THERE IS A CAFFEINE THEME HERE.

Last night I had a dream that the (Johnny Depp version) Mad Hatter was my boyfriend. We hung out drinking tea and talking nonsense at each other. For the whole dream.

Dear subconscious; why?

And in other, surprisingly closely related news:


World's Biggest Coffee Morning!

For anyone who can make it; you are all cordially invited to a tea and coffee party at my place to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support on Sunday 26th September, 12 noon to 6pm.

Instructions!
- Bring any spare change you have lying around, even if it's just a couple of coppers.
- Bring any unwanted junk you have (toiletries, clothes etc).
- Extra guests are welcome provided they also bring spare change ;).
- Have fun!

With regards to the unwanted junk, we'll pile up what people bring and you're welcome to take from these piles anything you see and like - the remains will be donated in the morning :).

Tea, coffee, and fresh scones will be provided. It is highly likely biscuits will be provided as well. You're welcome to bring your own if you like but it's not a necessity!

Last but not least, if you need my address and/or directions, PM me or email me (emeraldembers at gmail) and I will provide them.

Any other questions, just comment here <3.

God, I hope not. *worries* Typical me thinking "Hoshit! 2lbs soap, couple of bubble bars, couple of melts and massage and shampoo bars... IF SHE CAN'T SHIFT IT ALL, OMG WHAT IS EM_EM GOING TO DO?! *panics*"

I hate 'leaving' stuff at other people's houses. It's a terminal and chronic politeness issue. XD

Ahhhhhhhhhh, the vagaries of politeness often escape me :). Generally speaking someone has to actively be insulting/offensive for me to notice.

I do reserve the right to consider chewing with your mouth open if you don't have sinus issues of some sort to be offensive, mind ;).

No, it's not normal. It's 5yrs of being the daughter of a WI charity organiser while being the neice of a WI senior committee member does to you. It's impossible to 'leave' anything without a list of probable things-to-do-with-them, and ALWAYS in the knowledge that a little crap left around leads to more crap left around, which collects even more crap.

So, what I was trying to say is: I will bring as much useless-to-me stuff as I can. And, if you want to use it as a means to increase the donation fund by saying 'Lush Stuff: 50p each' - you're welcome to (some people would object - I'm not one of them) 'Cause I don't mind what you do with it as long as you aren't left with so much soap, and nowhere to offload it, that you go completely insane and start channelling Lady Macbeth! *worries*
