Metamorphosis almost complete

It's still wriggling after starting to change nearly thirty six hours ago, but the change from caterpillar to chrysalis is almost complete.  It certainly isn't for the feint-hearted.  Sorry Charlotte.

I asked friends how much money we should take on holiday in January and was told "whatever you think you need, then double it."  I didn't think I was THAT tight-fisted.  Mind you I did venture over to John Lewis first thing this morning to take back an expensive jacket I didn't need.
