Hang on, just had a cup of tea and it hit the spot - it went fanbloomingtastically well!
I not only left the house, I went and met a complete stranger (though I knew I'd like her from seeing her post on here....but still I find it really hard to talk to strangers....I watched one too many Charlie Says adverts when I was young), and posed and got some of my kit off in front of lots of people in a public park, and chatted and asked lots of questions to try and make her feel at ease.....it went brilliantly!!!
Loved it.
(oh the true power of Tetley Tea)
