    I'd better start with the goods; Good - homemade heart table scatters are going well. Good - meeting up with some friends for a dog walk/pub lunch this weekend Bad - my nan died last Sunday Bad - car is not sounding healthy Well the goods don't make up for the bads but I guess everyone has those weeks sometimes.

    Good: Finally got h2b's ring sorted

    Bad: h2b'sbeen off work ill again. Food poisoning, but serves him right for going to McD

    Good: I've sorted out our cake decorations

    Bad: having more dress wobbles. I love my dress but I'm thinking, if I'm having a 'fat' day I won't feel comfortable. Plus I do have to wear heels which I probably do less than once a year.

    Good: Finished my button bouquet

    Bad: Now I seem to have nothing to do for wedding and I'm getting very bored waiting.

    Bit of a mixed bag really
