Janey's Journey to Becoming a MFW

Yesterday we picked up my wedding ring and I love it Is it wrong that I want to wear it now?

Not at all. We picked up Mrs E's 6 months before we got married and I had to hide it! We were also paying for it 3 months after we got married, but that's another story.

We went for a plain band to avoid clashing with my engagement ring...but I've already been looking at sparkly eternity rings :whistle:

We found a lovely jeweller who made my ring himself and was much cheaper than the larger shops. It is plain and only 2mm wide but it still cost 4 times what my OHs titanium ring cost :eek: Being MSE in wedding land sometimes feels impossible :rotfl:

I wouldn't worry, Mrs E's cost 51x what my titanium ring cost :rotfl:

Right, a busy day ahead:

[STRIKE]
• walk dogs
• print wedding invitations[/STRIKE]
• start addressing envelopes
  [STRIKE]
• Ring family about wedding stuff[/STRIKE]
• make cake
  [STRIKE]
• do other things that I can't think of at the moment...[/STRIKE] Also went to @sda, did a load of washing and tidying...

Not the most successful list of all time! It's the phone calls that take up the most time!

So, a new list for today:

• General tidy up
• Wash towels
• Sort out RM survey
• Start addressing envelopes - need to use paper cutter at work to trim invitations so can't send before tomorrow anyway
• Fill charity bag for tomorrow
• Clean bedroom
• Make cake
• Walk doggies

This list is looking a little long seeing as I'm meant to be at home resting! Might need to prioritise things.

I'm feeling a bit better but was very tired by the end of yesterday and still look very pale!

I'm going to start by lighting a fire - it's brrrrr here:eek:

I'm definitely feeling better but still really tired. Not looking forward to work tomorrow :eek:

Hmmm I'm so glad this week is over at last. It's been frustrating and emotional on many levels but to cut the whining to a minimum, I'll stick with a financial moan.

1. Got short changed by £5. Shop unable to give me a refund after cashing up :mad:

2. Forgot to cancel old life insurance policy so have paid two payments this month. Can't ring them until Monday either

3. Possibly might loose remortgage deal because of reasons I can't be bothered to go into right now

Also lost a much loved pet (not mine but one I was extremely attached to).

So tired I hardly have the energy to change the channel - should feel better in the morning
