this time next year....

I'll be a MRS! I can't believe it, one year today I'll be getting married!

I know I've been doing the countdown for a while now but now we've reached one year to go it really means something! It's no longer a case of being a year in September, it's now a year from now! I've realised how quickly the days are going to fly & I'm so nervous but just as excited. It also means I can start using my rock'n'roll bride planner yay!
One thing it does mean though is we gotta get going on our to do list, rather then doing the odd things & thinking "ah we've still got over a year to go so that can wait". We've done pretty well so far but there's still so much to figure out & the list grows by the day.

The other thing I need to crack down on is the flipping diet! I was doing well till recently where I've stuck at a certain weight & I've still got quite a way to go so the salad eating needs to begin, the cakes must be banished, the jive shoes need to be brushed & the swimsuit needs to be aired! Bring it!

The other big news, as of yesterday, is I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD ANYMORE! I paid off my last bill this month & it feels brill! I'll have a bit more money left over each month (which will be really welcome) & it means I can start putting a bit aside towards the wedding now as well.

It's not all sunshine & lollipops right now though, we did have one little set back yesterday but these things happen for a reason & are sent to try us, it'll all work itself out even though it's hard to see at the moment. That's all I'm going to say on that point though, there's no need to linger on it or say anymore so let the countdown begin!

How exciting - now the planning and fun begins in earnest, so enjoy it! Lovely to start the year without that credit card, and I hope your little setback was nothing too serious. Life isn't a smooth ride... but that's what marriage is all about too I guess.

Have an amazing year!

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

Ladies what #ldnlunch

Image
After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us ...
