
EEEEK... I hadn't but quickly did.

She was NOT impressed but secretly I think she thought it was brilliant.

On the flip side, we actually did have a letter from customs land in our mail box 2 days ago... it appears our 15 year son tried TWICE I might had to buy a Karambit form China and have it sent here. The reason "Because its cool and you can do tricks with it"
Sigh, double sigh and grounded for a year.
