Long time

hey guys, i have been rubbish at blog posting this 2012, I've had problems at work, I'm exhausted and I'm still not pregnant, but obviously that's not stopping everyone else around me being? ALOT of customers at work, and people in the street and now a colleague at works wife has fallen pregnant.
I know how Addison felt in Grey's Anatomy when she said she felt she was being stalked by pregnant women. and I'm not an obstetrician. but i do feel like they're stalking me.

is it too much to ask that, after 3 years, 10 months and 2 weeks of trying, i could possibly just get pregnant?

the hubsters sperm results should have arrived in the post last week. needless to say they haven't. which is why I'm with private healthcare. we'd have them back in a couple of days. and whats more, I'm going to have to go see an nhs doctor to be able to be referred to a specialist that does both nhs and private. private would cost too much so we have to go down the other route. I've not seen an nhs gp for over 20 years. mum transferred me out after our family gp refused to take out my tonsils. turns out i was majorly ill and when mum took me to see dads work private gp, he had them out within a week. lets see if times have changed.

my husband does not want to adopt. and id rather have his sperm than someone Else's, and i don't much think that he would be happy with someone Else's sperm and id really really love to be pregnant. just once. hopefully more times. i really want to be a mother. i don't know where we go from here.

hopefully blogging will become easier tho, as i finally, after 2 years of dealing with a broken laptop, have a brand spanking new desktop, and its awesome. and has windows 7 and is ultra fast compared to my laptop. which has seen better days, but i somehow still need to get all my shit off!

I'm off to Nice in France in a couple of weeks with Izzy and Fran. that should be interesting. I'm going to freak out. i don't work well in a 3 as I'm usually the odd one out.
we're self catering and the lady that has the apartment speaks not a word of English.
in a European City. a really really popular European City. how that's possible in this day and age is a mystery. i don't even know how to ask her for towels.
and eating is going to be a challenge. no lactose, no dairy, no gluten, wheat, rye, barley, oats, kiwi, mushrooms, lamb, aubergine... the list is endless...

its also proved pretty impossible to get to southern France. why? well no one flies there, so we three are going to be spending just short of 6 hours in Zurich Aeroport. lets hope its a damn fine airport and i can get some good grub and have some decent shopping!

in other news, despite eating the same, if not healthier, I'm gaining weight and my facial skin is disgusting. I'm covered in nasty acne. the time that makes you not want to look at the persons face. i do not feel attractive right now. and i went swimming with RedRiv and not have magenta hair roots for an inch or so, then orange/light blonde/pale pink for the rest with dirty blonde roots. it was very faded before but... oops?

Summer here has not been summer, its gone right from Spring to Autumn with some epic Winter thrown in every couple of weeks. i mean, really, wtf.

THE wedding

Heide. this is mainly for you. okay? hush now. :p

so. the night before felt like exam nerves, bu it slept . i could hear kong moving about the house at about 5am tho. so then i was AWAKE. i semi slept til about 7 when my alarm went off and i got up to get ready! bathtime!

izzy let herself in with the keys i had given her the night before, the boyf was in the basement, keeping away (we never saw each other from half 11 the night before til i set foot on that aisle)

then the florist arrived with gorgeous flowers, she had blocked Sam, my hairdresser off in the road while she was trying to park!

having my hair done was the worst. (gorgeous hair, just, the nerves! the girls were having to distract me!)

then the photographer, Vicky, and her assistant Gavin appeared, poor boy, the first time he saw me i was in a HUGE nude bra and wonder woman knickers!

then the best man appeared. literally i had Iz, Sam, Vicky and Gavin running around after me like you wouldn't believe, and Glyn and Andrew never saw me. it was amazing!

at this time, Guests were arriving at the Venue- for example, Fran and Lala (below)



the car arrived just as iz and i had remembered suncream. oh the drama. dad saw me, we almost cried. we got in the big posh car and set off, then had to go home, to grab the readings book! and off we went again. dad and i were, again, crying when i was about to go down the aisle, izzy and arthur went and off i went...





so there there was the register, iz and me, grandad and me, my parents and me and kong, and izzy, rocking out... and below is Iz trying to get off muddy sweaty Hunters after kong and i had gone for pics taking along a muddy pathway up by a bridge!




then theres table decorations, the amazing cake made by mums friend, then me and, what appears to be a FOLK singer cutting the aforementioned cake!




the eve do! the day was perfect, it all went to plan, without a hitch, sure, arthur didnt want to walk down the aisle, and we missed a couple of photographs, but so what? kong left the mealtime music in the best mans car and we only noticed during the mains. thats IT, thats all that went wrong . pretty good going. all of the people that said if i overplanned it i would be disappointed et al can go bugger off to the bermuda triangle. i freaking rock. i do. lol

and look. he even carried me over the threshold!

Hey! long time no blog, im sorry! i hope you havent forgotten about me...?

after the nasty virus computer i have spent less and less time on here. ive deleted loads of stuff off of facebook, and people off there and off twitter and alsorts, im having a bit of a clear out (tho i really need to crack on with my house)

also trying to plan the wedding (so over this, its boring and annoying and i just want to be married AND WHY CANT PEOPLE RSVP?!?!)

and breathe...

so im on holiday this week and trying to get as much sorted as possible. and my hair. my hair. my hair is AWFUL. my roots are fierce and the rest of my hair is YELLOW and GINGER.

and theres nothing i can do. it needs to rest before the wedding. it has GROWN tho. omg has it grown. this past month it must have done an inch, its suddenly past my shoulders. its brilliant!

i had gotten really disenchanted with my dress. when we went for izzy to have her dress fitting, i tried it on again, i like it better once more. ive been having really bad dreams about it being wrong on the day and stressing and such. i cant see the end result. this isnt a room im decorating slowly, or a book display i can swap about, this is a wedding dress and mine hasnt arrived yet, im still only trying on the store copy which is at least a foot too long for me (cos im ickle, obvs) and a touch too tight (cos im a fat bastard) and its currently just wrong. the lady in the shop said this is common, because its out of my control and its not something i can just take home and play with, i just have to wait.

the florist has gone awol. we have heard nothing. i want my quote else i really need to find someone else (if he fails me im just gonna call David Austin Roses in the Midlands for some bits)
and make up? the girl who has been recommended is someone i used to work with in my previous life. she is saccharine sweet and she may be amazeballs but i dont think i want her doing my make up. it wouldn't feel right, so i have called some other people, and only one person has got back to me, i like her but theres not much to see of her work. im waiting to see about the others calling me back atm before i say a definite yes.

im drinking lots today also, for some reason im majorly thirsty, my period has kicked in so i feel shitty. ugh. but so far the week has been good more or less. im going to clear some shit of my hard drive and then go to bed and look at what we cant afford for our honeymoon...

last night i made my own little version of pizzas...

i got a big baking tray, put olive oil on it, sprinkled fresh dried rosemary over the oil and laid turkey steaks over it.

then i rubbed sun dried tomato paste over them all, the sprinkled them with chopped scallions, then pine nuts, then paprika, cinnamon and oregano. and some canned sweetcorn kernels.

then placed them in the oven til they were cooked

and they were gorgeous. had i had and bacon or pancetta or anything, id have thrown some of that on too. and next time i might also try pineapple chunks


the reason for the pizza was that fran and izzy and matt came over and brought pizza with them and we played on the wii all night. it was fantastic and i dont think i stopped laughing at any point (apart from when fran was altering my wii mii)

last night i emailed the florist i want to use for the wedding on facebook.

i asked  

a couple of quick questions if you could answer them, that would rock!
is it possible to get Anemones in late June?

what colours dont work in the Hey Greens mustardy yellowy coloured main room?


cheers x 

he replied

hello there cocker

anemones are going to be a major problem in late june, they have just started to creep back in over the past couple of weeks

the colour to avoid at all costs is pink of any description. the first wedding i ever did there was pink and it looked nothing short of shocking. neutral whites and creams always seem to look the best x

shit shit shit shit. i LOVE this guys work, i pour over the photos that get put up. the stuff he does is amazing!
he knows his shit. and my bridesmaids are meant to be in raspberry pink... turquoise wont go for sure. should i go for navy? i cant have my girls in ivory too. well, i could, but hmmm...

isobel

fran and i went to the pub

izzy was there

fran fancied izzy

i had to start convo with izzy

we invited her to see a movie

and now shes one of my best friends

she's really good at growing mould

not so good at staying at uni

looks gorgeous thin or curvy (i cant get thin damnit!)

snores like a cat purring

am reminded of her when i see polka dots or ska check
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.

on a nicer note...

The wedding party is now as stands-

The boyf is the groom
I'm obvs the bride
Andrew is the best man
Georgi is a big girl bridesmaid
Izzy is a big girl bridesmaid
Florence is a mini bridesmaid
Cerys is a mini bridesmaid
Arthur is a mini ring bearer

I think that's it, all of us!

More good news is that I'm meeting Andrew this week for the first time! As I may of mentioned before, I've never met any of the boyf's family (all down to them) and Andrew is the first of his friends I have met! I have met old colleagues of his before that he loved. And I guess Andrew fits into that category, tho G asking him to be best man must mean something :)
