Yay good news Lara!

Great news Lara, its nice when things fall into place!

Hope the check-up went well Wendz. It's so close now, I'm really excited for you!

I love love love my husband, he spent the morning cleaning the spare room (which was a TIP full of suitcases and party stuff!) and now it looks fabby again. He's even sorted out the wardrobes quite a bit, he found my written 101 things list when he was cleaning and said, 'You can cross off number 44 now!' all proud of himself for helping, bless him!

Aww birdie thats so cute!
Lara I hope you're ok! good news about the DJs!
I know its unlikely but if theres anything I can do remotely even if you just want to PM me a rant then please feel free!!! I'm sure everything will work out and your wedding will be perfect

Awww thats really sweet Birdie - I especially love that he crossed it off your list! Now you just need to keep it tidy until the end of the 1001 days!

Didn't make it to see the Dubliner's last night, NIM wasn't feeling up to it.

Money going badly this month, I'm 90% sure I miscalculated and paid off £200 too much off the CC at the start of the month, as a result we've run out completely now! Very bad as we're still 14 days to payday, although NIM thinks some MS money is due. Filled the car up yesterday (£70) but already at between halfway and three quarters on the guage - using over £25 a day in fuel is scary! In fairness we did do 110 miles.

My attempts at money making are going badly too - the guy who bought the wooden blocks on ebay says they're 47 blocks short, so need to refund him a bit, and a lady at work who bought a hoover off us say the pipe is split so suction is poor, so need to refund her too. No idea where to get the money from!

Thank you Tink that's so kind More good things have happened today, I'm pleased to report. I got my visa letter, so I can go and apply for that. Plus I have got a good quote from a company in the US for the bridesmaid dresses, they seem to have wonderful reviews. These are the dresses the ladies chose. They both have red hair so the green should look really nice.

Dinah93

They're really pretty, glad you're feeling less stressed. Which company is it you're using?

Love the dresses Lara!

N.I.M

That pipe was fine when I put it in the car, shes broken it.

I'm not about to argue with a colleague over a £5 pipe tbh. I just want shot of all the clutter now - I'll list it on ebay tomorrow.

Found £20 in my handbag, feeling a bit less money stressy. Plus we got some seriously reduced Tesco Finest fresh venison pasta to have for tea tonight which I'm really looking forward to - I love fresh pasta but still haven't found the time or guts to make my own. My 101 things list is at about 120 now and lots of them are cooking related - and after the satisfaction I got from the profiterolles I'm on the look out for a list of cooking challenges so I can add some more to it. I know one of the blogs I follow has one, but I haven't found it yet.
