Holiday is here...

and I am full of cold! However, I am on the mend I think! Yesterday was the worst day and I have finally slept well and feel like I am getting back to normal. No more streaming eyes, red raw nose, or drippy/blocked nose. I am soooo glad because who wants to feel that shit on their week off right? Speshly when it is one as fun and busy with wedding things as ours is!

On a side note, I am now back to pre christmas weight already and looking forward to getting weighed tomorrow! Louise is coming back too post baby so slight extra motivation there to be good. I have 7 weeks til the big day and I need 7 off to reach my wedding goal! A pound a week! Should be pretty realistic...hoping the loss of appetite due to nerves will kick in soon. I still am ultra calm and the wedding still feels miles away.

Tomrrow we are hopefully going to pick all our songs, with some wine and dancing, and put our playlists together! Excited!

I don't think oldest sister likes the girls dresses I have picked, they are not bridal at all, pretty silvery green bubble hem with a purple corsage on them. I love them. They are not bridaly. That's part of why I love them. They can wear them again! They won't trip over them, they are not as easy to get dirty. The girls loved them! WIN!

Our cars both needed MOT this month and one already has failed and cost money, choc bear has cost money...all the month before the wedding! Fail.

I will write more on this week off and try and include some nice writing rather than my everyday list of things.
I will also write my to do list on here although it never feels the same as writing it on paper!?

T'was the night before Christmas...

...and I was at chuffing work! Awesome! I am hopefully finishing in approx 40 mins and can be reunited with the man of my dreams and the worlds chocolatiest bear for a lovely evening of currys and wine.

I am also then looking forward to seeing my family open their gifts in the morning and also a little bit to seeing friends at work followed by buffet and drinks and gifts at the in laws.

I am more looking forward to it then being boxing day and having our day of gifts and time together and a good relaxing day.

I am grateful for all I have, all I have achieved in 2011 and all that is going to happen in 2012. Most of all I am grateful for health, of myself and my loved ones. I hope next year is the beginning of the rest of our life and that it is an easier, happier (in some ways) and luckier year than this one has. However, as the saying goes, you sometimes have to have the hard and bad times to make you appreciate the good.

I am a firm believer in this, I just need to remember I am when I feel like stamping my feet and throwing a tantrum fit!

I actually am pretty blessed since meeting and falling in love with my beloved Mr M and whatever shit that gets thrown at me/us I just have to see his face, hear his voice and I am reminded that there is such amazingly fantastic brilliance sharing my life with me. I couldn't wish for anyone better, and I plan on also remembering that a whole lot more in 2012 too.

I also plan on making more of an effort with the old blogging, I haven't done much wedding stuff on here, however I haven't done much wedding stuff full stop. It has been an up and down ride, like all I guess, where more often than not I am wishing for it to be here and then for it to be also be gone and for it just to be us. A couple of married people xx
