Day 81 - Let them eat cake...

James was fully booked today, so we had no physio scheduled, but that was a good thing as there were a few things to tie up regards the wedding next week. Once the girls had gone to school we had breakfast of boiled eggs and toast, our favourite.

Shopping needed doing before the weekend, which looms large on the horizon and the dreaded work again. While out we bought a lovely two tier white iced wedding cake, along with all the trimmings to decorate it, and hired a nice stand for it as well. I can't believe how these supermarkets can produce stuff like this at the prices they do? The trimming and stand hire cost more than the two tiers of the cake! Anyway, everyone can get a piece, and there might even be some left over for me!

We visited the place where the reception is booked, paid the balance, and had lunch as well!

Finally, as tradition suggests, the bridesmaids ought to receive a present from the bride and groom and we bought Sarah and Hannah a little silver cross and chain each to wear next tuesday, as a memento of the day.

Back home this afternoon i had promised to cook a roast dinner, which i did, and we all sat down and enjoyed it. Cleo finally "hit the wall" just after 8pm when she struggled up to bed and was soon asleep. Still, we had had a pretty busy day.
