Oh, it's not a fancy dress party then?
I thought the giraffe and the penguin costumes were really good as well...

I'm not drinking I'm afraid. I'm on chief Auntie duty - typing one-handed while cuddling little niece with the other so Lilsis and Gmaal can get an early(ish) night.

All together now...ahhh, sweet. :D

NOT the thought of Scurra either in or out of a skirt, I hasten to add...not convinced your knees could take the scrutiny either way, dear! Although, come to think of it, I'm not sure mine can either. Although I briefly DID wear a skirt today (shock, horror report!) AND a sparkly top thingy. They lasted until there was no further danger of anyone turning up at our house (we had several unexpected visitors today) and then I was back in my PJs and...wait for it... my new PURPLE fluffy slipper boots. :D

Well, I can verify that I'm the only one in the house wearing a skirt today ...... :lol:
Sorry I've been rather too busy with grandmotherly duties to join the party until now :D .
What did you expect?

Grandmotherly duties round here seem to involve falling asleep in the armchair and snoring loudly.
