Heya, we are going to try and make it but it will be our first outing by ourselves without DH, so fingers crossed, and if we don't make it, you will know that it has all turned to custard!
I was thinking, how about we all meet for dinner sometime? leave our darlings with our partners and hubbys for a few hours?!! Something low key and it will be nice to see everyone without their bambinos! I love seeing all the kiddies don't get me wrong!

Looking forward to tomorrow, see you all at 10.30. Lisha,if it makes you feel any better I made my first car trip alone with Amaya today and she is 10 weeks old! (Although the first 5 of that was in the UK so no car...) I'm a slow starter it seems! I've been lucky cos my DH has been home with me since we got home to NZ, but now I REALLY need to venture out alone...
