Cinders shall go to the ball

We were dirty stop outs last night. After having a bit of a manic day with visits from the hair dresser and Magic Maggie, we accelerated Munchkin evening schedule by an hour. We had to get him in bed by 1900 in order to catch our carriage to a swanky hotel for a charity ball. It all went without a hitch and Munchin as ever was very co-operative. Our carriage in the form of a Ka driven by J's Daddy arrived just before 1930 and we headed off into the sunset.

It was a grand do. The meal was nice, the wine flowed (but not freely!) and the company was excellent. There was a raffle (fantatic prizes!) and an auction (you could actually but the services of a man or even three)

We danced and pranced and sang till the wee hours - we lost track of time. We meant to get home for midnight but by the time any of us checked it was 0100!!!! There was a mad scramble into the Ka. J's Daddy promptly fell asleep. T was direction giver and J's mummy drove us safely home. And not a minute too soon. Profuse apologies were made to Aunty Mo who babysat. Fortunately, Munchkin did not make one peep. And as a bonus for Daddy day Munchkin didn't call for us till 0900 this morning! Nice, Nice Munchkin!
