Grandad has been working hard all of yesterday and today cleaning our oven, I wish I had taken a before picture of the right hand side. Tim and I hadn't ventured to even look at that side, it was gross... caked in layers of fat and grease about 2cm thick!!! Grandad had to use a paint scraper to get the worst of it off and look how sparkly it has come up!! It's amazing, good as new!!!

It is grey inside!! who would have known...

We are still having fun in our garden, I had done more on digging up the brambles and weeds. I disturbed a giant frog today, he hopped along most put out about it but found a new sleeping place under some stones.

Tim and I also went to Debenhams to do our wedding gift list today, was lots of fun zapping things with this hand held scanner!!! We still need to add a few bits that weren't in the Derby store which we can do online. It felt very strange putting together a list of presents we would like, we are just SO incredibly grateful that so many of our family and friends are making the effort to come to our wedding, we would rather that than pressies. We are going to make sure everyone has a fantastic time!

Tim is busy starting our fire place at the moment. It is going to look great, bit tricky as we need the gas man to come and do some bits to it before we can finish it.

Well better scoot, off to Carsington Water tomorrow we think and Eyam on Monday. Lots of places to visit but the weather isn't that great - very unpredictable!

chat again soon, hugs, gemma

p.s Ant pleased you got back safely, call me on skype when you are settled and not jet lagged. I am on holiday till next Monday so you can get hold of me any time.
