    So busy trying to figure out how I'm going to make the day invite and what I'm including and making sure it fits the pocketfold exactly how I want it! That I completely forgot to make the insert for the evening invite! Spent all evening altering my day invite and it's gone from being correct to needing more tweaking! And the printer saying I have black ink yet printing black out as light grey and navy blue as a lighter blue!! And to top it off I cut my little finger on a box so lots of blood :( am going to bed as it just seems to be going from bad to worse :( I love DIY and really want to do a lot of it myself ( with oh help of course lol) once we get into a good routine and I can see some progress I'll be able to see the light but ATM just feel so swomped :( I know exactly what I want but my lovely laptop and printer just doesn't seem to want to play ball! Anyone else getting times where they aprons they are having some struggles?

    Once you get started on them you will get into a flow and get a production line going x can you rope OH in for help?

    Evening invites you can sort later as they don't need to be sent as early as day invites

    I had oh on the pocket folds last night and found it very hard to hand the reins over haha, think I started in a bad note as was constantly sneezing with allergies and was very tired so should have left it but wanted to start, I've written myself a list of what I need to do and know I need to work through that so I can get it all done rather than doing bits here and there as find I'm having to keep stopping. My moh and friend have offered to help but I'm not sure if I can hand it over to someone else as am abit of a control freak haha.

    Why not give them an entire thing to do. i.e. place names or writing the names on the invites when done. Letting them help with the little things can take away the pressure for you.

    True, I know I need to let go of the reins abit, I feel bad though as my moh works full time and has a young daughter and I know she doesn't get a lot of spare time so feel awful filling her time up, might see how I'm doing once I have made all the invites and if I need to will rope them in then. I think I'm stressing as haven't got enough lists written up haha

    Completely know what you mean! My invites are taking forever and loads of little parts to each. I finished the day time ones about two weeks ago and still not got round to finishing the evening ones. Made all the parts its just the pulling together I need to gear myself up for!! I've done 99.9% of it myself as I'm a perfectionist and when my mum tried to help she did it wrong lol

    Hope your printer starts working again and you manage go get motivated

    Haha know what you mean about the perfectionist thing, I can't help but do things myself so it's how I want it lol. Printer still playing up so hoping getting some more ink and hope it works better! Still not made the evening invite although I know what I want just need to decide how many I need of each and actually print them out and make them. Would help if I had longer than 1-2 hours in the evening :( x
