M's observation

                                                    M came around to show me this photo.

I've got a really sore neck at the moment so I've tried every position possible to be sort of comfortable.... I was in a similar position when he showed this to me lol.

SUNDAY!

So, the title of todays blog may emphasise an enthusiasm more deserving of going to disneyland. As we are in the boring stage of saving for the wedding/honeymoon/nest we have to be able to find cheap things to do.

So last sunday where we went to ikea, we were there pretty early so we had breakfast there. Not any breakfast. $2.95 breakfast. We actually spent more on breakfast ($2.95 Veggie breakfast for me . $3.95 pancakes and bacon for M) than we did actually in ikea. All we bought were dark blue pillow cases for my new bed. $6.95. 

Today we were looking for things to do because we had a pretty lazy night in watching telly. So M suggested Ikea breakfast. Unfortunately, by the time we got there. It was not breakfast time any more. so we had sandwiches. :( We spent the second half of the day with my dad. Talking about the wedding, fixing his computer and watching the cricket(bore). 

Now, we are in the middle of food experimenting. M can cook two things. Beef stroganoff and Chicken tonight. So now we are trying beef strog slow cooked in a stew pot. Here's hoping!

ETA: WAS SCRUMPTIOUS!

Real Estate

So, M and I have been trawling over the many tasty real estate options online for months now and today we decided to brave it and see what was really out there. 

We saw three today. 1 of which we would move into tomorrow if we could afford it now. It was also the property where we asked the real estate agent the asking price and he added $20k to the advertised price tag. HAHA. Maybe he thought we were newbies or maybe we just looked like we wanted to buy anything at any price. Mr real estate man. You make me laugh.

my reaction to the price hike

Different Ideas

I thought that was the most amazing cake ever! How awesome is it? You could so show the white part off and secretly the dripping chocolate and chocolate dipped strawberries were facing the bridal table.

                                        M showed it to me as he thought it was ridiculous. lol

                                        Clearly we need to go back to the drawing board hehe

Hmmm

So, I had my first bad wedding freak out last night. Actually, it was more to do with organising the wedding and trying to find somewhere to buy as well. A lot of tears and a lot of comforting from M as well as a good nights sleep has put a few more things in perspective. So I am a happy chappy again today! 

Today is my day off so M and I went to the beach in the morning, had a nice lunch and then just generally chilled the rest of the afternoon. M is now out hunting for the pizza we ordered. Such a good provider he he.

IKEA + Cloud Sleeping

A couple of months ago M and I put a mattress on lay-by because my bed would be our 'marital be' and the number of springs poking into our backs was beyond ridiculous. 

We paid it off and it got delivered yesterday so last night was our first night sleeping in it. I will just say I think I was floating on a cloud. It was so comfortable and I am looking forward to 10 more years of floating on our cloud. 

M and I went to IKEA looking for bedside tables because now with the new bed I am looking for new furniture ( I would like everything to match) We found one but decided to get it later. What I was really excited about though was the candle section. I would like floral pomanders as our centrepieces and I needed to find something that was not too big and too expensive

The way that I think we will go. 3 for $24.95

Craft time!

So, Being 2012 and the year of our wedding, I decided to go to my auntys place to play with her wall to wall craft toys. I really like the idea of letter press invitations and I have seen the price people charge for this feature. I was only playing at this stage.

Spots?

My favourite pattern and the most letter pressed

First go.

In conclusion. I decided doing 50 or so sets of these would absolutely drive me bonkers so we are just going to budget to get them done for us.
