As she didn't update her minions on Twitter, I'm assuming Elsie's outfit didn't arrive in time. At least she didn't blame Ioan for her tardiness, not yet anyway. I wonder if Elsie got to go trick or treating? I know my grand-daughter worn her outfit 3 times for various events. It was made up from items from her Mum's thrifting habits (the ones you learn as a single parent with no child support) and my over indulgence (Nana's are allowed) for just the right boots! It's not that hard to put together an outfit. One of my most successful efforts when my kids were young was made from black sacks for the trash, plus a cardboard witches hat. Another year, I used old net curtains to make a fairy outfit.
As to the BW/IG relationship, it's pointless working out if it will succeed. I have a longtime friend who left his disabled wife for another woman. What we didn't know is that their marriage had been struggling for while and the move from Scotland to the US was a last ditch effort to save the marriage. Turned out the other woman had an even more debilitating illness ( life threatening) than his ex-wife's disability which had been caused by a stroke during an operation.He has been with hi 'new' partner for nearly 20 yrs now and they have been through some harrowing times, especially the last couple of years. She and his ex-wife aren't exactly buddies but they get together for the major holidays and life events with his 3 childrenfrom his marriage, plus his stepdaughter.
