Things I did this weekend...

...while M was at his stag party.

• Did 4 loads of washing and dried them on the line outside in the sunshine
• Baked the worst birthday cake I have ever seen
• Sat in a deckchair and managed to get ugly strap lines from a halter necked top whilst enjoying the gorgeous spring sunshine in the company of a family of blue-tits.
• Hosted a birthday/qualification party including supper, champagne and cake.
• Made it safely back to the parental abode despite hangover.
• Spent £5 at the Christian Aid Spring Fete, buying 4 vintage brooches {3 for presents}, a vintage ring, 8 glass tea cups, 3 dvds and a cookery book for M.
• Spent £5 in a charity shop on a fab vintage 80s dress complete with shoulder pads...
• Drank 2 cups of tea in the sunshine with an old friend from gymnastics and her husband
• Sat in another pub with an old school friend, again in the sunshine, this time on a river bank.
• Spent the evening with my Mother discussing wedding things and then looking through old family albums with my sister choosing photographs for the wedding.
• Went to church with Mum.
• Went through timings for the wedding for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Counted plates. Discussed Mother-of-the-Bride's outfit. Exhausted all energy left in relation to wedding planning.
  
• Went to tea in the countryside at my Grandparents house and greedily ate 2 scones and 2 pieces of delicious cake.
• Started making bunting for the wedding.
• Chatted with my old form teacher at school during her lunchtime, realising that it is 10 years ago this summer that I went to her wedding. She also was 27. Caught up with all the old news and school gossip.
• Went to my old work, the first firm of solicitors where I worked as a paralegal during university vacations.
  
• Train back to London and disastrous taxi journey to collect wedding dress. Only dress wasn't ready, doesn't fit and needs more altering. Began to hate dress.
• Got home, cooked supper, realised no milk. Couldn't be bothered to go and buy milk. Slept.
• Bought milk. Realised still have no job and that sitting around blogging is not going to help the situation. Blogged regardless.
• Decided had better sort out house first. And then bunting. All household tasks to be finished today. Job hunting starts in earnest tomorrow.
