Please skip reading this if you don’t want to be bored with yet more weddingy stuff!!

We have a wedding list, for the wedding funnily enough! We had very few options of where to have one, so we ended up going to the one place and spent 2 hours putting the bones of a wedding list together, to be completed at some stage when one or both of us had the time and energy (its exhausting stuff actually!)

Then we spent a week waiting to try and access the list, another week talking to the shop about the problems we were having accessing it, them ringing us back, not able to get into it still, them ringing us back, and eventually it was fixed. 

We were at the point of saying we would go somewhere else, but at that point we’d already sent out the information with our invites and it would have been a serious hassle to go through all that again.
Apparently someone came over especially from England to sort out our problem, we were the exception of course, to the rule.  no-one else had the problem, just us.

I did finish the wedding list, just yesterday.
(don’t laugh now!) I didn’t find the sunglasses I had seen before, they’d moved the displays to a different location, but I did feel better about the price I was willing to have someone pay for them for me (€50) when I saw some of the other prices for gucci ones etc (€200 plus).
I did however somehow manage to put a totally-not-needed-for-a-laptop-but-would-be-a-seriously-good-yarn-bag laptop case on at a price that I dont think I’d ever pay for a yarn bag on the list and somehow a jewellery box also managed to get itself on there but I think I’ll have to take that one off for definate as thats not really an us present…..
I suppose I could really and realistically use the laptop bag for the laptop and put knitting in the sides of it- it has a cool pull out padded section in the middle for the laptop. It would be a good overnighter bag also.  See? Lots of potential in that little bag! (as I try and justify it to myself…..and its RED!!!!! Red, folks, I love Red) (I also love Green, if you didn’t know that before, and they also had a green one- talk about the internal struggle when I was trying to decide which I liked better!!)(Maybe I should change it to the green one….)(You see what I have to put up with, with myself??)

I got the denby on and a hoover and saucepans and think that I have been through the entire store inside and out at this stage. It was quite difficult actually, as the store didnt really have a huge amount to offer, pretty much nil in the way of electricals, and nothing much in the way of outdoor stuff. As I said before, we were very limited in where we could go and this seemed to be the easiest option.

Phew. Glad thats done now.

I was on the way out and trying to make the 9pm bus when I was coming down the escalators and saw the perfect sun dress with matching bikini that would actually look okay on me, and I had to pause and wonder if it was worth missing my bus for and getting the later one. I even took steps towards the cashier with them in hand then realised that I’d be hanging around for another hour if I  missed it and put them back. 
Now its going to be a case of me going back to buy them, them being out of stock, and me searching the entire network of the same department store in the south of Ireland for the same ones….

Edited to add: The jewellery box is taken off the list…..and the laptop/knitting bag, I suppose a knitting bag isn’t really an US present either- now all I need to do is persuade him to knit and THEN he’ll see sense  mwahhahaha evil laugh
