This weekend I was away for a mini holiday, which was really great. Well, except for having the kitchen ransacked by a baboon who had a “what you going to do about it?” expression on his face as he tore through an expensive box of chocolates that we had bought for our hosts. The answer to his question – not much.

It was great to finally catch up this morning with the craziness that occurred on the site and forum yesterday and a big thanks to Rachel and all the other contributors. I thought Natalie looked gorgeous in that pink dress and her segment was a big success but I’d like to see how many of you agree in…
