Lesley - I'm just hoping that I get to see it occasionally rather than just its deposits .
The amount of bird food we're going through is insane. I think the woman at Pets At Home is starting to think I'm stalking her I'm in there so often. I rather hoped the cherry tree might slow down consumption but it just seems to encourage more birds!
That alas will have to change - I wont be the only one on a diet the birds will have to be on a limit too. I've just been looking at prices for the wedding. The photographer alone wants £1000
You'll have to be quick arranging the wedding Clari - prices will only go up
At least you saw the hedgehog before it was almost run over and you know it's around. More food from Pets at Home then. What hog house are you looking at or are you going to build one?
Speed is not something my partner is known for unfortunately (seeing as how it took him six years and an arm pinned behind his back before he realised that he might just want to marry me ) So prices are not going to fun. I've several very talented friends with (very expensive and more twiddly bits than I can dare to mention) cameras who I am rather tempted to ask if they'd work as a team to take photographs (fortunately all men not known for the pleasure they find sitting through a wedding so I don't think they'd mind too much especially if they're in a team so there's not too much pressure on them).
Best get on Pintrest in the evenings and work out what we can do ourselves!
Clari, my sister has just done quite a lot herself for her wedding, she made all the table numbers and seating plan etc herself using decoupage (spelling??) and I made the wedding favours - jams. There is quite a bit you can do yourself if you have the time and patience and are artistically inclined, which I'm not We just did it the easy way and went abroad, just the two of us....no stress or arguing
Glad you had a fab time Punk, watched Dolly last night.....she was amazing
Great idea Clari. Weddings can be soooo expensive now. They don't need to be though. A lot of planning needed. (get the dress off your dreams though) My s.i.l had two daughters married within a year
Grow your own flowers. Get everyone you can involved and doing something. Any nice vehicles around?
The mums are both very talented and have lots of crafty tools so I'm sure they can be put to good use when not buying hats... providing they'll make what I want not what they want that is. Something our families are not especially great at. My ideas are normally declared not good enough and tossed to one side in favour of what they wanted to do in the first place. Fun fun fun!!
Perhaps I should have brought some more lavenders and had those as favours! Could you imagine how the church would have smelt with 100 or so lavender plants scattered around! (Anything to cover the smell of bat poo that it normally smells of).
A friend brought jelly beans from Costco and is having her favours as jam jars filled with jelly beans. Her wedding isn't til mid August and she filled the jars several weeks ago and I just hope they don't sweat or anything! I feel a little sorry for her parents whose house they once thought they were getting back when she moved out is now being filled up with wedding things! My cousin went for Webster biscuits as that was her new surname but by the time the guests got them they were a little too tipsy to realise and most of them had scoffed them with the coffees before realising they were special!
A trip to Gretna Green is a distinct possibility...
Lesley - I think I'll buy a hedgehog house. OH has too many projects on his list that aren't progressing as it is and he'd never let me use his tools!
As for vehicles. Well I do volunteer at The National Emergency Services Museum and have friends who own a variety of steam rollers, tractors, and classic cars, so if nothing else the car park will look amazing!
Two daughters getting married so close together? Sounds like madness I am already fed up of a friend going on about their plans I can't even imagine what it would be like with two daughters both getting stressed out!
Goodness, i only popped out for a few hours, took me ages to read through the posts!
Good luck with the wedding planning clari, have you decided on a theme or colour? Its easy for the men, they only have to turn up (and keep both eyebrows during stag doo!)
Twins! Patience of a saint is all im saying!
Pavlova, oooo, one of my faves!
Doc, loved the post, very concise! Hope you had a good time
Sorry if i missed anything, but your posts are on the last page and my memory is rubbish!

OL - beat me to it.

Gretna Green is only an hour away If you get further up I will have bubbly on ice for you
Mt Dad offered OH use of his ladders so we could abscond there in the middle of the night
We did make all the Order of Service sheets for both nieces weddings and they looked great..
