Bummer - I hope it's not that brutish lurgy that's doing the rounds. May I recommend sage tea if you have head cold and chest problems? Give it plenty of time to brew and drink it as hot as you can stand it.

I'll come to the next one though...

I would have gotten my hair done if you'd given me some notice, Aragon. I don't have your flowing tresses, sadly.

We would need expatgirl, theBear and Irishbeergurl. Anyone else?

I wouldn't have thought off-white was EVM's colour but he looks okay in a pleated frock.

This is the ibis dress, by designer Zac Posen...

The cookie monster rainbow dress

What's it going to be? An Anne Summer's Party ?

Knitting circle

Boozer and clubbin ?

Slim Buddha has an entire wardrobe of dresses.

Don't you just love google images?

Have you ever been to an Ann Summers' party, cactus?

Not knowingly.

I try to act all liberal and cool, but I'm a closet prude, so I'm sure I'd do well at one of those things. And my sister is suggesting going to pole dancing classes for her hen night! Yikes!

My mum recently took up knitting again, and knit/crocheted all the decorations for the Christmas tree. There's an angel, a robin, a santa, some stars. They were really cool.

Now we're talkin'! I've got a bottle of pinot grigio in the fridge; who's got the West Coast Cooler?

I suppose it might have been a tupperware party...

TheBear, I'm a bit under the weather tonight, but a girl's meet up another time would be good.
Are you in the new house yet?

Bring your vino to the Ann Summers' party and laugh yourself sick.

Yeah, we moved in 4 weeks ago today, but the place still isn't quite right yet (and at times its felt like it never would be). As I type, my boyf and a friend are upstairs laying floors (an ordeal, which should have taken a day and a half, but which is on to its fourth day, as nothing goes smoothly in this house). Water started dripping from the ceiling on Christmas Eve, the shower was dripping at the rate of a litre an hour, we only got the cooker connected last weekend, and I haven't painted the kitchen yet, but the apple trees are planted, the strawberries, rhubarb, red currants and raspberries are in their temporary homes, and we're busy looking on the bright side of everything.

We need to book a night up in advance sometime and do this thang in style. Could we combine all three themes CF?

Whatever became of the much maligned Irish Countrywomen's Association - is that still on the go? They used to have a great cafe on Stephen's Green yonks ago. We could do with few ICA folk on MN - some great people there, despite what people tend to say about them. Didnt Frank Hall used to send them up a lot?

(I love that purple/blue dress Kate, beats my hippy gear hands down.

Any more wimmin wan't to Come Out ?

We're still not sure about Auditor #9 since we saw the twinset and pearls...

Hell hath no equal to moving house. My sympathies. If there are nippers in the equation, all the more so.

As to the party - if we are really up for it, all the advice we need is here:

Hello ladies...

Ard Izzard, you're looking surprisingly naturally bosomy.

Well, well. The miracles of modern science and the push-up bra.

You sound just like Eva Herzigova saying that...

Oh, you know me, I'm boyishly buxom!

Exactly.
