Strumming my fingers on the keyboard, I wracked my sleep deprived brain for FYBF fodder.
It crossed my mind to write how more than coincidental it was that the Queen and I happened to simultaneously suffer from gastro this week.
No doubt, HRM Lizzy had an entourage accompanying to a 5 star private hospital room.
Meanwhile, curled up in pain on a crusty poo smelling, vomit stained couch 2 rug rats were relentlessly climbing over my comatose body
Then, there was Duchess of Cambridge’s slipping up and spilling the sex of the royal munchkin. Yes, folks… the cat’s out of the Kensington Castle!
WillKat are apparently having a girl!
But really, where’s the relevance in British Royalty tabloid, anyway?
DPCON13 is going to be our own extravaganza bloggy royalty event, yes?
For 2 days there’s going to be a great line up of speakers, inspiring workshop sessions, plenty of networking and most importantly, catching up with those who count most.
Not forgetting to mention CARE Australia’s Walk In Her Shoes Challenge that some of us are taking part in the day before.
Hope to see you there! Tiaras, pearls and all!

Yay! Looking forward to feeling a bit regal and catching up with lots of fabulous peeps! And yes looking stunning Princess Grace!
Loooking gorgeous. Unfortortunately no DPCon for me, DH off to the sevens in hk.. Did I really give him a leave pass?
Oh poo…..sorry to hear that, darling! Gastro sucks balls.
Imagine how thin you’ll look at DPCon though 😉
I’d so love to go but I couldn’t wangle two full days off……..next year I won’t be breast-feeding and I will be there with my tiara in full sparkle.
Feel better. Rest if you can…….yeah right. xxx

Hello darling! I so want to sit down with you and talk blogging. But I bet that we will be having all sorts of short natters at DPCon, very much looking forward to that. But lets have a sit down after it too, I’d really love too.
Hope you and the kids and hubs have a top weekend. The cat did a wee on my bed last night, but that’s not so bad as the chucks. Yuck. Must remember to change the sheets!!

Hope you’re feeling better soon. D has had an upset stomach for the whole week after the initial gastro episode last Sunday, I hope it isn’t like that for you. Have fun at DPCON13, a combination of workload and my birthday means I can’t go this year but I do so hate missing out!

Grace, how horrid is the gastro bug? So sorry for all of you! On a happier note, I do love the way you rock a tiara! Princess Grace has a familiar ring to it somehow… 😉

Sadly I will not be at the blog conference this year (sobbing into my tea) because of my Cheer Chick Charlie commitments. I had such a blast last year!! Well, winning the Disney trip and all was the icing on an already sweet cake ….
You do look very regal and royal. Royalty suits you …
I sure hope to make it next year!

Oh I didn’t know it was a royal occasion, I mean I knew it was pretty darn exciting. In fact exciting doesn’t even begin to explain it

Oh no Grace, I can just imagine it too, you poor thing. At least you will have plenty of time to recover for DPCON. The poor Queen too! I bet Gastro really knocks you around at that age.

You poor chook – gastro sucks – especially when there’s not a lady-in-waiting to hold the bucket. Hope you’ve bounced back well and although I’m as nervous as all get out about DPCON, I’ll see you there! x

You look so cute in your pearls Grace. Can’t wait to hear all about the conference on your blog.
