Ok. Basketball on Monday with the boy-child. Karate Tuesday afternoon as well… just after toddler and mummy swim session with bubs.

Wednesday morning the fair-daughter needs to be packed off to camp and the husband reminded to take a plate to work. Oh gee, not even Thursday and your calendar looks like a myriad of chicken-scratches and coffee-sup stains.

How the heck are you meant to remember and plan for your good friend’s wedding day?

Yes, yes you could write it on the back of your hand… But, much to your husband and co-worker’s amazement you do actually shower from time to time in order to get the muck out of your hair and gunk off your face.

An elastic band or ribbon round the finger? Hmmm…Can anyone say ‘amputee’?

So, somewhere in all this planning bizzo, some clever peeps decided to come up with the awesome idea of not only ‘save the date cards’ but, wait for it…magnetic ones! Awesome!

Just pop it on the refrigerator door (even if it’s like mine and being constantly opened and swung upon by small bodies) – the magnetic power will hold it on! Or, even better – take it to that place you know as your office AKA ‘Adult World’ and give it pride of place on your filing cabinet.

Of course, you’ll still write it in your diary, to look at about a week after the event has happened. But at least you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your save the date wedding invitation is also neatly attached to your fridge (albeit probably covered in sauce, jam or porridge).

At least you’ll know where it is!
