Wine and Love meme is a weekly Thursday post where bloggers review their week through whines (wines) and loves. It really was a wine week this week as I resorted to wine drinking last night rather than tonight – wine drinking on a Thursday always seems ok to me, what with it being Friday the next day. Anyways, you can check out other bloggers taking part here via Nora’s blog and my previous wine and love posts.

Wines

• It has been a really mixed up week this week, what with the joy of getting my adoption file on Monday, to finding out an address and phone number (!!) to sadness in finding out that potentially I’ll never get the chance to meet my mother, to the excitement of potentially of having a brother. It has been a total rollercoaster emotion wise and i’m not yet ready to write about it any fuller way than in a bullet point list like this – avoidance? maybe, but in any case I am taking a couple of weeks to think things through before I go back to the counsellor to start the next step.

• Despite trying my hardest not to use data in Australia, even going as far as buying a data package I still managed to get a £278 bill on my return. Orange are being wankers and refusing to help me with it. Looks like ill be leaving them at the end of my contract but dammit I wanted my iPhone 4s as soon as possible and ill have to search around for a new contract now. Any deals out there?

• B’s birthday was a complete disaster – firstly I bough him tickets to see Laura Marling (and a hotel for the night as the concert is in Glasgow) and it turns out to be the same night as his cousin’s 21^st, then we go out for drinks and I get so drunk I throw up. Classy bird.

• I am still finalising the ring, after finding the perfect coloured sapphire yesterday we discovered that it had a small chip, back to the jewellers we go. It is still looking like 3 weeks before I get my dream ring. Hurry up. I know I sound like a spoilt brat with this one, what with the economy, people out of work, but surely I deserve a little princess like behaviour?

Loves

• I have rectified the birthday mess by instead buying B a pair of Folk blue suede shoes – which might even end up being his wedding shoes as they match my ring. Plus they had been reduced even further in price since I first looked at them, which I think is a small win in this whole mess.

• Despite the fact I hated organising my first wedding (my mum did it basically) I am loving having control over this one (ok with B too, luckily he has lots of ideas, most of them mad) and I am already enjoying getting inspiration. I have started a wedding board over on Pinterest which you can check out (with all my other boards) here. If you need an invite let me know, be warned Pinterest is addictive.

• Finally this weekend is looking fab – with a Burn’s supper with friends I haven’t seen in yonks on Friday and a wee engagement party/ birthday drinks for B on Saturday – I am looking forward to celebrating all over again. Cheers!

What are your wines and loves this week?
