    Gosh - happy listing! Nothing you could re-use the fabric from, or would you rather have the money?

    Wow, I thought I had a lot of clothes! It's very sensible to think that as a lot they'll pay for something at the wedding rather than thinking 'This one cost me £50 alone!' and not wanting to sell it!

    Nope, definately rather have the money. I'm having to stop myself making anything else simple now, as I don't need it, but my veil material did finally arrive this morning, so I can start that, and after I might start something in a delicate material that will take a long time to sew!

    Added another 5 things to the pile this morning. My mum is insistant our house is going to be cluttered, and I'm determined to prove her wrong!

    I accidentally put a kiss on the end of an email to the nice man with the window on ebay, I think he's mocking me now :( Tell you what though if he hadn't been so nice I wouldn't have posted it to him at a loss!

    Have a MS meal after sewing tonight, which is good, but rubbish too as my glands are up, I feel achy, and generally like I've been trampled by a herd of cattle.

    Like many I decided against applying to AQA again. I've just started to get a more healthy balance, and I intend to start matched betting, I don't want something else to feel guilty about not doing.

    Well.... have a hot drink in bed and do some reading, that's still on your list so it's still something you 'should' be doing! Is 'The Girls' the one about the conjoined twins?

    I can't really remember the ins and outs as I read it a few years ago when it first came out but I know that I enjoyed it! Some interesting little twists :)

    I feel so spendy today, like an itch I can't scratch. I have looked at the John Lewis website about a thousand times, and I don't even like John Lewis! I really want some good knives for the kitchen, and a little table and chairs for outside (and the rest, LOL).

    I think it's because I got some expenses back from the Uganda trip. I opened an ISA and put it safely in there for our wedding. But it was really depressing. Perhaps it's because our wedding is not planned at all and it just feels so abstract.

    My OH is also being a bit weird about money as a few jobs have fallen through recently (he is self employed). I have a little pot for his birthday and wanted to get him some treats, but I have caught him working without his glasses a few times over the last few weeks. His glasses are so scratched he can't really see through them anymore! I think he must have cleaned them with brillo pads or something. We have money put aside - why isn't he using it? I am going to end up getting him glasses for his birthday!

    Ahh sorry for the rant everyone! Dinah the crystals totally slipped my mind, I will check them this weekend (so sorry).
