  • Congratulations Jen, looks like you've got a lot organised already!
    How did your make up last, magpie?

    Got home today to find one of those "sorry we missed you notes" from FedEx who tried to deliver most of the sweets for the sweetie buffet. They're only open until 5:30 though the week so I wont be able to collect them until Saturday. :( Mind you there's a big enough pile of sweets in the living room already!
