I’m also devastated because I placed an order for some of the products, and didn’t use the gift code – wasn’t on the blog first, so I just placed the order then went onto the blog site. That’ll teach me, won’t it? Never mind. Loving watching you as always – ooops, that’s sounds creepy, doesn’t it? I meant that in a totally non-creepy way, Ha ha ha.
