Where has this year gone? Already November is here and the incessant Christmas chatter has begun - for those people already bragging about starting or indeed finishing their shopping, its not impressive... frankly it's just depressing. I am not some sort of festive Scrooge. After all what's not to love about presents, food, family, guilt-free chocolate for breakfast and seasonal slurps of alcohol?
No, my need to put December off for as long as possible is because I can feel time slipping away - not, I should point out, in some morbid way. Purely in terms of planning.
You see Christmas was a great midway point when it came to setting deadlines.
Choosing and sending the invitations? We can concentrate on that after Christmas. Bridesmaids and their dresses? That can wait until the New Year. Groom's outfit? We'll think about that in January.
So I have in actual fact set myself up for a horrendously busy and super-productive start to 2010.
I know it will be fine - we still have eight months and counting until the wedding. But I wouldn't be me if there wasn't an air of worry and panic when it comes to something this important.
I think for my own sanity I shall set myself one little(ish) task to accomplish come Christmas - say choosing the invites.
And thankfully there is great news on that front already. As I speak, handmade samples are winging their way to me courtesy of the very creative and talented Sabrina - a real star who is now totally invaluable to me.
So you see, things are looking up already!
