Why hi there Rollergirl and Make Do - it was so lovely to finally meet you both last night. It was London bloggers au-go-go! I was too shy to play dress-ups - did you?
I remember the first time I dragged Mr Top Bird around Shop at Bluebird ... he was bemused by my constant fawning and sighing over various bits n pieces. Eventually he dragged me out with the lure of a cupcake, dammit.
