    That's so sweet, to wear your wedding tiara! Lovely :) and thanks for the planet info, I was wondering about Mars and Venus xx

  • I feel I've been allowed into very select and exalted company alongside all the tiara wearers:rotfl:



    I'm so sorry I missed the moon and planets combination this morning:(. There was thick freezing fog here first thing, visibility was very limited. I hadn't been aware that there was a celestial 'event' likely but I frequently look up to the skies anyway.

    Don't worry, CBC, it wasn't an event as such, it was just the normal morning configuration - a bit striking because it was a new moon with a frost covering the ground, the equivalent will be there tomorrow, I'm sure. I saw it about 6.45.

    Done the first bit of my bank account taradiddles - paid the cc for the card that had to be closed, there's already a late waiver fee on it, so they deserve the payment asap. Next I have to:
    - send more dosh to the new bank account, to do the monthly minimum credit.
    - send lots more back to the same savings account, to give me a reservoir to draw on for the monthly minimum credit.
    - set up standing orders or something to automate it, back and forth.




    ETA: money is all switched around for today, but I still need to set up the regular payments. Don't want to do that till the money arrives where its supposed to be.


    PS don't yet have any proof of payment from Wickes. Hmmm. I know they're okay, but thats Not Good.

    I am wearing my tiara :rotfl:
    I was slightly concerned I wouldn't remember I had it on if I went out to the bin (at the front of the house) or something, but it pushes in to my hair a bit like a slide, so I can feel it enough to remember its there :rotfl: mind you, it would give passers-by a bit of a laugh on a day as cold as today :rotfl:


    And thats exactly what happened :cool: I was just finishing off navvying, getting some big long brambles into the green bin, and a deliveryman for next door smiled at me and said hello. That doesn't happen! Ever! Except when you're wearing a plastic tiara :cool:

    That is soooo funny - but I've got to agree that if I had a tiara I'd wear it too!

    Will look for the BBT clip of Amy and post it here! :)
