always take the weather with you

no reason for the post title, except that the weather can't make its mind up today. ONe minute it rains, the next its sunny. still the garden is happy.

we've had a nice relaxed, if somewhat alcoholic weekend. both evenings have been spent just catching up with friends, and the days have involved a little shopping (wedding related of course) and cleaning (the house was in a disgusting state, and still aint great - but getting better. I'm writing this to give me a quick break before I return to the duster and hoover).

we're managing to get the final bits and bobs sorted out for the wedding. Still have a few people to chase for invite replies, bought our wedding rings last weekend which was fun, and have sorted table decorations (finally!).

so, just have to get through the next 5 weeks without putting on too much weight, which, with all the travelling I am doing with work, may not be the easiest challenge. I've gone for the approach of drinking loads nad loads of water to try adn help my skin and stop the eczma which is really doing my head in on my hands. only problem is i am spending most of the day on the loo! :-)

i've lost the will to live. It's raining, I'm on the sofa and I can't move.

not good.

my first ebay sale

how exciting.... I placed a dress on ebay last week after having spoken to a few people who often put their old clothes and junk on the site. It sold at a decent price and all is good. Dont think I will manage to pay for the wedding this way but in the time of the credit cruch, every little helps....

Bridesmaid number two

 

I'm hoping there will be a serious lack of chocolate cake on my wedding day.....

 
Sally and Adam during the annual visit to the lovely cottage last weekend, the sun shone, the sheep bleated and we did a bit of moth watching. all good fun

 
Jess having a hard day at the office

so very tired

don't know why I am so tired on the basis that my life is pretty darn simple compared to many peoples. It's been another wedding-plans filled day, with shopping for lovely wedding rungs and the meeting of the bridesmaid this afternoon. i wasn't too fussed about the wedding rings, on the basis that its not as sparkly as the engagement (and , as paul pointed out, I haev to help pay for the wedding ring!). In fact it was a lot more fun taht I expected and I did end up getting a sparkly one cos the plain ones were, well, plain frankly! Paul, after a lot of hand-wringing, chose a lovely ring which really suited him, only thing being it cost a hell of a lot more money than he intended but, as i pointed out, it will be the only jewellery he ever wears and we both intend for him to wear it for the rest of his life. So compared the the ridiculous amount of money I am spending on a dress I wear only once, it's fine! (still cost nearly 3 times mine though!!!)
