To do this week:
I wish Mum would stop fretting about my social life, or lack thereof. I really am perfectly happy as I am, I don't need a man to 'complete' me. Although apparently grandma has been making loud noises about Parvati and I getting 'old' (she's one to talk!) and neither of us engaged yet. You'd think she would realise that this isn't India and we're Brits really, so the 'over the hill at 25' rule doesn't apply. I suppose all in all I wouldn't mind an arranged marriage, I mean, as long as I had the right to refuse the bloke they pick then it's not too different from some sort of dating service. But I'm not marrying at 22! I still want to get back out in the field for another year or two. Maybe if I make noises about seriously looking in a year? Give her time to build up a little portfolio or something, perhaps that will hold her off for a while.
- Buy food (need to stock up on tea!)
- Post grandmother's birthday present (Parvati, you should get something too)
- Buy those charming boots I saw yesterday
- Pick up files from work
- Edit training manual (note: need to talk to Spencer about the wording on page 56)
- Write letter to parents
- Consider trying that Pilates thing
- Get a wedding present for Ron and Hermione
- Find an outfit to wear for the wedding
