Unfortunately we won't be able to be there because our little one needs us to get him to bed (pesky kids!!) but we look forward to catching up with all of you soon. Can't wait to hear about the party! Lots of love, SFL xx

Don't feel guilty, tell the truth, keep it bright & breezy and arrange to see them at a time that suits you. Proper friends always understand xxx

Hope everyone is OK. 24 more for me please xxxx
