Once again the ups and downs abound. Wedding related planning seems to be ambling along at a steady pace, and one that I'm very comfortable with. No rush, no panic, just slowly but surely things are happening ( Read more... )

Honeymoon is booked. The place we were looking at only had 1 room left so we bit the bullet and grabbed it.

So if everything else goes tits up we still have an awesome holiday to look forward to.

I'm now waiting for massive political upheaval or natural disasters to hit.

Peaks and troughs again. This seems to be a recurring theme. However, lately there's been more peaks and less troughs ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was in work precisely long enough to drink a cup of tea and fill in a holiday form. There was no work, and rather than hanging around being forced to do all the crappy work that no one else wants to do and gets shoved the back of the in tray I elected to hoist the fuck this shit banner and go home ( Read more... )

Less than a week after discovering our venue had shut down, we found have a new venue, visited it, provisionally booked it, and have now wrangled registrars and confirmed the date for only a week after where we had it previously.

Yesterday was mostly a day of success. Lie in, followed by possibly the quickest dungeon write ever and then off to Bury for an appointment with the registrar to check that we weren't a) related, b) already married, c) doing it for a green card, d) doing anything else illegal. Money paid, and now we have confirmation from the registrar that we will ( Read more... )

Oh dear Gods, my guts. Have just been round to the in-laws for Sunday lunch and, as usual, ate and drank far too much. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) when I get together with Vic cocktails generally happen from raiding Andrew & Sue's generously stocked drinks cabinet. Today was Moscow Mule day. Mmmm ( Read more... )

After the progressively deeper mire of crap, last week came as a welcome relief. There was much wandering around festive markets and quality time with Adam. Bought a few Christmas presents and general festive times were had in the freezing cold ( Read more... )
