    Thank you all for your thanks :o It was SUCH fun, organising this. I'd forgotten how lovely it is to do a project like this - it's really really rewarding. And WaS is lovely to buy things for - so appreciative and excited! You reminded me of my lovely nephew. I bought him something one Christmas when he was about 5. He was totally overcome, and bounced up and down for ages waving the gift around excitedly. When he'd calmed down a bit, he asked in a very small voice 'and what IS it?' :x
    So what was it then, JM? :D
    Just seen this video of a pug enjoying a bath, which I thought should be shared with Sir P. WARNING - may make Elsien jealous to see a dog who actually ENJOYS being bathed! :D

    How useful to have a sink-sized dog! I always had to bend into the bath (backache), trying to soap/rinse dog with one hand while restraining her with the other, all the while trying to stop her shaking herself and soaking me!
    you all should have seen my face when WaSp came through the door struggling with a huge package! You should have seen WaSp's face! Neither of us could believe it! JM told me someone had sent ONE package, I was so stunned!

    This plum and cinnamon chocolate is amazing!
    Plum and cinnamon chocolate!
    Where's that sold? Someone tell me, quickly!

    I'm pretty sure I sent the plum and cinnamon chocolate, if so it was from Aldi.

    I love your avatar, Pyxis! The chocolate is by Moser Roth, every bite is wonderful!

    WaSp is whining and making pathetic coughing noises, I may have got carried away with the creams again. They all smell so lovely, I usually only have children's toiletries because they are cheap but work. These are so luxurious! My skin is so soft!

    I am truly having a wonderful day and MillieFleur comes home today! (WaSp is threatening to stay with her even though he doesn't need to, to escape the perfumes).

    (on a personal note, my confidence got really bolstered at the weekend as I won a silver medal in my first ever gymnastics competition at the weekend - I'm 35 :D )

    Oh wow, that is impressive stuff!!! Well done!! I did some v basic gymnastics when I was little and it was hard, the thought of trying to do it now (I'm also 35) is just hilarious. You must be fantastically flexible.
