So instead I plumped for going as my mum on her honeymoon - the pictures bear witness to costume accuracy. Trouble is, I had to run up a mini out of an old pair of curtains due to lack of time or forthought. Don't think anyone noticed, though. A screwdriver set. A really good one, but something I can carry around with me.
Every girl needs a screwdriver.
See, I have a scredriver set, but it's very old and the handles are about to crack off. For years I've carried it around with me, in my handbag, backpack, whatever just in case - and you'd be surprised when they can come in handy. The thing is, I just can't resist a fixing challenge. Once he'd autopsied the innards and become bored, he would leave it. I've fixed jeeps on the Altiplano, blinds in Sevilla and kitchen cupboards in the Outer Hebrides.
