Here I am again, can't remember what I've done recently. There seems to be a lot to do though, and not enough time to do it all. *sigh*

We did manage to finish our wedding gift list, and the information packs are heading out to people who said they'd come. The gift list is here, and the reference number is 7316. It's a cool website, that, but I bet hardly anyone uses it! Our tiny flat will probably get full up of horrible things that weren't on the list. ;)

The bad thing is that Argos just updated their catalogue so some of the numbers are going to be wrong. Hopefully not all of them. They probably won't even be selling all the things we want anymore! Boo!

It's going to be a busy month or so. Next Saturday (7th) it's the Ushers Convention (so called to try and make Mark come. The week after it's my birthday, so I might go home and see the old parental units, and odd brother. Week after that's my hen party weekend thing. And then it's panic weekend. And then the wedding! Scary.

Hmm, birthday wishlists... www.amazon.fr, www.amazon.co.uk...

I went home last weekend and we sorted out quite a few bits and bobs. We sorted out hiring clothes for the ushers, and had a flower discussion. And Ali looked round the museum to formulate ideas for the treasure hunt.

Anyway, I'd best do and check the rest of the stuff on the wedding list. Aargh!

Thought I'd just point out that this Star Trek flat is now on sale, and it's not a bad price really. Property in the UK *is* scarily expensive, after all. And $1,000,000 is approximately £535,303.25, according to eBay. :)

Oh, and every time I see an advert on a bus shelter for Fruit Spring Apple and Lime flavour, I read it as Apple Slime. I mean, APPLE&LIME looks like Apple Slime, right? Right? Well, it does from the angle in the adverts. Honest. And I'd buy a drink called Apple Slime. Sounds much more exciting than Apple & Lime. ;)

Bye!

Ah, now edit HTML works, maybe now I can type things without Blogger doing clever stuff that makes everything stop working. ;)

Just thought I'd inform people that I have two wishlists (I wanted some stuff you can only get in France):

Amazon.fr
Amazon.co.uk

If you want to buy things but not from Amazon, tell Ali and she can take the stuff off. I'm assuming that some people might want to get me presents, of course. :)

Best be off then, Mark's here and I'm being unsociable. We'll have to get this Kevin Sorbo nonsense out of his system.

I think Ali and Mark might be wrestling. Odd. But not rare. ;)

Blogger hates me. They've changed a bunch of stuff here since my last post and it's not working properly. Not for me, anyway. I don't want it to be all clever and allow just anyone to post, I want to be able to do everything in plain text and format it myself using HTML! Honestly...

I was kind of in a mood to post a while ago, but since becoming annoyed with Blogger and having to delete a totally non-working post it wouldn't let me edit, I'm in less of a blogging mood. Drat. It has a little 'edit HTML' link up there, but does it do anything when I click on it? No, it does not. Boo hoo!

Daisy told me to blog, see. I think that link it what caused Blogger the most confusion last time round, because it's adding additional HTML to make my link work and thus rendering it... not working.

Anyway, when did I last blog? 28th June. That's over two weeks ago. How awful! I can't really think what I've done. I've been working a fair bit, and trying to sort out wedding things. My brother John came to stay for a bit and we built him a new PC. I ordered all the bits and he did most of the building. It all works, which is good! It has an evil looking case with orange eyes that flash when the hard drive's accessing. John called it Cyril the Cyborg. (Yes, Cyril's a really scary name.)

My Mum came up on Wednesday so that we could all go to pick up the wedding clothes. Rob, Mum and I went up to Yorkshire and we both tried on our clothes, and they fitted! He hasn't seen my dress, because obviously that'd be bad. :)

Hmm, I can't think of much else to say, although TBH I'm just getting so annoyed with Blogger automatically formatting my text and making links all unworkable (among other things) that I'm going to give up. *sniff*
