Two days

Well technically it is one day but don't get Mr M started on that one ha.

I am feeling really a bit stressed this evening. Got a lot to do tomorrow and with flowers, photo collage, sweetie jars and candles all to do maybe I planned too much.

I also have to check it all saturday.

Anyway, I can't wait to marry him and soon will be on honeymoon and the stress of final days planning behind us. xx

One week!

Well one week it is! I can't believe this is it...this time next week I will be so excited and yet bricking it at the same time.

I will be so glad to give Mr M his present as it is driving me mad not giving it to him, and not being able to see him open it is really gutting but I know he will love it.

I can't wait to finally let him see me in my dress and hopefully, I don't still know how, but will look stunningly beautiful and radiant. That's if I can ever drop off to sleep on a night. Nightmare.

Tomorrow we drop off the vases and the seating plan and perhaps go to York for some last minute things, but either way we have a lovely weekend together. Bar the rugby on sun aft.

Got my eyelashes booked next fri morning and eyebrows neatening up. Declined the tinting, luxe HD offer as want to look like me and not like some scary caterpillers have taken over my face.

Anyway, Sex and the city and a glass of vino...perfect start xx

Last week of work...before the big day!

I have made it...it is THE last week before the wedding weekend...I am sooooo happy, even though I have now been made to be on call as well as on late.
It will however pay off if I get called out and stay out as then I won't have to show up tomorrow, meaning...only one and a half days to work! YARIBA!

I love my job, like really do, and the people. But, I am soooooooo looking forward to this once in a lifetime holiday we call honeymoon, and having three and a haf weeks off. It's rare it's going to present itself again in a hurry.

I am ready to get excited now, but until I finish work I am still a bit tied in work mode. But not long, not long at all.

Thurs evening is my family hen/coffee morning which will be ace, then the friday it is my friend from yesterdays rant and I's night out. Hopefully she will show some interest, perhaps even happiness for me, that our big day is nearly upon us.

Anyway...I am finally feeling the buzz of our big day...only a little mind, but it's coming!

Twelve days to go xx

Wedding malarky

Well it is a mere matter of weeks, perhaps a month and a week you could say but I prefer weeks, until the big day. Five weeks tomorrow in fact, so I am starting to finally feel a tinge of real excitement. It is mixed with nerves and stress and a little sadness that soon this day we have been looking forward to so long will be over. Obviously what follows that special day is very exciting and I can't wait to be married and a wife, but it will be sad that the big day has gone.

Before, say up to a few weeks ago, I thought I would definately not be one of those brides that gets the post wedding blues/come down type doodah. But I can see that I could quite well be one, it is afterall such a big exciting thing you look forward to.

We have a lot planned in the next five weeks, every weekend in fact is booked up with fun weddingy things! It will blimming well fly by until the big day, I almost want it to slow down just a bit.

Tomorrow we meet our photographer, I am about to embark on a make up/outfit/hair/jewellry trial on my own to see what look to rock tomorrow. Outfit is more or less sorted, a bargain I picked up in the H&M sale, peachy dress black cardi combo! Tights and Prada flats! Oh yes, Prada, I own those now too to add to my collection!

Mr M has his suit, a gorgeous Reiss grey number which looks just divine if I may say so! Took some finding mind after he had his heart set on a Ted Baker one I didn't like...pinstripes.

Anyway best dash Mr M just got home and need to tell him the hair trial tale...xx

Playlist

We are tonight, putting together our wedding playlist!
I have put this off for soooo long simply because I am very excited and wanted it to be the right time. Means, being able to drink, lay in next day, and not be too far off the big day. Seven weeks away not too far I don't think!

I have wine, crisps and dips, candles and my dancing feet on! Obviously I need to practice dancing to each cool song and also rehearse each possible first dance!

Yays! xx

One week

One week until christmas! This time next week I should be finishing work soon and getting picked up to go to the in laws for christmas presents and food buffet thing. But I am most looking forward to boxing day, our one day off over christmas together and hopefully will have a perfect day.

I have been today to get the first of Mr M's presents which he should love. And also got some yummy treats for boxing day, I am envisaging some sparkling wine for breakfast, with chicken liver parfait on toasted bread, with chutney. Then have some melt in the middle camemberts for some point in the day. We wil have our presents to open and then just a lovely relaxing day! A nice walk with chocolate bear and when we decide what, hopefully something yummy to eat. But then working the following day which is a bummer and wish I had not put down for it but it is all for extra money the last payday before the wedding.

Our honeymoon is shaping up slowly, booked the fab spa hotel near the cottage, or as Mr M informed me, in the same country...not meaning it's next door haha! Booked it for the two nights prior to the cottage, and have booked a michelin star meal for the first night there! WOOO!

Then Em, our wedding planner is organising a special rate for us to stay at Mal in Newcastle as this breaks up the journey to Scotland and gives us a day to shop and city it up. Hopefully the first few nights we will stay at Grassington in our fave place and have a total relax and food it up.

I am so excited about the honeymoon, just as much as if it was somewhere in the carribean. Probably more due to no flight!

We have also nearly booked the cottage in the south of france for sept, just need to book greece in July and will be looking at a year of fabness!

Loving the gym at the mo but managed to get a blister so just swam today. Mr M been working.
I have been watching show jumping, my fave! And had some lovely walks with cooks.

Got over my bug and now just got two and a half days to work this week til the weekend and then the following weekend we have 4 days off together which will be bliss.

Got a lovely party planned for new years eve with liz and kids, got games food and drinks, then it will be all focused for less than 2 months til the wedding!

I am so excited and so happy and cannot wait to be his wife and just hope we have the bestest day ever.

I am going to make a lot of flower arrangements myself I think too. I keep playing about with things.

Right merry chirstmas, I dont know if I will post again before hand so I will probably write again when it is 2 months to go!! x

Three months

Until the wedding that is, I can't believe it is so soon! I also can't believe I am still pretty relaxed and just excited more than anything.

We are off to Mal for the weekend and to taste the menu!
Good times!

Day off

Well I was out until 3am, not great but managed to drag my arse out of bed at 10.00 this morning to avoid the dreaded insomnia tonight.
I am not doing a bloody thing though today, it is total relax. I look around the house and there are things I should be doing like hoovering, cleaning the bathroom, the kitchen. But am I gonna?? Nope.

I am going to visit the sister at 12 then the gym at half one then Louise's at 3. So busy aft but by no means in a choreful way.

I can't wait to see my boy this evening. And the weekend is edging closer thank the lord.
I am managing to stick to my resolve (or the one Mr M gave me) to stop thinking about the wedding for a few weeks. I'm not really sure if it is a bit close to the wedding to be stopping thinking about it for a FEW weeks, but certainly this week I have closed down on it. I do however have a few things left to get before christmas, but Mr M thinks these can be done in Jan. I tell you Jan and Feb are going to be the busiest months going!

I am super excited as booked the dress fittings, got one on the 7th Jan one on the 13th Jan, and then the first DRESS fitting on the 3rd of Feb. The weekend of the Where's Wally hen night from work, that should be a great weekend! The thought of putting on "my" dress finally is making me jump up and down literally! It must be something of a first for a bride to try her actual dress on just a couple of weeks before the big day non? I can't wait. I have also been told in no uncertain terms that from the 13th Jan there is to be no more weight loss! The month leading up to the biggest day of my life these women think I can eat as normal!!! Are you shitting me...I will have all on to sleep, eat, leave the toilet! I can't  imagine how I will feel, which means the option of having a button up back are limited.But rather safe than a saggy dress on the day right?

The diet is soooooo on form!I am off to the gym this aft for more army style arm blitzing! It will be a right gun show come wday!

Finally!

I have fixed the blog and changed it a little bit so that I at least like looking at it again. There are a few more tweaks I want to add but will try and get those done tomorrow.

I have inherited another call tonight thanks to someone being sick which I don't mind too much cos the money is great, and with David's house being delayed more and more each day it will be much needed.

The only bummer is I don't know what time I will be home again, it could be nine pm, 12.00 midnight or 9am tomorrow morning. Who knows? I just hope it's not as bad as 9am tomorrow cos that will make seeing the trainer a whole lot harder than it already is!

This weekend I cannot wait for. We are going over to Mal to stay overnight, sample the wedding menu, do some shopping, have some drinks and just relax for a night away. It will prob be the last time before the wedding...though we were planning on a night away the weekend before the wedding so will see. It's all money related sadly.

Maybe it wasn't the best idea to get married a mere two months after the expense of xmas?

Bad blog lady

That would be me. I am admitting here that I am rubbish at writing on here of late. Terrible in fact. And it really bugs me, I read other blogs and think god I need to write...and then I do something mundane like hoover or go and wash the floor.

So, maybe I will get better at this as time goes on. The sight of my blog also is bugging me, I want an overhaul but due to my technological lameness I have no idea how to make it look more me and less generic blog. I WILL attempt to rectify this as soon as laziness allows.

My plans are moving along swiftly wedding wise and nearly 3 months to go and still totally as calm as a really cool cucumber. Picked out a few wedding rings and will be going back to pick a winner hopefully next week. Wow, I wish I could be wearing it now, I love how wearing it made me feel. My finger is blatantly bare without those other 2 (yes I am having 2) rings on it to keep my engagement ring warm.

Mr M is just back from fetching pizza, wine is open and film is in. I love today. I am also bobbing in and out of moody swings. Hate that.

Will make mental note to come back soon. x

Back

We are back from holiday, which was far too short by the way. Though long enough to eat enough to gain half a stone. Not great.

I am so back on the wagon strictly style, apart from I am yet to venture into the gym...it's coming though tomorrow. Painful won't be the word.

But it is 4 months tomorrow until the big day and I know how quickly it will go, even though right now it seems a million years away. I just want it to be HERE! And to be slim. Not much really.

I am being kept company today by my lovely niece Emily, and have got some ironing to work through. How rock and roll I am.

I saw some awful pics of my ex...love it when that happens. I cannot believe how bad he looks.

I had a hair disaster last week when Mandy coloured my hair and it went orange. Not good. Now it is darker. It was what it took to get it to look less chav, and will just have to get highlights in a bit more often leading up to the wedding to get it blonder again. Not too bad and it looks super shiny now so that's a bonus.

That's about all I can be bothered to say at mo. Gonna start my blog post for RMW and try to make it a really good one, I have my list armed of weddingy bits to chat about seen as my last one was not so weddingy.

Come on wedding day...hurry up.
