Pay off mortgage and start having even more fun 😁

Only five days left until wedding one now, I spent the day cleaning the house and garden (hosing the patio really 😆) and I’ve made a ‘wedding wreath’ for the front door and have white bunting round the garden, as well. The bride and bridesmaids - five plus one toddler flower girl! Are getting ready here bar putting the dresses on, then leaving at lunchtime where the groom and all his entourage return to get ready, so I thought it’s nice to make it look weddingy 😬

After being offered by ds2 to host a mother’s day bbq which I declined due to it being effort 😂  I’ve ordered pizzas and ice lollies from the frozen food shop which are can go delivered today, if it’s hot we can sit out if not it’s a movie indoors 🙂 popping round to see mum this morning, and other than that only wedding gift wrapping to do as well as steaming all the bridesmaids dresses and cleaning my jewellery, a nice lazy day! 

The one big thing I’ve been avoiding is sorting the finances, it needs to be tweaked due to the new energy costs, I shall stop avoiding it today! 

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums of children and fur babies 🙂

Where is the time going? only two more sleeps to the wedding now 😱 everything is done how except cleaning the car (again) as we keep getting a weird sand wash over it and working out how to get ribbon on it, plus getting acrylic nails done - for the first time in many years, woohoo! Also decorating the sweet cart and lots more house cleaning. Need to pack an overnight bag as we are now staying at the venue as rooms became available last minute and ds2 asked us even we are a ten minute drive away I couldn’t say no 😆 

Finances have been looked at and due to the wedding(s) we have overspent, I budgeted £1k for outfits and small gifts to give with the money we are giving them. However even though I underspent hugely on my dresses for both weddings all the other odds and ends added up, shoes, bags, hats new suit for dh etc. plus I’ve also overspent on buying myself some swimwear since I got the hot tub fixed using my birthday money, along with a few ready meals as I’ve been chaotic lately 😁

Anyway it looks like end result will be a shortfall of around the same amount that I made as an extra overpayment last month (£550 on top of the usual £800 op) which was a surplus for switching from a cash budget for living expenses back to using the cc. So it’s not the end of the world but I’m annoyed I’ve gone over.

Have a fabulous time NG, I hope it all goes well! 

The Saharan sand is really annoying, isn't it? I wish it would stop blowing this way! My evening class teacher was away skiing in Austria this week and she said the snow was red/brown from it - not the piste but to either side. Very weird!

Thanks everyone, we seem pretty organised phew! Woke up to snow this morning ❄️😆 hope the heating is up at the venue! We had a last minute guest last night of the brides Nan who wanted to stay over the night before, so a quick last minute change the wedding room around and make space for her. So seven here last night without dd and partner 😂

 Best friend came and made buttonholes as my fake nails proved a hindrance 😁 and we have a shift of six bridesmaids first thing followed by all the groomsmen and extra odd family men at a loose end who are coming later between trips to the cafe and the pub which is opening early for them 😆 I really feel like I’m in an episode of Gavin and Stacey at the moment.
