Nothing quite like shopping...with three weddings coming up we spent yesterday looking for suitable outfits for my other half. After 4 hours and her trying on at least 20 dresses, we think we have found the winner. Thankfully!

I am feeling jinxed. I never really gamble, but always put a few quid on golf - the Masters and the Ryder Cup. Last Ryder Cup saw me on a roll, and won a shed load but it would seem my touch has gone as all the people I've put money on are struggling. Have 2 quid on the boat race - it's something I've never really "got" despite having gone to watch it a lot in recent years as the start is only a couple of miles from the front door. Today we'll watch i from home, but on my recent form I'd be putting money on Cambridge (unlike me...)
