Yesterday was awful. Got the call we'd been dreading, our flight to St Lucia for the honeymoon had been cancelled. Well I say call, Virgin chose to ruin my day by text. How charming of them.
Anyway,we went through everything from cancelling the whole thing, to trying to decide on an alternative destination or just moving the dates. Moving the dates didn't end up as a viable option as America selfishly decided to have Thanksgiving, which trebled the cost of everything.
The worst part is that the flight it actually going ahead, Virign are flying the plane out, but they're flying it empty. No one seems to be able to tell me the wise thinking behind this ridiculous decision. The St Luciean government is happy for people to begin travelling there again.
Anyway, I never thought I'd say this but in the end we were saved by British Airways. They ar flying and we could have still gone on Sunday. But we decided to delay the start until Tuesday, give St Lucia time to sort some more bits out. It sounds like most of the island has power now, but water supply is still an issue. But the north of the island sounds like it escaped relatively unscathed, and our hotel says they sustained no damage. So fingers crossed, we'll still have a fantastic holiday.
So anyway, after the stress of yesterday, Mum came over to collect the cats and we went out for dinner and had a few (million) glasses of wine. So today has been spent eating junk and lying around in our own filth. Lovely.

Shirts
Can someone please explain to me why a tailor cannot make a shirt in 4 weeks? What a load of crap.

Waiting
So, I was up early this morning as i've got a meeting in Swindon. It starts at 9.30am and the big boss is coming. I'm catching a ride with him but no sign of him, so we're going to be late. I hate being late.

To run or not to run?
Actually that's no question at all. I haven't done any exercise at all since a brief swim on Sunday, so I really must run tonight. I really wanted to last night but it was far too rainy.
Don't suppose skinning 3 bottles of wine between me and Ben in the pub counts as physical exercise does it?

Testing, testing!
Wow, big day. Seeing if I can blog from my phone. Got myself an Android and everything!

The necessaries
Right, here are the most necessary recent facts.
I left my old job, which I loved but was, shall we say, slightly precarious (the company, not my position within it) a few weeks ago to start a new job, which also meant moving house. So within 3 days, I'd up sticks to the other side of town and started a new job I basically have no idea how to do. Fun eh?
The other fun part is I get married in 4 weeks and 2 days. Not that I'm counting.
It has been a bit of a nightmare, I thought having a simple, non-churchie wedding would make life easier (not to mention the whole thing a lot cheaper). Boy was I wrong.
So at the moment I swing violently in between a vision of calm (I am generally a very well organised person, although I hate paperwork), to being an absolute gibbering wreck. today seems to be one of the better days.
Hubby-to-be is off on his 'stag do', hence why I might be feeling somewhat calmer. He is not massively helpful and treats the whole thing like arranging a Friday night drink with his mates. Being a man, he will turn up, have a lovely meal (Theo Randall's doncha know), drink a lot and then enjoy the very nice honeymoon at the end. All without one clue of the huge amount of time, effort and money it has taken to get to that point.
Ahhhh, to be a man. Life would be much easier.

Let's get it started
So, I'm told to help me understand the digital world, I should start a Blog. I'm not really sure how this will help, but I generally have a lot to say about most things, so what's the harm?
