    Hmm lets's start with the bad

    car = fecked, dunno what is wrong with it, have certainly not budgeted car problems into this month's payday!

    work = Pants as usual, fed up with it (but good that in a few weeks time I shall have 3 weeks break from it)

    And the good ...

    My mum has managed to borrow her works 7 seater, therefore no need to book additional transport for my hen night next week

    Took my wedding shoes back to BHS, they had a discount price on the bottom, I had paid full price - now discounted even further and my shoes have cost me a bargainous £7.50!!!

    My Auntie has made the sugar roses for my cake, and after me fannying around for ages trying to find where I could get the perfect cake stand, she has hunted one down round the corner from her and shall be putting my cake together

    Have a good weekend everyone x
