Last Saturday, I was truly spoilt!!! In fact, not only once, twice but THRICE.
While in London, Lara, cooked a special breakfast and she and Emma then presented me with a lovely gift.
Then after Kelly & Rory's wedding we went through to Durban for the day. Shortly after we arrived at Mark's, the doorbell rand and low and behold there were the Hewisons and Merv. Melanie had managed to secretly get hold of some of the Durbanites and have a little get together for me. I was hugely surprised!! With hindsight, I must admit everyone had been a little out of character leading up to the weekend while making arrangements to get together for lunch, but never would I have thought that's what was cooking!
Finally JHB....With my bridesmaids so far away, Jeanie & Tracy K offered to organise a pamper party for me. Poor Jeanie had been given so many "DO NOTS" that I think she regretted her offer. I was adamant that I was not be dressed-up or made a fool of. When it came to reveling my spoils, I was to take a piece of paper from a bowl. Jeanie then read what had been written and I was to guess who it was from. The idea behind it was "remember when". Once I had successfully guessed who's remember when had been read, I was allowed to open the pressie. This is truly the nicest way to break the ice and for some of the girls to get to meet each other before the wedding. I am so blessed with fantastic friends and we had a very civilised afternoon-even though we had a little stripper. Thanks Luke for being the cutest bare body we could have wished for!

I wondered when you said you'd had a stripper and seemed quite calm about the whole thing...!!!
