every week i check out postsecret & my best thing today & enjoy reading other peoples good news or secrets that they've shared. a couple of weeks ago i thought why not join them & send in my good news?! i couldn't believe it when i logged on today to check it & they've put it up ! :) i've been so happy since adam proposed & i get a little jolt of excitement running through me every time the ring twinkles! i'm off to my 1st wedding fair with the rents tomorrow to see how much of their money i can spend on what! :P the planning part is really fun & i've got lots of little (& not to so little) ideas to share with them when we figure out the budget. we're not looking for anything hideously grand or ornate & at the end of the day it's who's there that makes it special & also the fact adam & i are celebrating our love together. anyways enough of that mushy stuff i'm making myself feel queezy! :P x x x

Well I ended up having a great start to 2011 on Friday 7th Jan Adam proposed to me! We went out for a meal the day before our 4year anniversary to a restaurant called The Penthouse, Leicester Square.

2011 - bring it on!

well it's now 2011 :0) HAPPY NEW YEAR! hope y'all had a good ' un ! michelle came down to visit & we all went to drink, shop & do. we enjoyed our free glas of champers on arrival, followed by a yummy sherbet cocktail, a bottle of crabbies ginger ale & finally topped off with a free mug of champers at midnight! we sat & nattered as well as playing connect 4, screwball scramble & yes no! we had a bit of a boogie (the play list was a bit random but had some gems in there!) & counted down to midnight. we also loved the added touch of the free toast from a toaster set up by the bar to help soak up the alcohol as the night went on! nothing better than buttery toast in between sips of ginger ale! we got home about 3am, suffered for most of the 1st (from a hangover, poorly cooked wetherspoons breakfast & the shops being closed!) & felt even worse today! must be getting old! can't believe tomorrow is the last day of our holiday &
