    Bad - Was just about to leave the house for my appointment with above-quoted shop to try said dress when i realised I must have lost my annual Metrocard yesterday, must have fallen out of my pocket and have no cash in the house. Nearest ATM is a mile away!!! Can't go to appointment! ☹️

    Good - we love our real life sample of the invitations HIB Natalie aka Inspire Me Designs did for us!!!

    Bad - my MOH has been in labour since 7 pm yesterday and only 4 cm dilated now!!! It's her first!

    *THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!*

    Good: Actually have some free time this weekend which means a lay in (or two) and not having to travel (far) for once.

    Bad: OH's cousin and his fiance will be at said Christening who are also getting married next year, which means lots of questions and comparisons between the two weddings from certain family members.

    Good: I'm telling them nothing! Will be so funny to see their reactions when my answers to everything are 'I havent decided yet' or 'its a surprise' or 'you'll have to wait and see!' mwahahahaha!

    Good: Its Friday AND its a pay day (although that doesnt mean much as its all already gone!)
