MY DAY AT THE RACES!
I haven't had a day off work for quite a while due to my new business venture, and I really, really, really wanted to enjoy Melbourne Cup Day for a change - instead of working right through it. So a group of mums from Rocci's class made up a table of ladies and went to our schools function. What a treat to sit around and have a yarn with the ladies, but best of all, and more importantly (to me) I got to 'Frock-Up! I love a good dress up and this was the perfect excuse.
We did sweeps, drank champagne, applied lippy, entered raffles, bid at auction for horses, re-applied lippy, entered fashions on the field, laughed, re-applied more lippy, and generally enjoyed a very loud and raucous time.....actually maybe the loud bit was just me? But, our table was definitely the most raucous.
Ahhhhhh, no stress.
Everything was fabulous, except, for one thing..............(view all pics then read the bottom line.)

My problem is that no-one noticed my doubled stranded exquisite natural pearl necklace and the giant sapphire hanging off it, even though it was surrounded by carats and carats and carats of diamonds. The perfect occasion to wear it - but not one comment!!!!!!! Is it not big enough?????

Way too much time spent on this.

FILLIES ON THE FIELD!

THE HAT THAT SHOULD HAVE WON A PRIZE!

NOTHING LEFT TO DO NOW BUT BLOG UP THE DAY
Perhaps next year I need to borrow my jewels from the queen. Maybe a crown will get their attention!
