Outfit...tick

Today has been a 'get these jobs done then we can relax and enjoy our holiday' day. We went into Liverpool centre after breakfast to get suits sorted for the wedding as well as something for me to wear. I'm not a shopper as it is (anymore!!) but shopping like I did today is the worst. I had a time limit and I needed to find something appropriate and that fitted. I stupidly wore my leather jacket which made me feel warm and clammy (nice huh?!) and had my lace-up walking boots on. Not very conducive to trying on lots of different outfits in a number of different shops. Don't know why I didn't think that one through a little more, but hey, job done now. I managed to find a really nice green and black dress, and a black wrap. J approved of both choices (very unusual!!) and the dress was reduced from 90gbp to 30gbp...winner! ;o) We then went to the Supermarket to buy things for the party bags (the kids at the wedding are all getting party bags) and I managed to find a pair of shoes to go with my dress that were also reduced...double winner!! All I have to sort now is my hair and my appointment is made for Thursday. Not exactly my idea of a vacation but we're here for J's little brother this time, not for us. 

Everything is slowly coming together and falling into place. We just have to head back into the city centre one more time for the suits. So far this evening we have been making the 'order of service' for Saturday. I've been cutting out hearts and snipping ribbon like a mad woman - so glad we didn't bother with any of this for us last year. It seems to be adding a lot of stress and hassle to the whole proceedings but it's what the bride and groom want so it's all good :o) J has gone on a mad hunt for a polaroid camera with his dad (found one for sale for 12gbp so fingers crossed) for a fun scrapbook project on the day. Hopefully once they get home we can all head out for some dinner and finally chill out and relax. I've bought a SIM for my phone with data but it is crazy slow and I stupidly didn't bring a book with me (other than 'The Ethical Slut' - go on, dare me...) so I'm a little bored right now. Other than all of the above it's been a fun day. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I'm not complaining, just sayin is all ;o)
