Final Countdown ...

As far as the new job goes, by the end of the second week (on Friday) I had begun to feel less stupid. Still an inordinate amount of stuff to learn but at least I know a couple of things so I feel I can be useful. The worry is now - will I remember it all after my two week break. The two girls I work with presented me with the good luck wedding card as I was leaving which was very thoughtful.

It is now "T" minus 3 days ....

On Friday night we had a little drink with some friends. Neither of us wanted a Stag or Hen do. Hubby came up with the splendid idea of booking a few tables at a bar in Canary Wharf and inviting friends to join us there for an evening. Some people couldn't get their heads round the idea of a joint party but we had a lovely evening just sitting around and talking, enjoying a few drinks and some bar snacks. For us, it was much better than trawling around a load of pubs and ending up in some dodgy nightclub!

It was also doubly enjoyable as we had invited three Star Wars Galaxy players that we have known for some time but never met in "real life". It was quite a bizarre experience seeing these people "in the flesh" as the image in my head was of the on-screen character! Thankfully we all got on well and hopefully we will meet up again.

We met my american matron of honour and family on Sunday morning - they're having a few days of site seeing in London. It's interesting to explain things to people not familiar with the UK. I found myself stopping and thinking about things that I would ordinarily see as being every-day and uninteresting.

So far, I am not nervous. It still feels quite unreal at the moment. It's quite possible that it won't actually hit home that I'm getting married until the honeymoon or later! I'm sure I will feel nervous on the day - I know that I will be anxious that everything will go ahead smoothly.

Today has been full of last minute stuff - music for the Reception, wrapping gifts, phone calls to suppliers, etc.

Tomorrow, I've got to start laying out our clothes for packing with the intention of hopefully not forgetting something like my wedding shoes or Hubby's shirt!
I also have a long list of medication to pack - I think I should rename my suitcase to "travelling pharmacy". I have IBS and asthma so there are a number of tablets, inhalers and sprays that I carry around with me. I think my biggest worry is that my IBS will misbehave on the wedding day. If my body behaves itself then I will be happy and will be able to fully enjoy the day.

That's all for now as I'm falling asleep ... think of me on Saturday! :o)

Happy Journeys.
