Bessie mate bonding

In August, my pal I've known the longest, Michelle, got married to a lovely chap called Matt.

 July saw us all see Michelle off with a fab hen party... it was a rainy start but nothing was going to dampen my spirits... tea was drunk by the gallon... followed by Prosecco and beer... trashy tv watching and gossiping... secret hen party decorating ready for the next day... cuppa tea in bed... surprise decorations... what party is complete without a giant inflatable cock?! (don't worry mum, not what you think :P)... more prosecco... garter making... nibbles and more plonk... escape room sadness... private room bowling fun... boiler maker awesomeness... Tiger Tiger fun and a much needed late night... 

 Then before we knew what was happening it was time to start the run up to the big day and finally the day itself.

starting the road trip up north... rations along the way... stopping off to collect Michelle's mum... tea (what else when Michelle & I are involved?!)... 1 day to go... wedding speech notes... biscuit packing production line... tea... checking on the venue... yet more tea... gin and tonic ice lollies... a tea toast to Michelle's last night of freedom... wedding day cuppa... the getting ready begins... Jane's birthday... bridesmaid gift... still more getting ready... pressie opening... flower arrival... paparazzi arrival... getting in the dress... #teambridesmaids... setting off... the serious ceremony bit... the new Mr & Mrs... finally getting to see my hubby and enjoying a well earned beer... biscuit munching on the coach... while Mel & I got congratulated on getting married at Gay Pride(!!)... reception venue arrival and confetti... dutch courage before the speeches... reapplying lippy via the knife method... speech time - eep... celebratory Guinness with the Best Man... first dance... much more dancing (including Steps - obvs!)... Pasty magic... photobooth fun with the parents... clearing the hangover and tiredness with, you guessed it, more tea!

 It's very belated but still a huge congrats to you both... love ya loads and can't wait for the next catch up!

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...
