2012 in review

As 2012 comes to a close & we all get ready to welcome in 2013 I thought I'd do a quick review looking back at my resolutions.
*taking the whole 'married couple' title to the extreme!* 


All in all 2012's been a pretty ace year! I started it a Miss & ended it as a Mrs (not that you'd be able to tell from my blog name, I'll get round to it one day honest!), which brings me nicely onto my first resolution....

~ get married.
TICK! Still doesn't always feel real, though I've just got my new bank cards through with my new name on & my passport's been changed so it's slowly sinking in. It was so fun getting a husband card for Adam this year & referring to each other as The Ps (twee but we like it!!).

~ pay off credit card.
TICK & RUB OUT A BIT. I managed to get everything paid off & it felt brill. A few bits crept on there towards the end of the year (I did the stupid "I'll pay it off at the end of the month") but I'll be free of it pretty soon.

~ loose weight.
HMMM! Moving on! ;-)

~ stop trying to keep everyone happy.
TICK (mainly). I'm quite chuffed I've kept to this & I think the fact I made sure I was happy made other people around me happy too. So yay for this one!

~ do what you want, you don't need to worry about what anyone else thinks.
TICK. Think this one was most obvious at our wedding where we let our personalities shine through & did exactly what we wanted. It resulted in a day that was so individual & everyone had a great time!

The others that are still on going are:
~ I must read most of the books I've bought - this might fall by the wayside a bit more now I've got a kindle! Yoink
~ I need to try taking out my roller skates at least once - can't believe another year has gone by & they haven't even left the coal shed (apart from an airing after the leak!).

Well roll on 2013 & let's see what the year brings. I just hope it goes a bit slower than 2012!

Ttfn x

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...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
