Went into Arbroath today to drop off the fresh flowers to old 'Pie Bob' and to pick up the marrige paperwork. 'Pie Bob' loved the roses that we gave him, everyone so far has adored the colour of them! As do I still majorly chuffed that I got them - big cheesy grins!! We also gave him four miniature rose bushes. We are having some cream rose buds on the cake, as extra decoration so it was decided it would be best to give him the whole bush, then tomorrow he can pick off the ones he wants, then they won't have opened by the evening. It is going to take him an hour and a half to set the cake up tomorrow! Good lord!
The marriage certificate was easy to get, it had already been organised so it really was a case of just having to go into the registrar's office and pick up the papers. It is really weird talking about changing my name. To me, as I am sure it is to all people, is who I am, so the thought of changing that after 25 years of being who I am is a very strange concept, and probably what is causing me most stress about this wedding.
Face Of Dave
Make A Face Site
Just went here and had a bit of a laugh!!! You can make your own, umm face! Its a bit like a Police Sketch program, more limited though, of course! I made Dave, what you think? I don't think it is too bad!!!!!

Photos of Phriday!!
Below is a photo of the 'Automatic Hoover' that had been on our wedding gift list, unfortunately the guys at my work couldn't afford it, so they made their own... Complete with clockwork snail to power it all!!
Shoes, Shoes, Come On!! Where's All The Shoes!!
Okay, the wedding is in ummm four days and I have only just got my shoes! Suddenly remembered that,
'Duh! I need something on my feet!!!'
I am just not a shoe person, I don't go gooey over shoes, they are for keeping your feet dry, that's all, and I find them such a hastle to buy as well! Try them on, feet the wrong shape, try on another pair, looks great but too small, don't have it in your size, have it three sizes too big, will that do? Ah No! Almost as bad as clothes shopping. There's an instant way to make yourself feel fat!! Clothes shopping! Anyway, I digress...
We were going into Glasgow anyway for some last minute shopping for the Honeymoon so I thought,
'Fine, Glasgow LOADS of shoe shops'
And this is true, there are loads of shoe shops, just no shoes in them!!!
In the end Next came to the rescue with some wonderful shoes, not too expensive and in my size!!
Phew!...

Last Day of Work ... and Surprises All Round!!
Well, what a great last night and this morning!! Some totally unexpected gifts and celebrations! Its really weird I didn't think that people would be that interested, I don't mean that in a negative way, obviously I don't think that they would just be kind of
"oh, a wedding, blarghhh"
I thought there would be congratulations and questions from those not in the family and a few wishes of good luck but I have been blown away by the niceness of people.
Take last night, the last day of poker for us for the next 3/4 weeks (except Sunday, but we have established that that doesn't count) Two of the people we know from the poker, Barrie and Isobel gave us a card and a gift which was totally unexpected! Thanks very much guys! Then totally out of the blue was a gift and card from the lady whos pub we host the poker in!! A beautiful gift it was too (even if someone else did unwrap it!) I was quite overcome, I am not used to people making such a fuss!! :) :) :)
Then to just add to my "wow!" I get into work today, late (never trust alarm clocks!!) to find that everyone has signed a card, and decorated my desk with balloons and banners and even put together a little guide to marriage for us! LOL We are also heading out for lunch to a Indian resturant!! I am again so happy, I am really not used to this and it is so nice!!!
