new york - new york!

God I knew I was indecisive but this takes the fucking biscuit. I guess the deal with not having to make any plans in any great hurry means we have too much time to think and re think and change and re change the ideas, so cornwall is gone, adios kent, see ya laters uk, how about new york?

Found a place the Gramercy Park Hotel, NY - where I would love to get married - bet its mega bucks but look how awesome it is!

oh and also...

I read regretsy and cake wrecks almost every day because they are fucking hilarious, if you haven't seen them yet you should. When I stumbled upon cake wrecks a month or so ago I sat all evening going through every post and I literally was in tears for the whole evening. At one point I was laughing so much I fell of the sofa. I am not shitting you. I had a bruise on my leg that looked a bit like Italy.

enjoy.

I have a reader! And a Barbie...!

I have had news that someone reads my blog! I was about to give the whole bloody thing up because I don't seem to have the time but it gets read to fuck it - I'm keeping going. (just noticed I had a comment also from the fabulous brilliant  East Side Bride - it was from months ago but was nice to know I have had visitors!

Re: the wedding... We have so so so far to go before we even have to think about venues and whatever but I can't help it - I get wound up about things and I need to think this far in advance and get worked up about it or else my mind would literally melt... (or so I am led to believe) but Lighthouse in Kent? Windmill in Norfolk? Barn in Cornwall? Or a foreign land? Which one will win!

Also - check out what T let me buy on Friday - it was waaaay too much money but we decided in Northumberland to collect toys and books so it was a sensible purchase really!

its our 3 year 10 month-aversary

We always used to go out for our month-aversaries... but the last few months we've let it slide with all sorts of other crap getting in the way - and with xmas approaching we've got no hope of a retrieval... i think its nice to make an effort once a month or so to keep the spark alive, no? In other news, we got bought a car, a '99 VW Polo, she's black and called black betty and we're going to decorate her interior just as soon as we can! having wheels = new forest in autumn and dates with me & T.

excited? yes.

Its gold and has a use. I'm sold.

You know when you order some tasty goodies online and you get their newsletter/catalogue? Well I love this. Not eco friendly I know but its like shopping - at home - without spending. That's ME friendly for sure! So this week we got the firebox.com catalogue, full of geeky gadgets and crazy bits and bobs its always worth a look...found some ace stocking fillers for T (even though he would genuinely rather a stocking full of Haribo's).

I found this and wanted to share... its a iPod dj. Shaped like a cassette. A GOLD CASETTE! Whoop! We're thinking that we might get a wee band and no dj - or neither one, but we would use our iPod's or our guests and this could make it fun! I could totally rival grand master flash with this. I met him once, with 3 sisters who awesomely made friends with his 'crew' and got us on the bus! Good times.
