Sperm Envy

I WISH I HAD SPERM. Though T told me that if I did they would be amazing sperm. Some consolation to my inept reproductive system. Who decided that two eggs don't make a baby are FOOLS. It is going to cost us thousands to conceive in some lab. This thought bums me out sometimes. But our lab rat is going be beautiful someday.

Dresses...TWO OF THEM

Ok so I shouldn't blog while in either a rush or half way through a 12.5 hour night shift. Right now I am starving and watching Nigela which also isn't a good combo. Our Iceland value fish fingers are in the oven though.... (currently awaiting pay day). Apologies for any typos as currently using my touch screen mobile and it is prone to ridiculous auto corrects. I keep having dreams about wedding dresses. The last one was the week before the wedding and neither me or T had found a dress. The dream ended with me finding one at a charity shop in Hogwarts. I have spent months occassionally browsing wedding dress websites and I have yet to find my oneeee. It is bloody hard trying to find dresses. We went through a phase of thinking we will wear contrasting coloured dresses but then we tried an ivory dress on (in Debenhams cos we were not brave enough to head in to pretentious intimidating looking bridal shops and I don't want to fall in love with some trillion pound number) and yes we both really actually suited ivory and while I am anxious about 2 ivory dresses screaming lesbians and looking daft (irrational as I am out and proud and have seen lots of beautiful lesbian wedding photos that look beautiful with both brides in ivory) and I think T would love nothing better than attracting as little attention as possible, we have decided to screw all our fears and just look like brides :D We are going for either second hand dresses or at least I am. T has already found one she wants and it is pretty reasonably priced brand new. She knows exactly what style she wants though (50s tea dress swing style). I on other hand change my mind constantly. We are going to see each others dresses on hanger but not on. I just know that T is going to look beautiful no matter what she wears x

Wedding planning...

So far I have found planning our wedding relatively easy really in so far as on the large part me and T share similar tastes so deciding on most things has been a breeze and are able to negotiate compromises pretty easily once we had decided on our priorities for the day. Neither of us want to spend thousands of pounds but equally we want to have a lovely special day. In the beginning stage when we had just got engaged, my brain went in to wedding over drive. I wanted 70 guests and the whole shebam and looked at country hotels with pretty gardens and we found a beautiful place with a great deal cliche package for October 2013. But then I sat down to really think about it and realised firstly that I didn't want to spend that amount of money and that no part of the package reflected me and T nor represented our life and lastly that I didn't want to wait until October. We have set a budget of £3000 and are gonna DIY the hell out of it. We are hiring a cute venue by the Thames (which is very symbolic for us as we have spent many a date by the Thames and I am a sucker for a good view) and we are having Afternoon tea rather than a traditional wedding breakfast (mmmmmm)... To be continued as my break has just finished.....

THE ULTIMATE DATE!

Ok so this is it...the day I officially become a proper blogger! (aside from the post I did back in March when I was definitely gonna become a proper blogger)

It is gonna be a pretty rubbish post because I technically should be getting ready to leave the flat now to go to a Joshua Radin gig <3. Me and T have officially set a date for our wedding and booked the venue. I plan to blog my little heart out about it...and about the rest of our life.

Our Civil Partnership is all booked for 28th May 2013! 244 days away :D:D

Eeeeeeeee well more information to follow when I get chance (because T will read this later and discover the reason why I was inevitably late to meet her)
