Nearly back to work time
Errgh. I have to go to work tomorrow :-( And I have a cold. This week has gone past far too fast, especially the camping bits, I currently have my tent spread out on the clothes rack so that it can dry out a bit before I pack it away, it's not hugely wet, just a bit damp, but you can guarantee that if I pack it up as it is, it will be mouldy when I next get it out. I would have put it up in the garden but I don't trust the weather not to rain on it and then I'd be back at square one.
My dad has been fixing the heating today, unfortunately the boiler and central heating pump is in my room in the airing cupboard, so he woke me up at 9am today wanting to get in and sort it out, I let him in, then slept around the banging and thumping and swearing that was coming from the other side of the room. I still managed to sleep in until 12 tho. I am so lazy.
Next week I am planning to go to the doctors to get a note so that I can join the gym. Once thats done I should be able to get fit and tone up so that I can look slim and sexy for my brother's Wedding in september. The lucky bugger is going to Florida for christmas again this year, not through choice I have to say, Caroline's Mother is a little pushy, and there was a misunderstanding over tickets and stuff, but as it's all booked and sorted it looks like they have to go now. Mum and I were a little worried for a while about the fact that Caroline's mum seems to want to run their lives for them, but apparently Chris (my brother) and Caroline (his fiancee) 'had words' (read 'a blazing row') about it, and sorted it all out. I like Caroline a lot. I have to admit to being a bit wary about her at the start (I think maybe it was just older-sisterly concern for her baby brother), but when you see them together it's obvious that they are made for eachother and are so happy together, apart from the odd disagreement (but who doesn't have those?). Anyway the wedding is coming up fast, less than a year away now, and I know that year will fly past. It's going to be a fairly big do. My dad offered to pay half, thats before he found out how much it was going to cost. As my mum pointed out he has no concept of how much weddings cost these days, but after seeing a bill for the wedding cars (£600 for 2 cars for a few hours), and the photo's (£850 and that is a cheap one cos Caroline knew someone at work that did it) he is beginning to realise how much it is going to cost him. I'm not trying to imply that my dad is mean. He is not, just knows the value of his money having had to scrimp and save for years while we were younger and he was made redundant. I have to say that weddings are the most overpriced events ever! If ever I get married (which is unlikely) it's going to be very cheap, very simple and very small.

I'm with you on the wedding thing- if I do get married I want it to be a special day, but they can get rediculous. Its like people think 'oh everyone will think we are mean if we don't give everyone a sit down banquet with ballons and flowers and rose petals and little gifts on the table'·... Sod that!!
