Ok, so its not quite "tomorrow" anymore. Its tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow. As always, better late then never?!
Giles had a little look around the WrapIt website (www.wrapit.co.uk, more info under wedding details) last night. I came upstairs and he had a sheepish look on his face. It seems he's added a £140,000 Aston Martin to our wedding list (!) and then couldn't remove it (!). If you feel like buying it for us, you're more than welcome if you throw in the insurance as well.
Not to bore you, but I just need to tell you about WrapIt. It is a really cool service. They have loads of stuff to add to our wedding list, and If they don't have it on the website they will do their best to add it. We can manage the entire thing online and if we need any help (i.e. picking out matching sets etc.) we just email Lynda (she's our wedding list lady) and she'll help us. Might need to have a word about the car...
Enough though of the advert for wedding list (buy us things...Buy us things...). There is, believe it or not, a more important thing afoot! We had the offer accepted for the house we want, but the Estate Agents are still doing viewings. So need to sort out the mortgage PDQ and keep our fingers crossed. Its definitely not the period terrace that I wanted, but its a three bed (a major accomplishment) and we can do a loft conversion. Plus its in a fantastic location so I'll never need to drive again! Yahoo! Who would have thought a girl that has been driving since she was 16 would actually be GLAD to not drive. I would much rather get on a train and be whisked to my destination than sit in traffic exchanging obscenities with the chain-smoking hag in two Ford Escorts over.
Excuse the rant... back to the house. It needs some work, but I think the price is right and we can spend the next few years doing it up. I've been told it will keep me out of trouble! Giles is very excited and can barely stand still. I think I'll need to slip something into his Vimto (for those non-Brits, Vimto is a blackcurrant flavoured drink that children - and my fiancée - drink).
Now I need to move onto the 1000's of other things I need to do today...Be glad I won't be sharing the entire list - the web server would run out of memory. Top of the list is work on the wedding website... I've changed the logo and made it more "wedding like" I'm not completely sure about it, but G really likes it. Let me know what you think. I need to add the wedding list information, and update some other pages. At the bottom of the huge list is cleaning the bathroom. Think I'll do that tomorrow (or maybe tomorrow's tomorrow?)...

It's Been AGES since last said anything..But for good reason. Did you know we are trying to buy a new house as well? We have sold ours and have no where to go! Tragedy! But we are still looking! More news tomorrow. We're looking at houses AND doing the wedding list. We Had fantastic time at Wrap It today! I think we even picked out china (which is so not like me) because its not an "everyday" thing. We might just use it once a week - so not me. But you never know what might show up on our wedding list!
Best bit is that we went to the showroom, had some wine and went out -- tell you about it all tomorrow! I promise!
Good night and sweet dreams!
