Nine years (and two days) after meeting the love of her life randomly in a book shop, my younger sister finally tied the knot yesterday.  It was an absolutely lovely day and one which I hope I will remember fondly for the rest of my life.  I'm not sure when the photos will be available as the happy couple will be jetting off tomorrow for a week in ( Read more... )

The population of the balcony of chez i-just-hide has increased by four.  Mum and dad took me to the garden centre this morning and I ended up spending £30.  Bertie (the box tree) now has a sunflower, a standard marguerite and two other flowering plants whose names I can't remember to keep him company.  They look quite good at the moment.  I hope ( Read more... )

By the time I actually get around to finding a wedding icon I'll have run out of weddings to go to.  Oh well, more fool me!

The wedding yesterday was lovely.  It was the hottest day of the year so far, with blazing sunshine and my shoulders are a bit pink and sore today.  Hopefully, it'll have turned into a lovely golden brown tan before my sister's ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I am travelling to St Albans to attend the wedding of a girl I shared a house with during my second year at university.  I haven't seen her for five years and I've never met her other half so it's going to be quite different to the last few weddings I've attended.  I've been invited to the wedding ceremony which starts at 1pm and the ( Read more... )

I'm almost in a state of disbelief as it's Bank Holiday weekend and the weather is lovely.  I guess I shouldn't speak too soon or else it'll tip it down tomorrow ( Read more... )

1. My sister is getting hitched on 4 July 2009.  They haven't sent out any invitations yet.  Mother spoke to her yesterday and apparantly they've written them out but have run out of envelopes so they can't send them.  The control freak in me wants to scream and panic but I'm trying to remain calm and remember that it's NOT MY WEDDING ( Read more... )

I am sooooo ridiculously tired.  I'm getting too old for this going away for the weekend malarky!

I spent the weekend in the New Forest attending the wedding of friends from university.  The bride is one of my dearest friends and she actually met me and her husband at the exact same event, the Cardiff Rag three legged pub crawl September 2000.  ( Read more... )

Today, me, mum and sis had a makeup trial for the wedding.  I was kind of half looking forward to it and half dreading it.  I'm not very good at being in close physical contact with people I don't know well but the makeup lady was really nice and put me at my ease.  Also, I watched her work on the bride first so I knew it wasn't going to be too ( Read more... )

Last week was ridiculously busy.  Why does my life always seem to turn out like that?  I do nothing for weeks and weeks and week and then everything happens at once!

Monday was the first day back after the Easter Holiday for most staff.  I had seven new starters to sort out and then an extra choir rehearsal straight after work.

Tuesday was the first ( Read more... )

I was offline for a couple of days last week while I painted my ceiling.  When I returned to cyberspace I had a message on Facebook from one of my uni housemates inviting me to her wedding on 30th May.  It was a bit of a suprise as I wasn't aware she was on Facebook!  It is also pretty short notice.  I received a text message from her last year ( Read more... )
