Sisterhood Shindig – Day Four
Well aloha, all you healthy-eating, paperback-reading, well-rested beauties! I see that Mr Corby has been taking wonderful care of you.
Anyway, now I’m enjoying an absolutely delectable cup of Earl Grey tea. Have you checked out the breakfast buffet this morning? Mr Corby has outdone himself.

He’s really trying hard for us, isn’t he? And the way he insists on refilling our coffees and washing the dishes alone. One of you single ladies needs to get onto that NOW.
So as we passed each other in the bathroom this morning, Rach asked me to explain the Shindig agenda for today. I assumed she had some super important blogging business to do, but truth be known she’s getting a massage. When I checked in on her, she’d just wound the clock back an hour and a long line of drool was extending down through the hole in the massage table to the floor. I thought it best to just close the door and leave her to it. (PS: Have you guys SEEN the masseuse here?)
I’ll give you all a minute to go book in for this afternoon.

OK! So the program for today is thus:
The Royal Society For The Proliferation Of Guilt-Free Online Shopping (I know, I had NO IDEA this organisation existed either) are apparently huge fans of this little tent of ours. Weird, right? Anyway, they have selected us to trial a new kind of shopping event they want to promote: a “social online shopping expedition”. We have been given a very, very large (read: MEGA) sum of money*…which you are all obliged to spend. Most of the events in this Shindig operate on a very casual, “join in if you want to” basis. Not this one, I’m afraid. This one is mandatory, you guys. You all must spend AT LEAST $1,000 of someone else’s money on yourself and those you love. OK? Shh, I don’t want to hear any more complaining.
So we’re going to move down to the spa area now, sit on those über comfy lounges with our laptops, and get pedicures whilst guilt-free online shopping till every single heart in this room is content.
