Yep, another mini update to fill some time until I do the main update. Managed to snag the wordpress app for the Blackberry so I’m posting this from my bed as I can’t sleep at the moment.

App works really well actually.

If any of you have a blackberry, let me know your pin and we can do some old school messaging like the good old days

Hello,

Sorry for no updates for a while, i’ll try and put something new up here in a few days.

Bad Ste.

Well, she said yes. We got married on Saturday. It was ace. The best day of my life so far.

I’ll post some pictures when I get some as i’m waiting on other people to send them to me (I didn’t take a camera, I was somewhat busy as you can imagine )

Woop Woop!

Here you go frank

Wedding plans are going well, its only2 months to the wedding now and things are starting to come together.  We have the dresses (Bride and Bridesmaids) sorted.  Suits are hired (need one usher to go for his fitting yet).  The cake has been picked (mmm vanilla sponge) etc.  Most of the stuff has been paid for and we are just waiting for people to RSVP their invitations to see whom is actually coming.

We are both looking forward to the big day.  It should be a wonderful one-off spectacular day to remember for sure.

Tomorrow I and 11 others are off to my Stag Do in the lake district.  I’m just hoping they have nothing out of the ordinary planned for me.. I think they’d know better as Laura will probably kill anyone who does anything to me

We are staying in a lovely cottage in Edderside (near Allonby) and will be Go Karting and Clay Pigeon shooting and also going for a few strolls in the hills no doubt.  I’m really looking forward to it, if not a little nervous as I want everyone to have a good time.

I’m going to put an update post on tonight about the wedding and all the other things that have happened … as my blog at the moment is turning into an exercise record .. not a blog.  Bad Ste.

Late night bike ride this time to Jonny and Rach’s and back to see Claire while she is over here before heading back to new york.

Not bad.  You may have noticed the odo’s have jumped from the last post, I forgot to add in previous rides …. D’oh.

Rode from our house to andy’s, then on to Dave and Vick’s then up to Carr Mill Dam and back.  Dave very kindly tried to fix a clicking bottom bracket for me but it still seems to be defective…

It was good to get Mr Hinch out on his bike this time as well … he suffered a bit but it’ll be worth it and it wont be long until he regains his biking legs once more.  I’ll bung some pics on facebook in a bit.
