****Littlekel's diary - Getting on the right track :-) ****

Hello!!

Have a great day yesterday! I was soooo proud of my girlies

We went geocaching - had another 13 to find on the trail we had started.

We left at 11.30am and got back at 4.30pm! They were walking for 5 hours!! They started whinging and getting a bit stroppy which was annoying but i had to remind myself that they had been walking for AGES!

Lots of hills and mud etc! Found all the hidden caches. Then to MIL's for tea! No spending! - will have to update my nsds!

Have to pay for ballet this week. With DD2 starting on saturdays it is billed now rather than pay as you go. Plus she is starting tap. £200 a term my bills will be :eek::eek:

This week i have made up my 101 things in 1001 days list. Though i have only got 89 at the mo. I want to leave some space for other ideas that crop up!

here it is for those interested :D

I found a perfect tree to carve my name in but didn't thinking advance to take a 'tool'. Luckily it is near to MIL's so i can pop down there!

30 geocaches now - a third of my way to 100 which is my goal!!

Might make a start on learning to write my name in japanese!!!

I hope all is well!!

Had a productive day.

Found some PERFECT invites for DD's christening. All others i have seen have baby referenes on them and she is nearly 5! These have a cartoon style hill with trees and a church on top in pastel colours.

Also finally got to meet baby Leyton! Saturday was cancelled! I had mixed feeling of broodiness and a glad i don't have to change curry like nappies and get up in the night kind of feeling!!

Worked today so that i can have tomorrow off for wedding dress shopping. Just want to see what kind of style i will like really.

For DD2's christening present my Mum and I have gone together and bought her this

I am going to start work on it straight away and fill in her first 5 years of her life and then at her christening get everyone to sign it as a guest book. Then carry it on like a life scrapbook! I absolutely love it. Maybe make this one of my day zero things!

Oh !!!!!! - i thought i had an NSD but remembered i bought wrapping paper!

Need to remember to pack my Next returns up tomorrow morning

Need to budget the rest of the month. So will pop on with my plans for tomorrow.

I hope everyone is well.

Hi Kel, had to laugh about your comment about nappies and getting up in the night. I feel exactly the same about more babies at the mo!

Yay to you getting DD's pressie sorted out, I have those sorts of books for my DD's too.

Hope your well x x

Sounds like you have been mega busy, bless the girls for walking that far!

Hope you are having a good day dress shopping, can't wait to hear how you got on

I pretty much have a dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first shop i went in to i knew the lady was absolutely lovely but also that the dresses would probably be a bit too expensive. I narrowed it down to two that i loved. Then she let us know the prices. The one i liked slightly more was £1200 and the other £455 so that done it really. Then as the second one fitted me (though can be taken in if i lose more weight) and it has a beige part of it and i liked that colour - she said if i tool that one in the shop then i could get 25% off. So would be £341.25!

So i was happy as larry. Then we had the second appointment and i LOVED 4 dresses in there. All of them being £600-650 though. I don't really want to spend this. One of them in particular i really loved so thought i would look online on the china websites to see if i could get any cheaper. I can't find it anywhere though.

Sooooooo i think i will go with the first one. I know i loved it at the time it was just hard to remember it after trying on another load of lovely dresses. I am going to take my nan in to see it as she said she would give me 200-300 for it. So i only need to add another £41.25

Mum bought my lunch and then i bought some sheets of paper and vellum to make some samples of the save the date cards i have designed! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Big waves to Jody, Jules and M2G :j

Yay! That's an amzing price as well :j

Do you know what the designer and dress name is so I can try and get a sneak peak .

Glad it went really well, I don't think I really did the whole dress shopping thing, I just bought one from the 1st shop I went in! That said, I have an agreement with a work colleague that we will both go dress shopping when one of us get's engaged :rotfl:

Well done Littlekel !
I ended up with the second dress I tried on - my mum and the lady in the shop made me try on another 3 or 4 to make sure that no 2 was "the one".

When is the wedding?

OrangeFairy

The wedding is May the 11th in Cyprus. :j:j:j:j:j

The dress is extremely lightweight which is perfect.

I will put a link on later. I'll keep it on for a couple of days and warn OH not to look. He sometimes reads my diary!!!
