Christmas Bleatings

Ah the joys of trying to combine wedding planning and the Christmas countdown - it's causing my head to hurt!

I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to sort out the music for my wedding and select the readings - every time I feel like I've got close to making some key decisions, I get distracted by the pull to also get some festive planning underway.

Christmas is so in your face now it's impossible to ignore the fact that time is racing by and we'll be at December 25th before you know it. Singing Sleeps to Santa every morning means the festive countdown is underlined before the sun even comes up, and I now have 'present buyers block' which means I am completely clueless as to what to get anyone.

On the wedding front - my shoes have finally arrived. I had them made for me, simply because I couldn't find the style or heel height I wanted. The website I used just asks you to select a style, a heel height and the colour and 8 weeks later you have the shoes you want. Mine are the simplest shoes in the world and are actually a copy of a pair that I got from New Look for £12! Perfect.

I've also managed to locate some head-dresses for my bridesmaids. One has long hair, the other mega short hair, so it was proving tricky. Finally found some in Dorothy Perkins of all places, so delighted, as they were cost effective too!

Must dash, I've just realised I have to order some food for Christmas...
