My thought of the day
I really, really want to be a Gilmore Girl. I mean, they seem to have so much fun, they talk fast plus you could be called Rory - an EXCELLENT name for a girl, plus she is the hotness. Yes, that is my new aim.

Oh he's a Love Machine
Hello faithful readers, how are your Mondays? As a quick aside, doesn't that phrase make an awesome euphemism for boobies? I may use that from now on.
I feel I have been rather absent recently. I apologise, I have big plans to make the blog more user friendly and fun and, of course, this will involve blogging more. So yes, that is le plan.
Wedding plans are progressing well, thank you for asking! I have started the search for my dress (look out for more on this in an upcoming post), have got the photographer and even been to the florist (that was v fun, my daffodil idea did not go down well....) so the next thing on the list is bridesmaid dresses.
I want my lovelies to be super confident and happy in what they are wearing and, while I want them to look 'together' and like a group (not in a popstar way although that would also rock), it is important to me that they are individual because, well, they are.
Steve doesn't quite get this so, while he was fixated on Girls Aloud in concert, I tried to explain:
Me: Now see that is what I mean, see Girl's Aloud?
Steve: (his vision not budging) Mmmmmm
Me: See what they are wearing?
Steve: Yeeeeeeessss
Me: That is what I want for my bridesmaids.
Steve: (Turning to me for the first time) Black pvc, mini lacey outfits? (Brightening slightly) Really?
Me: No. I mean that there is a very obvious theme but they are all slightly different.
Steve: (Staring back at the screen with intent) Sssssh, the girls are dancing.

His obsession with adverts continues part 3
Back with the third and final post.
Glee is over (BOOOOO!) and I get up to get a drink, the new Dyson advert arrives on the tv. Already I know Steve will have a comment, he hates the Dyson man at the best of times.
Dyson man: I have spent my career investigating the best ways of vacuum cleaning.
Steve: Must be a laugh a minute.
And so, lovely reader, I did get my drink, and I then went to bed, leaving Steve mumbling away at the television, safe in the knowledge that he believes that he, of course, is a better spot remedy, broadband provider and hoover maker than anyone else in the world.

His obsession with adverts continues part 2
The next break come on, the new BT advert comes on:
Advert narrator: BT are rolling out fibre optic broadband across the UK.
Steve: How very big of them.

His obsession with adverts continues - Part 1
A treat for you, this will be the first of three updates this afternoon detailing the lovely Mr Steve's vocal appreciation of adverts, all of which occured last night. Yep.
All your Christmases have come at once eh?
So installment one:
We are watching Glee (YEY!!). It goes to the break. While I, a normal person, drift off into a little fantasy about Puck, Steve stares intently at the screen.
Advert narrator: Have spots? Tried everything? Now try something different!
Steve: If you have tried everything then how can you try something different.
The ad continues, the go to 'real people' who have tried the product and loved it.
Red haired girl: I had tried everything (cue loud cough from Steve) when someone told me to try the new Clearasil programme. It is amazing, I feel totally fantastic.
Steve: Shame you're still ugly then.
Pop in at 3pm for Part 2

This is what I live with
Steve got in from football, he is immediately cross as, due to him already limping I foolishly requested that he not play football for two months before the wedding.
In the middle of his sulking the new Windows 7 advert comes on, it is the one where the man is buying a present for his wife and is able to delete his website history with a new Windows feature so she doesn't find out.
This riles Steve considerably and he goes into yelling mode, directed totally at the TV:
"YOU ARE LOOKING AT PORN NOT BUYING HER A GIFT. YOU TRAGIC, TRAGIC LIAR OF A LITTLE MAN!"
He then flounces off to the kitchen, he returns with one of the fairy cakes I baked yesterday (aren't I good to him?).
Me: Is that another fairy cake? Why haven't you eaten one of the chocolate chip ones I made? They are yummy.
Steve: (after a long pause) The chocolate chip ones could have done with some icing, I'm just saying.
He is now in the shower, which I have accidently turned to cold...
