I hadn’t realised the summer had gone so quickly. We turned our calendars to September and bam the Christmas decorations are ready for you to buy in Tescos. Its still 23 degrees outside for goodness sake! I don’t understand why people would want to start planning for a day in December, a day that is 3 months away and that is only full of stress and self indulgence. Scrooge you may say, or bar humbug, but that’s just my opinion. Many people love Christmas, the tree, the music, the festive feeling, late night shopping and an overdraft that size of Santa’s belly.
For Terry and I, Christmas can be a stressful mess, lol. Being torn emotionally between families, driving miles, buying presents and partaking in the typical thirst for consumption. Consumption of modern day symbols of progress or things contributing to material wealth; those factors which result in the throw away society as a consequence. I mean, how many things do you need. Its a question often posed on a daily basis to our conscious selves. Its a combination of comparison and the green eyed monster. Perhaps the upgraded USB, TFT or HDD really is better? Its interpretive.
And then there's the inconvenience of dietary matters. Always a treat to have the supreme 'quorn roast' once a year. Still no idea why its not eaten more as it does rock.
Maybe our opinions will soften or even alter fundamentally once we have a shared surname.

I keep a little picture by my desk of my wedding dress to remind myself that it is actually real and happening within the next year. I am still looking out for Bridesmaid dresses, might pop into the sales soon as the summer is ‘over’ they will probably be selling off their summer clothes. I have been getting a few RSVP’s on my wedding website, but they are coming in much slower then I imagined! 28 replies in total, so nearly a third of the way there for ceremony guests.
I’ve come up with a cute, creative idea of having love heart shaped lollipops for my table place names. They are adorable and add a fun decoration to the table as well as something my guests can eat when they arrive at their tables! They come in clear packaging and I thought I would place a sticky label around the stick of the lolly with the guest name printed on them. I also thought I could place the lolly balancing on the saucer of my favour.
At only 14p a lolly and £12.60 for the lot, it’s a great innovative idea, rather than the usual card place name. Colourful, creative and romantic.
It’s Friday and a beautiful weekend is ahead of us.
