i am so crap at remembering to blog, i am sorry! nothing much to report. infact im not sure theres anything to report...


hmmm






...


i got a new swimsuit. we're of to centreparcs in september and i plan on going on the waterslides and such. i have never ever been on one before. i am shitting bricks!
also there i shall be doing archery!!! and G will teach me to ride a bike all over again (the last time i was on one was 17 or more years ago, and saying it ended in tears is an understatement. we have a photoshoot booked (corny i know but i want to see what they can do) i have a spa session booked also (to give G some time to himself to read or whathaveyou. so yeh. i have a spotty coral swimsuit :)


i framed loads of pictures and cards and such and hung them on walls and placed them on mantles and such, and the house now looks more home-like, which makes me more relaxed and for some reason, it doesnt look as cluttered now theres stuff everywhere, the clutter blends in... haha :D


i also cant get both my adult bridesmaids in the same place at the same time. and i also might have found THE wedding shoes. theyre purple and G and felicia dont like them and im wondering if theyre too low, but cos i got them at schuh they have a 365 day returns policy and i get married in 11 months so im all good or taking them back if i find others more suited, even if i leave it til after im married!

i went shopping the other day, i bought loooooads of stuff, but, in my defence, some were clothes for centreparcs, some were xmas presents (i am ORGANIZED!) and some were a leaving present for Kristiana Marie, who i shall miss like an arm. some were also little things for me... in my defence, one was a useful diary (cos i dont like my hugely expensive filofax) and some were notepads for work.

that is all. i suck. kthnxbye!




p.s. i have almost fully sorted my study!
p.p.s the living room is PERFECT
p.p.p.s i appear to be getting fatter
p.p.p.p.s glyn has my car cos his has broken (AGAIN!) and it is PISSING it down outside, it is horrific.

shopping!

last night after work i drove the boyf and i to The Trafford Centre in Manchester!

i got a cute denim dress from H&M (whom im still in a mood with for having pretty horrid clothes for 2 years) and a skirt (70%off!) a top and some short shorts (70%off!) some wrapping paper and some pretty things for Georgi who will be 21 this June 1st!

i also had the worst Nando's trip EVER, never going to that one again! tho i didnt get to topshop i may go again one evening next week, without the boyf who seemed to hate the whole trip... (he has really bad back pain and refuses to see anyone about it)

i also enquired at Jimmy Choo Selfridges about Isabel



they dont have them in yet but id like to try them on to see what theyre like with my skin tone and see what theyd look like and feel like on! (for wedding purposes!)

um...

im not gonna put this in paragraphs cos i cant be bothered

-i now have the same color hair as this



which what im aspiring to have by the wedding, length, curls and color.

-we've managed to get thru all my greys anatomy box sets, we're 2 discs into the last one now. we've past whats on terrestrial tv. woop. i have no idea whats left after this. a full season? 2? it think 2.

-our bed has developed a severe squeek. so much so that we had to stop cos i was giggling my ass off at it, which made Glyn start.

-the shelf in the kitchen, which had loads of plates on, about 10 bottles of different types of oil, jugs, tupperware... collapsed. the kitchen was built on the cheap, (the insides dont match cupboard to cupboard, in either kitchen) but anyway they used cheap plastic things that hold up the shelves. they bent. they dropped. we were in the dining room and heard a crash. it took a while to work out what it was as nothing visible happened as the cupboard door was shut, nothing was broken tho. thankfully. annoyed tho.

-2 of my 3 orchids are dying. i dont know what im doing wrong. i might try special orchid food, but some of the flowers are dropping off :(

-im sick of doing washing. im sick of cooking. im sick of cleaning. im sick of looking at piles of detritus, unfinished rooms, and im sick of needing another set of drawers and 2 bookcases from ikea that we A) cant afford and B) cant fit in my car even if we put it on my credit card

-my back hurts, my neck hurts. i hurt. i have so many knots in my back, i cant wait to see my physio on thursday.

-we started watching The Informant. the boyf turned it off, it was boring, we didnt even get halfway thru

-i bought a Swarovski crystal oyster with a pearl set in it for my mum and dad for their 30th anniversary. im amazed cos mum actually loved it. dad had me get her flowers from him. so i did from my new fave florists. she liked them, yet still had a little complain. it wouldnt be her if she didnt. theyre beautiful tho. whether she whines or not.

-more and more ideas are formulating inside my head. for the wedding. not just general ideas.

-crazy weather today, it was very warm, lovely and sunny, and then we got an amazing rainstorm, so much so i set off from my house in the sun, and nearly had to pull over on the way to frannys cos i couldnt see out my windscreen

-speaking of windscreens. mine has a chip in it, the boyf and i were off to Trafford Centre (due to me seeing smoke plumes near the motorway and me wanting to find out why) and anyway, something hit my windscreen, hard, it shook the car, if whatever it was would have gone thru id now be a widow.

-smoke plumes were from horrific moorland fires in nearby halifax

-the boyf is taking me to NYC for my 26th, but it will be his 40th 2 months later, i might incorporate that into it, if i can

-im getting fat

and now im off to sleep, goodnight x

i got stuck in my bra earlier. around my head.

i did. the boyf nearly wet himself laughing. i had a multiway on so it was crossed over my back and i coudlnt get the front hook undone and pulled up forgetting this and it got stuck around my head and i coudlnt get it off... in the end i had to take my shirt off and pull it over my head.

my period has finally kicked in after a 7 week delay. which was weird. i knew i wasnt pregnant (weirdly i just knew- but when i did the test to be sure it was neg). i would have loved to be pregnant, but i have no idea what the 3 week delay was tho. strange.

i need to connect my camera up to my computer and get a few photos up here. well, quite a few actually, ive been meaning to for a complete age. my shopping spree the other week? i took photos, and forgot. i might still put them all up. and wedding-y things also. i know Felicia, Georgi and James @ dayoldnews will like to see them!

tomorrow im off to a mall, tho i cant decide between Meadowhall or Trafford Centre! i need to return a sweater and pick up some save the date cards!

yay

for starters, my friend from dayoldnews has given me some wonderful wedding starting support/advice and im today off to buy some big card for moodboards so i can pin/stick all my loves to it, as i need to come up with some sort of theme...

yesterday i got a rocket up my ass following mondays cleaning and tidying, and when i got up (stupidly early if you ask me) at half eight (im on holiday grr) and started sorting the attic, which i have to say is now clear! theres Sylvainia in one corner, my art supplies in another, boardgames in a third and a few boxes of toys in a forth, but its clear! yay! first time since we've moved in, and i did all in the sliding storage cupboard up there too, as thats where most of the detritus went!

then, i started on the little room, which has wardrobes with all my clothes in, and up til now, stored all my shoes, boots and books and bags and all other kinds of flotsum and jetsam thats somehow worked its way in... anyway, i started on it, then lisa came over and helped me finish it (infact, she moved most of the stuff before i realised) so now all my books and, ahem, crap are in the room im still sleeping in due to the boyfs shoulder and his sudden horrific snoring... and all my shoes?? theyre lining the stairs to the attic, i have loads, im going to get rid of some... as i have (including sandals/boots etc) over 40 pairs. all my sandals are in drawers in my wardrobe, my boots are sat infront of them... just so many! and 85% i cant wear in this weather, which sucks... too cold damnit!

after that we went to my dentist, lisa signed up and i had my teeth cleaned, then talking to my hygenist, she said she'd just add us on herself this aft and jump the queue for us! whoop! so lisa and the boyf will soon have ace dentists!

then... lisa and i headed off shopping to THE TRAFFORD CENTRE, which rocks, and we did a 'bit' of shopping, i ate sushi first, then i bought a keyring, 4 amazing keepsake photo boxes, theyre like, a thick photoframe that you can pin things inside, like scraps of material, or like, a lock of hair, or a starfish or something, yknow, for holidays or babies or whatever, im well excited, and i got money off! then lisa bought a Denon stereo- well chuffed with that (i love my Denon stereo), she amusingly made the guy play Roots Radicals off my iPod really loud to try out a soundsystem! haha, he looked so uncomfortable!

i bought american magazines, a book on Canada (to go with my USA and New Zealand guides so we can choose a bloody honeymoon!) i bought 2 sweaters in French Connection (cos i dont have enough 'nice' clothes) and many many pairs of socks (6 in The Gap and i think 12 in Topshop) and i also got another 'nice' top in topshop and... in Selfridges at the Cath Kitson consession i got a new hangbag, which is green and spotty and marvelous and some earrings with butterflys on and some tote bags (as if i dont actually have enough), then i came home and had lemon marmalade on bread which is my fave snack atm... mmm

oooh, i didnt tell you did i? there was also candy floss, a bag of- from the popcorn vendor outside french connection... lisa and i fair devoured that... mmm
