Your carpet bag is gorgeous and worth paying a little bit more for if you LURVE it and you would've kicked yourself if you'd gone home without it.

Great idea to bring your own prizes to the pub quiz and I love the Perfect Man especially the idea of him straying from the path of Perfection. Just a TINY bit disappointed there was no picture of you flying with your umbrella... surely it would've been simple to have rigged up a wires and pulley system?!
