LJ, sounds quite a bit like our wedding!! we had heaps of mates rates stuff!! and we did have a sit down meal and didnt pay for alcohol and the whole thing (not including rings and outfits) came to around $3000. It was absolutely perfect though and exactly what we wanted (well, except for dad trying to seat everyone in such a way as to seat parents of married adults as close to them as possible 'to avoid an argument' )

Well the storms are coming through tonight, and they are just standard storms so far. Nothing like what has been climbing the coast. DH did say a little while ago that if a cyclone did come through tonight would church be on tomorrow? and I said depends on the damage and if we had somewhere to meet! and if we had a cyclone we would probably be stuck in our estate because we are up the hill from the only way out of the estate.

Sarah is all better (phew) and DH is home again, so life is returning to normalishness.

We booked our flights for our Christmas holidays today!! We fly out at 11:30am Chrismas eve and get back at 10:55am 3/1 so I will be offline most of that time.
