My dress was €700, for me that was a lot.

Yeah €700 was my limit, but it being A. The perfect one and B. very possible to dye and wear again are making me consider it.

She also told me yesterday that she'd hidden away some money that is intended for my wedding. I'd always assumed I'd have to pay for it myself.
Though she was mortified when I suggested I use the money for a deposit on a house and just get married in a registry. She's wedding mad, planned out both my sisters for them and even got the job in a bridal shop to get them cheap dresses!

My mom said "I would offer to give you the money for the €1,500 dress but I know you just don't to spend it on it", too right, if someone gives me €1,500 I'm going to Toronto for a holiday, not buying a dress I'll wear once!

That's dedication for ya there, getting the job in the shop!

My uncles wife and her friend are dress makers so they made my sisters one. Ended up only costing a couple of hundred and she loved it. It was nice and simple.

I was really lucky. I found a great dress, very simple style, that fit perfectly at Debenhams for like €200 I just needed to have it hemmed a tiny bit.

mmmm sorbet.
It's like a slightly healthier icecream.

On another wedding topic... I just found out that every single wedding I have been a bridesmaid in has ended in divorce. The last divorce just finalized on Friday. I am like the bad luck wedding charm

I saw these really cool flowers made out of newspaper the other day, would make a great wedding bouquet for a book nerd like me.

I haven't thought about wedding dresses, a short one might be nice though.

Promise me when you get married you'll use fabulous old looking books to stand your cake on.

Edit: Justin Alexander has a beautiful tea length one, it's stunning, I wanted it for a couple of weeks.

I'm tired and lazy and want to watch One Born Every Minute, but I have work to do, humph. Boyfriend made a comment about half an hour ago about reusable nappies when an ad for Huggies was on, as in, poop towels basically. I was only half listening and was like "...Eh?", then he said "They can wear reusable ones, definitely". I queried who this "they" was and the said "the babies". I'm scared.

If you use the referencing on Microsoft Word as you do your essay, it really helps make it much easier. References tab at the top of the page - has options for footnotes and APA referencing, so you put it in as you go along; everytime you want to insert a reference, you click onto it and it will put it in correctly, and then when you finish the essay, a click of a button and your ending bibliography is done.

I've used it for APA referencing and it was great - very easy to use.

Do you know if you can use this for Harvard Referencing Rebel Girl?

Bewleys ? ....that's where I used to go back when I had money. XD
It was a good compromise for my friend and I when he wanted a nice full Irish breakfast and I wanted a decent coffee... They do pancakes and all that too.

Could be, it's been a good day.

Lots of good reviews on something I wrote (which I thought was average at best) and then I got to my WW goal with a bit to spare.

That and the torrent of Doctor Who news.

I think my face ache is actually a forward facing headache though.

I got a Chinese and now I'm sooooo full, can't move and feel guilty... Grr argh

Also, loving that bouquet made from the book pages!!!

mmmm I love pancakes but they hate me when I make them. And last time I made french toast the OH accused me of trying to give him diabeties Might have used tablespoons instead of teaspoons for vanilla extract and dropped them into the sugar...
Yeah screw it, cake and cookies it is. If I make bacon brownies they'll be kinda like a breakfast.

Thanks for the recipe, I have one from Yummly that I use. It's pretty identical, actually.

Sar Bear, aren't they great? I feel like just pulling some schmuck off the street to marry him to get that bouquet.

Homemade lentil and chorizo soup. Yum!...

the end of season 2 was brilliant, was wondering where the thing with

the pink teddy in the pool and the guys cleaning up the place was going all season

and just on the part now where

Hank beats the crap out of Jesse

.

I keep missing out on shows on their initial runs as I hate watching stuff weekly, prefer to wait to have everything downloaded and just fly through them at my own pace, I watched all over Game of Thrones over 3 days, its gonna be torture waiting a week to see each episode

Did you have your coffee date?

Yes. It was meh. We ended up going to the cinema instead, which I think makes for a rubbish first date, but he suggested it and I didn't want to shoot him down. Didn't even go for a coffee afterward; he walked me straight to my car, gave me a hug and said "You can pick the next film."

He's either painfully shy or completely uninterested, kind of amounts to the same thing either way.

Lol, someone mentioned

the Tenerife air disaster

recently and I had to bite my tongue not to laugh, all I could think of was

Walt's "you know, this is only like the 8th worst air disaster. And, you know, people move on. It's really not that bad when you think about it, planes weren't even full" speech.

Have to agree with this. Cinema's grand once you have got to know someone, but for a first date you really need somewhere you can talk.

ha yeah that was a funny scene, its great how Walt goes from being likeable to an absolute prick in some episodes, like when

he sees Jesses girlfriend overdosing and just lets her choke on her own vomit as if shes not around they're in the clear

, great character writing.

Its so darkly funny as well, like the bathtub scene in the first season, or the turtle :pac:

I did before we met, if that makes any sense? I'm not so sure now. If he's not interested, then there's no point. If he's just being young and shy, well, I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for a project, I really couldn't be bothered trying to coax someone out of their shell for weeks and weeks and weeks.

I think something may be horribly wrong with my laptop.
Frantically backing up everything on memory sticks before I investigate.

I have no money for a new laptop and spent €120 last month on downloading Microsoft office for it. Balls.
