So, last night we went round Debenhams with a little scanner thingy and made our wedding list. I never knew there were such a huge array of things that I had so little opinion about.

Okay, so I care about saucepans and chopping boards and a good pestle and mortar, but whether our bedsheets and towels are the same shade of brown or not? This is not the sort of thing that keeps me awake at night. Of course, I’m not allowed to not have an opinion, because it’s going to be my house too, so I’ve got to make some sort of decision, apparently, even if I really actually don’t care.

Anyway, we’ve now got a big list of things that Naomi is very excited about and that I can sort of give or take but would mostly be happy to trade all of for a 50″ plasma telly. But apparently, that’s not “practical” or “necessary”, and replacing all our saucepans and having a matching 24-piece cutlery set is. I think it’s probably best if I just admit that by getting married, I am signing away any right to be a man I might have mistakenly thought I previously had.

I still think the green plates are nicer than the white ones, though.
