my birthday present from ts5000!!! (hugs)

So, we just had our Christmas 'girls day' and what with my birthday being the end of the month, ts5000 (bless her sneaky little heart) gave me my birthday present as well.

Am still grinning from ear to ear...



Opening my present :)



A proper shot of the photo, now that I have calmed down. Note the grin still!



ts5000 (standing) and Annie. Am looking forward to hooking Annie on SGA...

And the story behind this? I had desperately wanted to get to the Sydney convention, but after having lost 1.5 kilos going to the Highlander one in May, I really couldn't risk another trip to Sydney. Grumble, pout, etc.

What I hadn't realised was that ts5000 had written to the organisers, explained the situation, and this is what arrived back.

Am still grinning.

PS: for those who can't read the text, it says:

Linda, thanks for showing up... oh, you DIDN'T
lots of love
