Hey ladies

Back in Sydney now, got back at 1100 on Wednesday (after a screamingly, crying flight, toddler crying, had half the mind to shut it up *smacks fists together*). And currently sick, possibly passed on by my beloved Phil, but possibly my hayfever, but I have a sore throat right now and incredibly dry. Go figure, one always gets sick on Annual Leave.

Anyways HK was very busy, lots of running around getting this, getting that, getting sized, buyingg this, buying that, ordering this and that. So all in all, I think the only I need to choose is the fascinator that goes with the Chinese Kwa (Phil's wearing the groom's suit as well!!)



So the list of done/to-do's:
- wedding gown & veil - tailored and being made
- 2 evening dresses - tailored and being made
- wedding suit - tailor made and he looks gorgeous
- wedding shoes x 3 - bought and bought and bought
- wedding jewellery - bought
- corset & shapewear - fitted and bought
- Phil's shoes - bought
- groomsmen's ties & hankies - tailor made and bought
- engagement ring - bought
- chains & substitute ring - bought
- wedding rings - ordered and being made in Paris
- invitations - deposit placed, need to email over text for sample
- PJs & hair ceremony set - bought


You know, for 2 weeks, we didn't do too badly. I got somethings for myself as well, 2 denim skirts coz my size 16 one was too big for me when I arrived. Some tops, 7 bras! (3 of them altered to fit, apparently my right boob is smaller than my left boob, go figure), 2 pairs of shoes (I wanna see if I can get away with the black pair as nursing shoes), a little cardiac anatomy model, yea I think that's all.

Still have to do:
- bridesmaids' dresses
- bridesmaids' headpieces
- bridesmaids' jewellery
- bridesmaids' shoes
- flowers
- work out what the hell is happening with PLC
- my birth certificate to Trev the Rev

I've got Godiva chocolates for us gals, 6 small blocks which I plan on ripping apart and devouring on our next get-together.
The engagement party, I think will be Saturday November 1st, tell me if anyone can't do it eh?
Anyways, I'm gonna return to my hot lemon tea. Gaaah my throat. Good to be home.
