    Oh well thats good... well not 'good' because it's still a heart-stopping amount to me but better! :)

    Is one honeymoon included in the wedding budget or on top of it?

    Lol shall I stop with the freebies of the day?!

    Nooo, don't stop! I love peas! :D

    I think two honeymoons sounds perfect! I get the feeling that wedding planning really takes it out of you so relaxing in the Maldives for a fortnight with your brand new hubby would reinvigorate you somewhat!

    Sorry to hear you're a bit fed up Birdie - how's about finding a DOTD to cheer yourself up? I like the idea of customising your own with native beads - lovely!

    We had an Arabian tent for an event at the short story festival and I'm quite in love with them now - http://arabiantents.com - I love the Alice in Wonderland one!

    Dinah, what house news? The viewing in daylight was good...?

    I'm loving the fact almost all the Ladies on here are getting married, means I can have all the wedding talk and dresses without the guilt of OH catching me looking at Wedding Dress websites :D

    Same here! I was looking at those Sandals wedding holiday type things the other day and OH was like 'what you wasting your time looking at that for?!' :p

    What's speed-clicking on Dooyoo?

    Dinah I'd have thought the Church part would be the easiest bit to organise! Sounds like it's a bit of a nightmare. Honeymoon plans sound incredible though!

    Birdie I know how you feel about all your stuff. Is there no way you and your OH could just take a day off and tackle it together? My OH kindly tidied my room the other cuz I was feeling really overwhelmed by the mess and my uni work etc.

    My back is killing me :( and I've gotta sit here and do uni work for a presentation I've gotta do tomorrow so I'm sure that won't help. But I'm seeing Ed Byrne tonight so that should be good! :)

    Yep, in the water villa hut thing, perfect.

    It was great, we're hoping for a second viewing this weekend, then comes the fun bargaining part...

    Clicking reviews too quickly in succession to have been able to realistically read all of them.

    It really is a nightmare, but I'm hopefully about the village church. Plus its beautiful.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    I wish! We just fall out because I like to go through everything and throw out rubbish, OH likes to just dump it in a box and forget about it which is what's driving me mad! As long as the place looks tidy at first glance he's happy but I like to know that it's organised which he's not bothered about! Easier to do it on my own!

    I love those Arabian tents Poddle! For some reason I get the impression they're not cheap though! ;)

    Have had a busy morning back at work. Took me about an hour to read my e-mails but got a £15 Amazon voucher fromt he company for my birthday so am adding that to the xmas pressie fund.

    Can't believe about the church Dinah. Religion does annoy me at times but I know not all churches are like that.

    Birdie - hope you manage to sort things out soon. I have been off work all week but at my parents most of it so the flat is in a bit of a state.
  • Ugh, I'm at that awful mid-point of sorting through my drawers where everything's just scattered all over the floor ... my tea break may be a mistake or it may give me renewed vim and vigour, it remains to be seen.
