life after wedding

The Best Day,

All the build up and worry, stitching, unstitching, fittings, revamps, add ons and everything else was worth it for the most wonderful day, the sort you want to do again!

What a wonderful day! Everything went beautifully, even the rain stopped for the photo's. This was just a quick one after the ceremony had taken place!
The speeches were witty and not too long, a few shocks like my bridesmaid daughter telling about her sister being covered in puke and having to be cleaned up by her partner, ending with "did the alarm bells not ring then". And The other bridesmaid telling about her cousin's ingenuity at photo copying driving licences to get into night clubs (they didn't succeed) to the mother's horror!But there were far more beautiful and lovely things said about them both. No brides could have looked more radiant and in love.
And here they stand just after the registrar had finished the service, I didn't take many photos but I expect there will be many more on facebook and the official ones so I'll keep you posted. I heard you all groan!
I found out there is life after wedding, I don't know where the time has gone. I've been trying to de-clutter by giving away a wardrobe and chest of draws! I still have little piles of 'don't know what to do with things'. I really have tried to throw things out but I am good at hiding, squeezing and covering over all sorts of things. Plus it doesn't help when you have a big house with lots of rooms, so I usually end up moving things around from place to place!!

Jo and Nayera, may you have all you need and desire, Along and happy life together, with love from Me

lists

To stop me from panicking, I was advised to do a list. So I did a list, trying to put things that needed doing on allocated days leading up to people arriving and even a chart to show where people would be sleeping. The last part was easier than I thought, Mind you, they haven't arrived yet or been shown to their allocated rooms!
Well---- the first thing got done, then I seemed to miss Tuesday out completely apart from one small thing. The 2nd item for Tuesday I have done today. And the first thing for tomorrow, I started today.
Confused? Well so am I!
I'm not panicking, else I wouldn't be sitting here writing this drivel.
Will there be a life after wedding?
I hope so, we shall see.
It's getting late so goodnight, sweet dreams (oh that would be nice, just to sleep)
May our God bless you.

Thought you might like these two turtle doves, they remind me of--let's see----wedding!
Ahhhhhhhhg.

Closer

The Wedding is now only a few days away! It has been so hectic with sewing and all that. Shopping for Fascinators to match shoes, handbag, wondering if I made the right choice in colours. Hair redone (not sure about that either!) Ah well, it will be too late to change anything soon. A bit like Christmas, I love it when the shops finally close because then you can't do anything about things forgotten or thought you had in the cupboard only to find they aren't there!
Hope we haven't forgotten anything. Poor Jo and Nayera have got to remember to bring everything here except for dresses and hair bits
and pieces. They have to bring cup cake cases, wedding cake, decorations and one hundred other things!
The sewing room has to disappear to make room for a bedroom once again as people (mostly family) are coming to stay. It's getting exciting, I can tell you. Can't sleep at night, can't get up in the morning. I'm sure you've all been there at some time or another.
I'll bore you all to death, silly people who may look at my blog, with wedding photos.
See you all soon my best beloveds!!!!

Wedding Cake trial

Well i've just made the scrummiest cakes ever in the run up to the wedding. I had to try out my oven which is not the most helpful of ovens either over or under cooking, not very practical. Any way, they have turned out yummy, yummy, yummy ( I've got a big fat tummy).
I only hope that I haven't peeked too early. They are lemon cakes with a frosted lemon topping, I had to take a quick photo before they vanished before my eyes.

Everything is on schedule, dress fit (not mine cause it's not finished) except for some minor details. Only 2and a bit weeks left.
Rings made and picked up after a previous disaster!
Can't wait now for 9th August.
Just house cleaning and beds and rooms to sort out for who ever is coming!
It's getting exciting!!

Work

Yeah, I've got a job!
Went for an interview yesterday that turned out not to be an interview. There were 4 of us there at the school I went to. The Actual job description had changed so we were all showed around the school and then told what vacancies need to be filled and was there anything anybody liked. We were told that 40 applicants had applied and she had whittled it down to us 4!
I liked the challenge of one of the children who needed 1 to 1 support, and I got it!!!!!
I went today to meet the child in question and talk to the teachers who knew him and it was all so exciting, so I just wait now until September.
I shall be so scared but it is exciting.
We are having a Chinese take-a-way tonight thanks to my eldest and her partner who are coming for another 'final fitting'. Yes, this had better be the final final final fitting. Let you know how it goes. Can't wait to have some photos to show you, it will be here soon, Aug 9th. Whoopee, I'm excited about that too!!!!!!!

Friends

Poor Marlene is so fed up waiting for her new friend. She will be here soon, I'm sure. We'll have to have a naming day and maybe, even let Marlene choose the name for "The New One". It might be a bit risky 'cause I never know what Marlene will do. Well just look at her, She's so naggy. I've been so busy, like finishing of solitaire games, well you do have to finish them and then see what comes up next, don't you?
Ah well , we will have to see.

Car Boot

Thanks to Nayera and Jo, (Nayera and Jo on Hen Do) I have at last managed to do 2, not 1, but 2 carboots! We haven't made a huge amount but have cleared quite a few books out. The house doesn't look any different, infact, the 'games room' has things littering the floor to be either cleaned, packed or put back from whence they came!
Went to a return to work 'thing' from the job centre today, lovely people but not really very helpful.I couldn't remember most of what they had said by the time I got home to tell hubby. The best was I had a telephone call from a school job I've applied for, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
