Hello all my September lovely mummies! MP, how true, 4 years and such a special connection with a group of truly extraordinary women - my life is so much richer for having you all a part of it.

Ginger, yes it's sooooo exciting, the dollhouse is all painted and ready, I can not WAIT to see the delight on Missy E's face tomorrow!

Arte, never say never...I'm sure there are some very competitive airfares at that time of year!

Cass, I hear you, had a late-night doll-house painting moment myself last night...v.tired but it will all be worth it tomoz!!!

Wishing you all a sensational Christmas. Am off to trim my chutney jars and get a last few things organised. xxx
