3 weeks to go. Status: in denial

One
Shoes have been purchased, £30 from Debenhams. I had tried to buy them online but they disappeared from the site. After a mentally scarring experience of the Oxford Circus branch's "Customer Service" I finally found them. My one gripe (sorry that should be one of my many gripes): Debenhams don't store the shoes in boxes, so they can get a little mucky in the store room.


 
Two
The rings have been collected from the Wedding Ring Workshop in Hatton Garden. They are fully hallmarked, engraved with the date and mine has been set with diamonds. Chris' silver wedding ring was left with a hammered and scuffed finish cos he's often a little hammered and scuffed himself. He certainly will be once the wedding speeches are out of the way.
 
 
 
Three
I bought these gorgeous book ends, from Achica of course. The brand is called Kare, a bonkers German homeware range.  Love 'em. 
 
 
Four
I'm turning the new series of Great British Bake Off into a drinking game. Drink one for every bright blue band-aid you spot the contestants collecting. Drink two whenever Mary Berry says "soggy bottoms". Drink three if Paul Hollywood gives someone an icy glare.  I recently found out that one of our nice neighbours works for Penguin and published Mary Berry's newest book. Apparently she lives not far from us. I would hunt her down only my quiche lorraine hasn't been up to scratch recently. And I wouldn't want Mary to say anything about soggy bottoms to me.
