Headless chicken

Happy birthday to darling buckle_berry! (Very slightly late. A bit.)

Sorry if I am MIA for the next couple of days - I'm battling the final onslaught of last minute orders. I'm mostly coping with this by applying mince pies to my face and wearing random clothes I find on the floor.

Thanks for your fab cards, toscas_kiss and kispexi, and to tarteaucitron for inviting me to her completely amazeballs mince pies and mulled wine party. I had my own one on Saturday and Tarte masterfully took control of the mulled wine at that one too with her tasty and effective recipe - wine, lemons and oranges studded with cloves, cinnamon sticks, sugar and once it's all heated through and mulled together, a glass of brandy per bottle of wine used.

Sunday was work in the afternoon and pub in the evening; catching up with old friends and vetting meeting new partners of said old friends. I can't quite believe I made it out the house after Friday and Saturday nights.

I have a work do tonight - am not sure what to wear, or if I will make any sense whatsoever.
