I can't believe it's been two months since I wrote anything, I know everyone says this but where does the time go?!
So in the last two months I'd like to say I've done something interesting but not that much has gone on.
My beautiful niece turned one and we bought her a rather awesome pink car, she's now walking and causing mayhem which is fab for me and Az (not so much her Mom and Dad!)
The boy spent 4 weeks working nights which was honestly awful. I don't think I've ever been so bored in my entire life. I vacuumed just because. That's how bad it was! On the plus side though I kept getting surprise post it notes in my little work lunch box which made me smile.
Wedding plans are coming along nicely, I went to my first fayre and touched a wedding dress for the first time which cause massive amounts of excitement, still haven't got the courage to actually get into one yet though!
Found a fabulous hairdresser and someone to do my make up and still haven't saved a fat lot, but we'll get there.
Anyhoo I'm sure there'll be lots to expand on soon, going to be a better blogger and keep this thinkg updated. It certainly helps my brain think through things!

The "Wedding" word causing costs to sore!
Afternoon and happy nearly weekend!
Over the last couple of weeks I've been getting more into planning of the wedding. Despite being made to feel like I'm stupid for bothering this far in advance I feel that as the wedding is actually booked there's no reason for me not to look into things!
Now whilst looking into things i've discovered that the pure fact that we need suppliers means that costs immediately get ridiculous!
For example i had a quote for hair and make up for me and 3 bridesmaids and it came to £700!! £700!!! Now maybe I'm just stupid but how is that reasonable?! And why is it double the cost for the bride? I promse my face is not much larger than the girls and won't require much more make up so why?
Also, £800 bloody quid for a Frank Sinatra guy to do an hour and a half of singing. I mean, eh?!
I'm loving planning but I'm relieved I over budgeted because it's pretty scary how much it all costs!

Another Monday Morning (but really afternoon)
Well well it's the start of another week and I realised I haven't written anything for a while, because I'm rubbish!
Actually I've been panic revising about an exam I've had to do for work (that has absolutely nothing to do with my job) that I managed to fail this morning, needless to say I am not at my chirpiest!
I am however looking forward to being able to sleep without nightmares about computers coming to life and shouting at me for being stupid mid exam.
I also have a feeling that Mr A is looking forward to having his fiance back for a while (at least until I have to do a re-sit)and I must confess to being slightly relieved that it's just all over with for a bit.
Not a lot else has been going on really. I'm having a serious strop at the amount of people that keep pulling a face when we say we're getting married in 2012. Are we the only ones who just don't have a big fat pot of money lying aroung?!
Don't get me wrong I'm not planning on spending 30k on the wedding (I wish I could!) but if I want a photobooth and some fancy cake then I want to be able to. Even if we were keeping it as basic as possible we'd still need to save for at least 12 months!
My Mother in Law to be even made the comment "Well I suppose if you're still together in two years it's meant to be". We've been together for 5 years and lived together for 2 and a half years.
Some people are just silly!

Hanging Head in Shame
I forgot to mention, I have done no exercise in over a week :(
I am completely rubbish and need to get my bum into gear again because I had lost an inch off my hips and waist and that should be a big incentive, self motivation is hard.
I need to confess as well that I ate McDonald's and KFC on Sunday, I had a hangover and Aaron made me.
*Going to hide in the corner now*
Ooops!
I apologise for being MIA for what feels like forever, I could lie and say I've been busy but in actual fact I completely forgot about my blog, it's okay, I have told myself off!
So clearly as I've been away for a while I should be full of exciting tales no? No. Unfortunately all I've really been doing is stressing about an exam I've got to take for work in a couple of weeks, my poor brain needs a break!
To rectify this I will be getting nicely drunk with the girls this weekend (The Purple Rain cocktail ingredients are residing in my fridge!)
I've also made an executive decision to re-start my dring lessons. It always makes me slightly ashamed when I admit that at 24, I can't actually drive.
The sad thing is I have probably had over 100 driving lessons, passed (and let expire) my theory test and feel like a very confident driver already. Unfortunately they won't give me a license based on that so I have re-ordered the practice theory test DVD and found a driving instructor and will be on it shortly!
The boy has very romantically offered to pay for some driving lessons for our 5th anniversary (a hint perhaps that he is fed up of constantly driving?!)
I will keep you updated and I will even be honest about failing my theory test (which will happen).
You heard it first, I WILL be driving by Christmas!

Sand Castle Berry
I have received two marvelous text messages from Aaron today....
"Love you baby my little monkey whistle sand castle berry. I have 1 word for you meow! xxx"
followed by.....
"My camel just did a back flip onto its lady humps and can't fly because its wings have tiny holes which ruins the aviation of it. Melon tree hammock house train xxx"
No, I don't know how his brain works. I believe he was trying to make me smile on this miserable afternoon and he succeeded in making me laugh out loud.
Life with the boy is never dull!
Happy Weekend! x

The weekend is in sight....
Afternoon!
Well I have now completed day three of the Shred, I do not appear to have lost a stone yet so I'm slightly disapointed BUT my legs are working slightly more normally now which is a huge positive. I fell down stairs the other day because I couldn't bend properly which Aaron found highly amusing. He also commented that he didn't realise that I was made of wood. Funny is Aaron.
Today I've been speaking with my wedding venue, checking that I'm allowed a photo booth and casino tables and other things we probably won't be able to afford but that I want. A lot!!
And speaking of venues here, here is mine....
Stunning isn't she?! I wish our wedding wasn't a million billion years away!
