    Where did the last three days go?:o

    It's less than four weeks until the wedding and things are slowly falling into place. I still keep thinking i've missed something major but everyone seems to think everything is under control.

    It's been a bit of a spendy weekend. I had a manicure and pedicure on saturday and for once I sat perfectly still and didn't smudge the nail varnish and it remains unchipped (I usually chip it within 24 hours!). I have also picked up a few make up items - I don't need them but I want them. I have promised myself that I will wear make up more often.

    Yesterday was more shopping to get things for the wedding; spending the evening with dad and then a late cinema show.

    Today I met my cousins to check my foundation and then decided to get some underwear. I went to a department store and the size is so different from M&S. The new size really was far better - I bought two bras in store and have come home to order 4 more from figleaves - all reduced and with Quidco cashback too. I am a bit nervous about spending so much on underwear and knowing that I am losing weight but - as Hypno has also said - it will be a good investment .

    Everything seems to be coming together - except the weightloss. As i get more stressed I crave chocolate. I'll try to reign myself back over the next three weeks. I can still get to lose 1/2stone by the wedding.

    Waving to you all

    Thanks guys

    Amazing what a good bra can do for you!

    Wedding date is 28 May (Friday) and there will be festivities over the weekend following.

    I've got the day off tomorrow to help dad with something and will hopefully use some of the rest of the day to catch up on the housework/decluttering. I plan to get up as though I'd be going to work and get started on the ironing before meeting dad.

    It's two weeks to the wedding! I have mostly been excited recently but everything has got to me tonight. I have had a really busy week and was up today at 5.30am which not normal for me (must be stress!).

    Anyway, most things are in place and I am trying to get things closed off. It's really hard at the moment. Everyone offers to help but it is a) hard for me to let go and b) when I do give in to offers I have been let down. The goal posts have changed a couple of times and it leaves me having to run around and dad keeps saying 'we'll do that next week'. I had to have words today as next week is a week before the wedding and it should have been done by then! I've had tears and tantrums but am hoping that i've got it all out of the system.

    On top of it all, the downstair's neighbour's daughter has taken to slamming the door and it shakes the whole house. I tried to go and have a word but they didn't hear me at the door so I jumped up and down really hard to get the message across. I'll have to have a word tomorrow. They are lovely neighbours most of the time but I hate having to have a word.

    Right, a good long drink of water, a hot water bottle and I am ready for bed.

    Night.
