Wedding Fair


What a LOVELY day!!!

I've had such a nice time! Seeing Jaquie was great. She brought Mia with her (one kid was enough for David to cope with all day I think, lol) and she was a little sweetheart all day, so good and quiet! You'd hardly know she was there. Jacs gave me a photo of her to add to my growing collection on "my mates kids" photos!

Towneley was heaving with people, but we got round just about everything anyway. Mum intriduced me to a lass called Zhara who showed me and Jacs round persoanlly and talked my wedding over with me, showed me the rooms it would happen in, explained the lay out, and recommended a good caterer, and suggested that a band would be better than a DJ (which is what I would prefer anyway). I think we might have embarased mum by laughing at in in-appropriate moment; a guy tapped Zhara on the back, and told he he's have to pop out for a moment to drop his bollard, and me and Jacs where in fits!

When we finally found Allen (mum's mate who does the enactments with her) he thought Jacs was me, which was rather funny, and not a little bit embarasing for Jacs and Allen, hee hee, when Mum pointed out that I was me....!

It turns out that me and Jacs have fallen in love with the same wedding dress though, which is a bit of a worry. I made jokes about going halves on it and me having it after her as she's getting married before I am. She didn't go for it as an idea though (not a suprise really) and I guess I'll have to hope she'll find something she likes better. It's the Romy dress I posted a few weeks back from Pronuptua - the white dress with red bodice and gloves.

I've come home with tons of wedding stuff to rummage through, and some cataloges of menswear for Yorkie to look at too. He likes "something in green", which might resolve the dress problem, as if he really wants to wear green, it might be a good idea for me to NOT wear red next to him. We'll look like a christmas card!

The best of news though, is the discount we are getting!

I can't say how much online as it might affect the discount. Towneley is a popular wedding spot, and I don't want them to get too much pressure, but lets say this - it is CERTAINLY an advantage haviong a wonderful, well loved, friendly women like my mother on the inside! *wink wink*

All I have to do now is convince dad to buy in the booze for the wedding and all my bargain chips will be used up!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
