Considering that it is customary for the bride to be late, it sounds like you are the best man for the job!

I was over half an hour late. Didn't even look at the clock but time was flying. It was only when our photographer packed us girls out the door that I went, or I'd have been there even longer.

I got annoyed my transport was delayed, everyone kept telling me it was traditional for a bride to be late and I kept getting stressed because I detest being late.

In the end, dad got someone to go around the corner where they were waiting to tell them to pick me up....I was still 10 minutes late walking into the church because we had to have the traditional arriving at the church photos, I was not a happy chicken.

I had actually planned my day with military precision, so there was no running over on time for things as I had built in 'things going wrong' time....I'd even arranged it so that there would be clear time at the end as a double insurance 'things going wrong' time.

The timings thing was the only thing I went bridezilla over, I didn't worry about anything else, just that everything ran on time.

Had a nice sunny afternoon after the morning frost. No rain today! Just been sitting on the porch for a quiet cig and listen to the evening birdsong. Pretty sky.

No frost today but plenty of rain until mid afternoon!

Needless to say we got rain just after I said we didn't get rain today! :rotfl:

Forgot to say earlier that the window cleaner came - it must be hard for him to find a time when the windows are dry and need washing! Though was glad to see him as a probably seagull had pooped all down our front door and even the rain with wind behind it we've had didn't take it all off after about 3 weeks! :eek: So at least we have a clean front door now! OK we shoulda done it ourselves, but too much else going on at the mo, not helped by OH having a nasty cold for ages and various complications over the last few days.

Have many NPs had a bad cold for ages? I seem to have got a second one after trying to get over one last month. Don't think I even got a day off from it.:mad:

I've been ok but youngest spent all of November and December (particularly bad in the run up to and over Christmas) and the first week or so of January with a cold, was well for about 2 weeks and then came down with another one last Wednesday.

James came down with a cold within a few days of starting uni and he finally got rid of the hacking cough a couple of weeks or so ago.

Next time try a wet wipe and give it a good rub. If you do it within a day or so it's surprising just how easily a cheapo wet wipe lifts bird poop off my car; I used to live at the seaside, so've had lots of gull poop on it.

I had a bad cold all last week, only just got over it. I know quite a few people who've been ill recently too!

I have been cold free so far this winter:) After a number of years of having had quite rough winters due to respiratory problems you have made me think about how lucky I am.

DD whilst DD was off work for one reason, she also had an awful cold, which OH then got. The virus did not hang around though and I remained cold free.

Zag...If I get anything now...I will blame you for making me feel smug and bringing it upon myself.
