Is it time for another update?...

It's been a while coming but I can actually see everything coming together now and it's exciting...so ridiculously exciting! So exciting, that if I think about it too much I start to feel sick, you know like you did as a kid before Christmas?!

Just me then? ; )

I've just spent this morning listing and sorting and listing and packing and listing everything. Yes, I'm a huge fan of lists as you may have already gathered, so much so that I'm going to share my updated "To Do..." list with you in a bit! You lucky lot!!

We now have boxes and boxes of stuff...24 to be precise. All neatly arranged into three piles - Church, Daytime & Evening. Hubstobe is going to think I've completely lost the plot when he gets home from work tonight lol.

I'm feeling quite calm about it all now it's all been listed and sorted - if only you could see how anal I have been lol - so I can now look forward to the things we've got happening before the big day...
