Just lurking. Both babies sleeping just now, feel like I should be sleeping too! DS is still unsettled around sleeps, woke in a panic at 2 last night and wouldn't go back to sleep without DH there. He spent half of last night through there on the spare bed, and is just going to start out in there tonight and hope for no wakes. Hopefully if he does wake he'll settle quicker and not disturb me so much too.
Spotty, glad you got the dress for such a good price, it's lovely. Sorry to hear about BIL gran, it's hard to know how to deal with something like that. Woo for your g.gran getting to 100!
Pidg, I got married in a second hand dress, if it fits and you look good then why not? It does indeed give you much more budget for fun stuff. I did lots of things for our wedding myself - room decoration, table centre pieces, a 3 tier m&s cake (which tasted amazing!) decorated with etsy sugar paper butterflies, silk flowers bouquets made to order online... I regret trying to make chocolate truffle favours myself, they melted to mush just in the heat of the reception room. Everything else was lovely though, and we splashed out on the menu and wine.
Hales, the house looks great, our garden is too small though. I'm not sure you made the best use of your day off, is probably have opted for bath, nap and tasty lunch!
