Happy Berfday Lil' Bro'

Tiz my Lil' Bro's birthday today....he's 18 months younger than me (which makes him 19½...lol)

Sometimes I wonder if we really are related. He's almost 10' tall and can touch the ceiling in the bedroom whilst standing in the kitchen on the ground floor...I am a mere 5'2" and can just about touch the floor with my feet when I sit on the sofa.

When out & about in the car I have my seat right upto the steering wheel with bricks tied to the pedals so my short legs can reach. My brother, sits in the trailer towed behind in order to steer his car!

My bro' loves watching sport on TV, I enjoy watching fit blokes, in lycra, playing sport on TV.

My brother can cook...regular visitors to this blog will know I cleary can NOT cook!

Happy Birthday Little Bruver!

Another Wedding Drama...

So here you go, another Wedding Card request for a couple getting hitched next month.

Again, memories of my crazy wedding day came flooding back.

My dress was a beautiful, full-on meringue which needed a special hooped petticoat underneath to give me that ultimate puff-ball look. All day I floated about like a beautiful princess, wafting my big frock here n' there, knocking over small children & ornaments.

My parents had kindly agreed that we could have our reception at their house with a small marquee in the garden. Because my dress was so 'meringuey' I couldn't fit into their downstairs 'cloakroom' to use the facilities when nature called, so I had to resort to 'hoicking' my frock up in a non-princessy manner to get up the stairs to the big bathroom.

It would have been more graceful if I'd simply thrown myself out of a bedroom window afterwards using my dress as a parachute to rejoin our guests...but no...I gracefully walked back downstairs complete with the bathmat attached to the end of my dress that had managed to latch onto one of the wire hoops in my enormous petticoat that had worked its way loose!

Honestly...I'm sure I was only put on this earth as the comedy act!

There's more...(Yes More!) but you'll have to wait for the next wedding card.

Oh The Memories.....

I've been asked to make a few wedding cards and here's the first one.

It reminded me of my wedding day... memories of practising my walk up the aisle (in my mum & dads hallway) with my Maid of Honour. At the church the walk to the alter was L-Shaped. The plan was to STOP at the turn & allow my MOH to rearrange my long dress (Yes! Kids...I have worn a frock before!!) in preparation for my elegant approach to much beloved who stood up the front (probably wondering what sort of lunatic he was marrying)

In all the excitment I forgot to stop, MOH bent down to fluff my rear, stood on the end of my dress and I carried on walking. I was lucky the dress wasn't ripped off me as I strode forward & the frock didn't!

The day had just begun, there was more to follow.....
