  • We had a letter from our Vicar yesterday asking us which "marriage preparation" class we wanted to go to in the new year! It made me very excited! April is suddenly feeling very close!
    Hopefully over the Christmas break we will put together the invites and if I'm really organised (me? :rotfl:) then we will give our invites out to all the rellies when we see them over Christmas (save on postage :money:)

    Well done on the weight loss Mrs Moore. Think I've probably put weight on! Still, I look at it that if I eat the chocolates this side of the new year, I'll still have a couple of months to lose the weight again after the new year. Nothing further happened at this end (Moon has looked at the guest list and reckons that half his work people won't come, and we're already short on guests now, so we'll have to think further).
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
    I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/2017

  • Welcome fly!

    EEkk, just think, in 3 and a bit days time, our weddings will be THIS year! That gives me a wee palpitation thinking about it if I am honest!

    I need to get back into gear again - have loads of to do
    1) get my bouquet sorted. Had my heart set on a wire and crystal one but now I am not so sure!
    2) get a hairdresser sorted for us all on the day
    3) same as above fo make up
    4) get chocs ordered for guest bedrooms
    5) plan menus - am meeting the co-ordinator in Jan so that will be done then
    6) apply for my passport in my married name!
    7) seriously get back on the diet - have totally fallen off the wagon, so am going to start making an effort in the new year - really need to start taking better care of my hair, skin and body too, so I am in tip top condition! Got loads of products for xmas so will be using them, and recently discovered Liz Earle shampoo and conditioner (free sample w/voucher!), and am amazed at how good my hair looks, so am going to ebay some stuff so that I can buy the full size!

    How are everyones plans going?
