After Frank kindly explained how I can get my own account on Madman (i.e. ignore their recommended birthdate entry format and do it athe regular way) I joined up and went ahead and bought the next two editions of the Chobits manga that I needed. They cost more than Fruits Basket but then I am closer to having one complete set instead of two half started sets. It makes sense to me.
Anyhoo, it's not that bad since I do still have a bit of money since last pay. The engagement party didn't cost me as much as I'd thought it would even with going out for dinner and a movie after it. I feel a bit guilty about wedding-saving but then this will make me happy in the short term, and isn't that what it's all about?
I love ordering things. It gives me a warm consumer-whore glow.
Found a very beautiful dress in a wedding magazine last night. Red bodice with gold embroidery, white skirt with red applique flowers flowing from the bodice down the skirt. I like the idea of having just a white bodice, or just a white skirt and some bold colour for the rest. Looking forward to fabric shopping on Sunday after the wedding show. I have bext Friday off from 1pm too, which I will spend in town looking at tiaras and shops like Sherazad.
Lee complained to me last night that although I have my book of wedding stuff I haven't done anything constructive towards the wedding yet. I pointed out that there is very little I can organise without a date and a venue and he went a bit red. Maybe I should order the mini-noodle boxes I saw on trademe and start making up place marker favours. On second thoughts that'll probably make him less happy.
