    When I got married (some 15 years ago) I bought shop ones and did calligraphy (sp?) writing in them. You can get some really nice invites not just the sheet of paper ones like the kiddies party invites. Have a look around on line. Ours were card ones that opened up and they were really pretty.

    Rach got married earlier this year and I know she did H/M cards so she would probably be the best person to tell you how long it took.

    LG shop bought ones are fine, I saw some lovely ones in M&S yesterday as it happens. Nobody pays that much attention to invites anyway, like you say, as long as they're invited they're happy.

    I've been sitting on my derrier for the last 15 minutes cause I'd finished what's on my list but didn't want to do anything else lol DD1 came round to do research on New Look app. she'd get 50% discount *cheap xmas pressies* YAY! :D

    [STRIKE]S&S kitchen [/STRIKE](after cooking's finished)

    [STRIKE]hoover stairs [/STRIKE](I de-junked them last night)

    Quick pop in, just did a dash about clean and tidy (I love flying because it was all done within an hour) as Matthew and his Mam are on their way over, DP fixing her car today. Think we need to go up to North Shields to pick some stuff up so will be a nice drive out. Catch up with you all later, hope you all have a nice day x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all

    Two loads of washing out on the line, including the throws from the living room.

    Vacuumed through downstairs, and vacuumed the stairs.

    My new cooker was delivered at 6.50 am:eek:

    Wired in now and all working. Registered the guarantee online (saves a stamp).

    Waiting for Asda shopping delivery due soon, then we will go out. Lovely day so far but supposed to be the last one so we want to make the most of it.
