Madness!
Home
I feel I have messed up a bit. My last weekend as a single man was spent partly shopping and mostly sat at home watching DVDs, how sad. Still, it was good. Friday we stayed in for some reason, we were planning to do one or other of our last remaining wedding tasks. Can't remember if we did or not though. Saturday I borrowed a car and drove up to Bluewater again, and bought a desk like this for me:![]()
and an IPOD mini for Clare. Did I say before that I love Bluewater? Had lunch in Nandos, for a change. Looked at some more ace furniture in John Lewis too, we're going to have a good old spend up after the honeymoon.
Tried to get Deano working wirelessly at home, managed to configure the router so things were working wiredly, but must have missed a trick somewhere, so had to leave it all unworking. Went home and fixed up my own computer, upgraded the firmware on my router, as advised by Best Man Andy, and now I can FTP again to my hearts content - got some more recent pictures up on the site.
Saturday evening bridesmaid-and-flatmate Emma was down. In Folkestone, visiting, in preparation for the wedding, not down in the dumps or anything, she was probably quite happy about visiting. We went to Chambers, but it was a bit quiet (should have checked the gig guide, guessing people were at The Amphitheatre), so we got some booze and went back to ours. And watched Gladiator, what had I done to deserve that..? Last night we were planning to go to the Chambers quiz, but it wasn't on, very disappointing. So more staying in and watching films including (Meet the Fockers, what a lot of focking robbish).
Weather's looking fine, twenty-two degrees on Friday at the moment... Could do without being in work these next few days, but perhaps I'd just wind myself up making myself nervous...

Jolly good fucking luck for Friday!
I'm sure things will go smoothly.
It'll be a lot of fun.
One word of advice: Make sure the song for the "first dance" is short and not some sucky smaltz. Me and the missus went for "It Must Be Love" by Madness. By the end everyone was on the dance floor!
Thinking back now, it probably would have been better if we'd gone for "Baggy Trousers". LOL!

That is Madness!
The first dance is about the last thing to be sorted, I had been set on the same song for a year or so, but we went through the options this week and one just stood out obviously for both of us, so that's the way we're doing it. Will let you know how it goes.
PS it's not going to be that one from Robin Hood.
