    Well have had yet another NSD, which is all good. have only bought petrol this week, which I am super pleased about, so I seem to be getting sorted, well on the not spending and on the exercise front, the eating cr*p front is a different story!!! But OH goes away at the end of the month so I can start eating better then.

    I'm so glad I haven't succombed and bought those twilight books I keep banging on about. I can wait until someone can lend them too me, and I literally don't have any money to spare, so that's that then.

    Next month is going to be super tight too, need to pay for my dress alterations, half the hotel which OH has paid for!! it all mounts up!

    my old department need something, honestly!!! Trying not to think about it.

    Just been reading up on trying for a baby, and apparantly alcohol is a no no apparantly not more than 5 glasses of wine a week, which is fine, but caffeine is an even bigger no no!!!! I drink about 10 cups of tea a day! apparantly it can take you 50% longer if you drink a lot..... think I'm going to have to break the NSD's and get some de caf for me and OH!!!!! Not good.

    I hadn't realised about the caffeine if you're trying for a baby. You should probably cut down gradually since you could get headaches otherwise.
    Well done on the restricted spending. I love hearing about wedding plans! We'll have to throw you a virtual hen night as well as your real life one!!

    Hey missy, eh didn't get back on today for a quick run down of bread making, so the full shabang will be good at some point!

    As for tea, try to cut down gradually, I went cold turkey when I did a detox last year and as Jellie said, the headaches are horrendous, felt like I was coming off drugs or something, I was ill for 2 days solid!

    When's the virtual hen night? Thankfully it's virtual as the last one I went to was on Halloween weekend and also went to The Rocky Horror show, myself and sister went dressed up, she was Frankenfurter and I was Magenta, I ended up walking about Edinburgh, p*ssed trying to find my hotel (I was alone as had lost sister), NEVER AGAIN!

    I didn't stop drinking tea but once I was pregnant I couldnt stand the stufff. You have so much going on you are prob too stressed to relax but on the honeymoon..............................;).

    I got ID'd on my hen night many years ago, I was 22 and it was an 18 nightclub- back then you didn't have ID passes or anything. My SIL nearly decked the doorman!

    Hope you all have a better day.

    hey my lovelys, thank you so so much for my virtual hen party thoughts, I think that could be good lol. I don't think I'm having a proper one to be honest... not into the whole L plates and stripper thing... tis something I need to think about I suppose..... might speak to my step mum...... lol swinstie, I don't intend to be doing that for my hen night!!!!!!! nooo!

    Ah didn't realise about the headaches from caffeine defficiency, hmm well I will see how I go, I'm on my second cup of decaf!!

    And pip you might be right, but I'm going to try my hardest to get my ody into shape before hand.... so no chocolate as has caffeine in it... which should help. Diet starts today I've decided.

    Hope you all have lovely days, I'm super grumpy and tired today, poor OH having to put up with me, definitely hormonal!
