Julz, I'm so glad you're only going the day after my birthday - of course i know you planned it that way.
Braai sounds great, I'm hopefully easy around dates....though I have MIL coming around the end of August, aaaargh....we've had a couple of ugly blow ups in the last 18 months, mostly in the way DH and I clash when it comes to disciplining the girls....oh and the first time was over a gun my DH had to take back from FIL when we came here.....
Lisha....ummm good luck with whichever way the news goes

Pink or blue cupcakes

or maybe green...or yellow.....
I did 3 kids on a plane...a 3 yr old, a 4 yr old and a 8 week old baby.....it went as smooth as anything.
Ally, do you have a pic of your gormet cupcakes. I sell mine between R5 and R10 - the R10 ones are the 3D ones, say with the fairies on. But now I have so many orders for just the toppers, I think I hit a nerve when I was thinking that some mums like to bake their own stuff, they just need help with the model work.
Talking of model work - still haven't done anything today!!!! aaaaaaaaaaargh
