I know that the cake has been in the oven for the full duration but needs a few minutes more to finish off ... I'll just interrupt you by making myself a brew ... and some jellies ... because doing so in the previous 50 minutes when you didn't need to stand there just wasn't inconvenient!

Not the 'come to my baby shower so you must bring me a baby present.' A sneaky way of getting twice as many presents from people who would like to bless your family with a single gift anyway. I feel like having a birthday shower. Get one gift a couple of weeks before and then more on the day! OK - rant over.

Having gone to one baby shower in my life it feels as if the idea has been kidnapped, 'Hallmark'ed and offered back to us with added sugar. Not my thing at all]
