Hello. This is Lily's OH here. I want a word about pearl necklaces!

Not really.

I haven't joined up before as LB has been doing most of the technical research into "this thing of ours". But seeing as we're up in court tomorrow I just wanted to offer you all the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for all the advice, help, support and laughs you've given her - and by extension me - over the last couple of months. I know how much she's appreciated it. We couldn't have done this without you. At least not without about about ten times the amount of c**p that this process inevitably entails. Good luck to those waiting for a date and congratulations to those on the other side. And to anyone up tomorrow - we're right there with you.

    You're all too kind. Lil is, as I write, regaling you with tales of this morning's bureaucratic encounter.
    Regarding necklaces and the like, I find that a particularly strong, bracelet-bearing wrist is often the result of supplying the more unusual forms of jewellery one can obtain...
