ailbhe | What I have done and what I have failed to do

This week I have...

Done three week's worth of study, if badly
Written an approximation of an essay
Recovered from a very bad head cold (third in three weeks! Wahey!)
Had a minor row with my mother-in-law
Begun the process of tidying the house, dying towels, clearing the garden, etc etc
Had the registrar approve the ceremony and set up an appointment to fill in all the paperwork pre-wedding
Noted a number of printers who can't help with the order of service for the wedding
Rearranged the seating plan to account for a missing brother-in-law
Rearranged it again so that the displaced persons would have someone they knew to sit with

And I have failed to...

Book accomodation for my sisters (I haven't left the house all week)
Find a printer who can do the order of service
Chase the florist
Buy more dye so that I can dye more towels (see 1)
Count the bedding we have, as we have two totally different sets of relatives staying in our house while we're on honeymoon
Buy more bedding as appropriate (see 1) (I don't think we can ask guests to make sure they launder their bedding the morning of departure!)
Buy more towels, though that may not be necessary; we have six sets, at least 4 of them will be dirty when we leave for the honeymoon, but I think it's pretty ordinary to pack your own towels so I doubt I will need to tell people to, really. Anyway Rob's Swedish relations won't mind a bit, they're very forgiving.
Produce a decent essay, dammit. Damn damn damn damn. I am still too bleddy sick after that bleddy job to be able to actually read intelligently. It makes study very hard.

So now I have a list of Things to Do Tomorrow.

(Things to do in Reading when you're wed)
