In 1989, Elnaugh founded Red Letter Days, one of the first UK companies to sell experiential gifts such as motor racing days, hot air ballooning and health spa days. (link via Internet Archive) The idea to set up Red Letter Days came from purchasing tickets to a cricket match for her father as a gift. The company grew to an £18 million turnover, and led to Elnaugh being a 2001/2 finalist in the Veuve Clicquot Businesswoman of the Year and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. After an attempt to expand the business into the retail sector, Red Letter Days went into administration on 1 August 2005; Elnaugh had become a dragon on the TV series Dragons' Den, the remaining assets and goods of Red Letter Days were bought by fellow dragons Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis.

On red letter days, judges of the English High Court (Queen's Bench Division) wear, at sittings of the Court of Law, their scarlet robes (see court dress). Red letter days for these purposes are a fixed selection of saints' days (sometimes coinciding with the traditional start or end dates of the legal terms during which sittings of the High Court take place) and of national celebrations, mostly associated with senior members of the British royal family (and, therefore, changing from generation to generation).

On such days, doctors of the university may wear their scarlet 'festal' or full dress gowns instead of their undress ('black') gown. This is more significant for the ancient universities such as Oxford and Cambridge where academic dress is worn almost daily, the black undress gown being worn on normal occasions as opposed to the bright red gowns.

Andy Croft has noted that in its coverage of 1930s British literature, "Inside the Whale" ignores women writers active in that period (such as Rebecca West and Naomi Mitchison) as well as working class writers such as Walter Greenwood, thus creating a misleading impression that the period was dominated by the work of middle-class male writers like Auden.Andy Croft, Red Letter Days : British fiction in the 1930s. London : Lawrence & Wishart, 1990. (pp. 17–29) Janet Montefiore strongly criticized "Inside the Whale" in her book Men and Women Writers of the 1930s : the dangerous flood of history.

De Haan has commissioned over 150 works by Australian composers, including Love song by Carl Vine, which Vine said was "Written after a long period in which both Simone and I had been involved in the performance of a great deal of intellectually, technically and physically demanding music, it is concerned more with the purely lyrical aspects of musical performance. While demanding considerable stamina on the part of a live trombonist, the long sustained notes throughout the work function as a "warm-up" for the player's embouchure, culminating in some of the highest notes available to a tenor trombone." Other commissions include Occasional poetry by Carl Vine, Sonata for two trombones by Lawrence Whiffin, and Red letter days by Lawrence Whiffin.

After expanding via supermarket distribution, Red Letter Days went into administration on 1 August 2005; the remaining assets and goods were bought by fellow Dragons' Den entrepreneurs Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones in 2005. They revealed on Alan Carr: Chatty Man that they made the decision to purchase the company whilst under the influence of alcohol. Following the acquisition, Jones and Paphitis said that all vouchers bought on a Visa or credit card had been honoured as well as corporate customers. Although Elnaugh was at the helm before and at the time of the company's failure just days after the birth of her fourth child, she blames the problems on the actions of a previous CEO, Simon Vincent, who she appointed in 2002 but who left the company two years before in early in 2003, while she took a non-executive role.

ITV1's "Tonight Programme" had a more critical explanation of the demise of Red Letter Days, including unpaid suppliers and disappointed purchasers. The programme suggested the business model failed to escrow or earmark supplier payment equity, instead using it for working capital. Whilst Elnaugh blamed the company's bankers, who placed £3 million in a bond which they refused to release for use by the firm despite the fact that some of it may have related to vouchers that had expired and were not recoverable against the business. It was the funds held by the credit card company under this bond which enabled the new owners to honour vouchers issued prior to the company falling into administration. Mrs. Elnaugh admitted in her book “Business Nightmares” that her finance team had lost track of the company’s voucher liabilities and its debts to suppliers.

The Calendar of the Book of Common Prayer included among the red letter days "state services" commemorations of the Gunpowder Plot, the birth and restoration of Charles II, and the execution of Charles I. In addition, a proclamation made at the beginning of each reign from Charles II to Victoria annexed special services for these days to the Prayer Book by royal mandate (approved unanimously by Convocation). Special sermons were preached, and hundreds of sermons on King Charles the Martyr were printed from the 1660s until the late eighteenth century. The title of the service for 30 January was: :A FORM OF PRAYER WITH FASTING, :To be used yearly on the Thirtieth of January, :Being the Day of the Martyrdom of the Blessed King CHARLES the First; :to implore the mercy of God, that neither the Guilt of that sacred and innocent Blood, nor those other sins, by which God was provoked to deliver up both us and our King into the hands of cruel and unreasonable men, may at any time hereafter be visited upon us or our posterity. In 1859 the State Services were omitted from the Prayer Book by royal and parliamentary authority but without the consent of Convocation.
