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 :)

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!

]]> http://www.emulators.co.uk/blog/?feed=rss2&p=371 1 Wedding Update. http://www.emulators.co.uk/blog/?p=369 http://www.emulators.co.uk/blog/?p=369#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:20:53 +0000 Slick2097 http://www.emulators.co.uk/blog/?p=369 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.

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.
