hi all

mum2one- that's a good price for buffet. friends from Wales come up , they're off today and she wants me to organise her sons 18th. it's in Wales but we going through what to get , where and everything. I only know places up here so I'm getting it all and taking it 200 mile and then we're setting up down there. and it seems so much hassle. which reminds me has anyone got any vista emails ;-). need some invites. banners etc

everyone must be busy for Easter , I'm packing off my guests today. they're giving DD a lift home so that's one less to sort. then we have another lot coming tomorrow. so I'll do what I have to do for them coming tomorrow and then I'm sitting down the rest of the day . I crackered already !!

I have had to have a change around with the thing I ordered for OH's birthday already lol. I might as well put what it was I ordered as it doesn't really matter now if he sees it. I was going to buy him a blu ray player but then saw a better one so saved up for that instead, then saw it didnt have a good write up so decided to look at the PS3's as they do Blurays and games.

I had an email from Amazon now saying they are getting them in earlier than August (when its OH's birthday) and they will be dispatching this weekend after all. I thought it would be no good to keep it laying about on top of the wardrobe right round till August in case it doesnt work or something and I expect the warranty will only be from when I bought it so I have decided that when it comes I am going to say its a present between us. Its my birthday tomorrow so will be a late present for me and an early one for him. I will still wrap it up and put a tag to both of us lol.

I have seen something else he wants for his birthday, a contraption for converting his cassette tapes to mp3 which you plug into the computer and its only about £15 and I have enough vouchers to pay for that left over after paying for the PS3 so I will get him one of them and probably some blu ray films to watch.

I have got some cheese and onion rolls in the oven cooking, I have already cooked a pizza to take with us tomorrow. We are going to my Dad's for lunch and my brother and sisters will all be there. We are going up to pick one of them up this afternoon when OH has had a sleep as he worked all night. Looking forward to it.

Its not till Jan next yr, apparently when they got married in Jan 1963 it was the coldest winter on history, sounds planning early, just wanted to get them a church, they did have a church ceremony, but now ones that accesible for her, and gives me chance to budget etc...
