Dinner Party

Good Evening! My eyes are almost hanging out of my head as I sit here this evening! My dinner party that I hosted last night went down well....and I chauffered our guests home at 4am! With 4 children there was never going to be any chance for a sleep in and I think we did well sleeping in until 8am! The preparation all went quite well and as much as it was busy, and I felt like I had 100 different little things to do, I had it all prepared in a few hours, table set, house cleaned, time to sit for a 10minute feet up and cuppa and get myself all dressed up!
Typical girl (or should I say typical me!) I left what I was wearing to the last moment and was super excited to find a dress that I bought at a huge bargain in Surry Hills 2 years ago that I had never worn before! It didnt actually fit me all that well when I bought it! But recall just "having" to buy this dress as it was $299 marked down and down and down to $25! I am not the type to spend $299 on a dress so I "had" to get it! And of course I thought it was gorgeous :-)
