LB's do and other events

I can't come to LB's housewarming :( We've got a Youth/Children's workers retreat day from like 10 til 4:30 and then from 8 til 9am the following morning it's a Youth group social.

I would come in the gap but I don't think it's the worth the petrol - I would get there at like 5:30/6ish and would need to leave at 7 if not slightly before.

If Shopaholic is who i think it is then I haven't been invited - or at least I haven't been invited yet.

I have to pretend to work now but I will be back later :)
