You cannot imagine how glad I am! After all, it's not two weeks to our
wedding now, and I'm constantly haunted by visions of something going
dreadfully wrong, like the guys at the shops misplacing his stuff or doing
it entirely wrong. At least we got the stuff. (And I don't dare thinking
about my dress; the hems need to be pinned but I'll take it home with me to
sew that in the evenings in front of the TV, bad luck or not. I'm sure it

would be worse luck to go with an unhemmed dress. ;-> The sleeves of the
jacket will have to be done in the flat, with an iron at hand.)
However, patience doesn't do the trick. I pretended to be more impatient
than he was, hurrying him in and out of suits, putting on my most
mom's-down-to-business-like tone and it worked surprisingly well without any

major mutiny. But don't tell him. ;->

Ursula, well done! I'm very happy for you that one more
item is ticked off the list of "Things To Do" before the big
day.

Ahem! Depends very much on the DH and DK! ;-) My DH
didn't mind shopping and often went to the (Pendleton
Outlet) fabric store *alone* to pick up the wool for his
shirts.

He was a gem. Mine is a gem except for clothes shopping. then he's a
bear. He does love to go veggie shopping so that makes up for it.

LOL! My DH did ALL of our grocery shopping from 1966 onward
(when I started working weekends in my family's business).
I made the list, went to work and everything was bought and
put away when I got home. Like magic, it was! ;-)
Even after we sold the family business and I was home on
weekends, DH continued doing the grocery shopping. He was
much better at it than I was. It took me three years after
he died to finally be able to find all the sections of the
local supermarket without a map.

Alan has done the grocery shopping for so long that he far better at it
than I am. Occasionally there are slight hitches, but notheing that
cannot be mended one way or another. I plan a menu for the week and
make a list from that, add in the household stuff like loo roll and
washing powder, and he gets it all.
