Big Boys Need Love Too!

3 Glasses per bottle for a standard champagne flute abz. That;s provided they are talking 75 CL bottles, champagne tends to come in larger bottles.
 
thanks jim. they say i'll need about 12 bottles for 75 people :)

my bridesmaid is currently googling cake toppers for me after we decided to spend £20 on a two tier asda fruit wedding cake, saving me approximately £180, it may taste awful, it may not. i am past caring. ha. am guessing on the not though. may get a small one to try before buying :)
 
Supermarket cakes are usually fine and there is the reality that people only have a tiny slice. Although the cake is iconic it's flavour is a matter of taste and everyone has different taste so I shouldn't worry. You can make it your own with your own bits and pieces.

Some years ago when my eldest daughter got married I bought a 3 tier cake with basic decoration and put my own bits on it - I used the theme of wild flowers and as she was horsey I propped a real horseshoe up in front on a stand, also with wild flowers on it to match the cake (The wild flowers were silk with poppies and ivy trailing down the layers). It was quite special x
 
precisely gem. i was going to get marky sparkys just because i know the cake is lovely. however they don't do them plain enough and now i know i can get one for £15, sod the £200 pricetag!!
 
I'm here just doing all the end of week routines abz.
 
i want to go home... i'm so tired. i can't believe that it's only half past three.

i managed to get some of my code working so that's something at least i suppose.

am totally knackered though. this stressing all day has really taken it out of me. all i want to do is go home and collapse. or go to the cinema. but not sure i can justify the cost!!

There really is no need to spend loads of money for a wedding Abz. A shop bought cake is fine and if you are any good at icing you can get a plain one and decorate it yourself! Don't worry about the tast, as long as it's edible no one will really notice if it's not the best although the shop ones are perfectly fine.
 
Good morning everyone :)

How is everyone this morning. We have a dry start south of cyberspace so I'm hoping it will stay that way. Come on Mr Sun, give us a smile :character00238:
 
Good Morning, It's sunny but very windy here.
 
They've forecast rain here later today abz.
 
It's very dull at the moment here - could be rain on the way - sky is very grey x
 
Started rainy here today so didn't get my run this morning but it got better as the day went on. Tomorrow is looking better I think. x
 
We've had such hard rain today. Poor old Bugsy went through a puddle and the water washed up all over her. For a moment visibility had gone, then the wipers cleared the windscreen and all was well. I was just coming up to traffic lights so wasn't going very fast so it must've been one heck of a dip in the road for a puddle like that x
 
morning all...well i have been up since 6:30 with LU and had only gone to sleep from feeding the baby at 5:45am so i am tired. I mean don't get me wrong I did get some sleep from 2:15- 4am but then the baby was sleeping lightly and waking every 10-15 minutes so I thought he would need his feed but he held out and I got him up at 5:15am since I thought my LU might get up at 7am and I wanted to get at least 1 hour sleep before he woke. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired. You know I don't mind the lack of sleep but it is like chinese water tourture with the sleep. the baby had his late night feed at 10:15pm-11am and I thought I would get at least 2 straight hours but he decided he wanted a dummy last night and then as soon as he fell asleep he spat it out and then woke himself up again crying for it. AHHHHHHHH every 5-15 minutes for over 2 hours!!! so every time I was on the verge of falling a sleep I had to get it for him again!!!!! I cant wait for him ti discover his hand and thumb so I can get a bit more peace. hahaha And to top it off my LU has brought us all a cold from school, so I feel crappy the baby has congestion and it now has moved to his chest and OH has it too, so off to the docs today. Just to be sure. But it isn't all bad, my MIL has been helpful for a change and picking up LU from school on friday and keeping him over the weekend so she can see him and I get to just deal with the one baby and sleep more. OH ...well I am not too sure what is going on with him, something is up just nto too sure what it is yet. He works from home as you all know and says I have only to ask him if i want help with the boys, but when I do ask I get comments like " I need to work" or "he does it and then late whines that he gets nothing done, so i cant win either way. So I guess I will just end running myself into the ground before he feels guilty enough to do some thing more to help me. But If I am honest I knew he would be like this...he was witht he first. All good intentions but no action. Which is one reason why I am thinking a third baby may not be the best thing in the world, even more work for me. But then its my job, I am the house wife. And I do the cleaning, and fetching and LU stuff and baby stuff and all other aspects a part from the evening cooking which he is doing. OH well its not like I didn't know he would be like this, just thought he would be more helpful. Thing that gets me though is I leave him alone to work and then he just doesn't bother working and when he does for the 1 or 2 hours and I ask him to watch the baby or feed him whilst I talk LU to school for 25 mins it is like I am asking too much sometimes...

Oh well just wanted to sound off....


So you got a new car eh gem? Yeah they have loads of head room from what I can tell. They are cute cars.

abZ when exactly are you getting married, I know I should know this by now, but I am daily brain fry and seeing as I am running on 1 cylinder I honestly cant remember for love nor money.

Anyway speak later, the baby will be up in about 20 mins and OH is sleeping soundly!
 
ah the joys of babies, long time ago for me thank god. Can't wait for the grand kids though. :)
 
well you can give them back can't you jim?

i'm sorry to hear you are struggling honey.. but hopefully he'll start sleeping through before too long and you can get some much-needed rest :)

we are getting married on the 18th July, so under two months now. aargh!! ha.

how is everyone this morning? it looked like a lovely day when we left the house at 6.45 but it's overcast and gloomy and probably going to rain on thomas all day today :)

abz xx
