    So, I have had the best half term :) I feel really relaxed and much less stressed, and, best of all, got to spend all of it with OH who managed to get the same week off :)

    I am however glad it's the end of February. I can't wait for Spring and then Summer - I think that the cold spell has gone on way too long! I'm dreading getting our next electricty bill as we've had the heating on high for ages - our house is just so cold :( there are drafts and there's laminate flooring, and because it's not our house, we're only renting, we can't change it! So it's been a cold and chilly winter. So goodness knows how much it's gonna be :(

    But, onwards and upwards! I asked my last two bridesmaids yesterday and they are so excited - they didn't have any clue I was going to ask them! So that's exciting :D I just want it to be here now! Although I know I have lots to do still.

    But yes, a very happy SF at the moment :)

    Yawn, so tired!

    I don't know what it is, but the night before the start of term, I can hardly sleep at all. I definitely need an early night tonight so that I can function properly tomorrow.

    Got some more petrol today - it's so expensive :( hopefully it'll last for a while, and I'm hoping that the price won't go up too steeply in the coming month, though I have a feeling it will.

    Will do my March aims later - when I've thought about them :)

    Aims for February:
    - Lose 5lbs
    - NO chocolate [:eek:]
    - Put £200 into the wedding savings.

    Here's to a good February!

    Oh dear, I really haven't done well for February :( I haven't lost any weight, I have eaten chocolate and only managed about £150 into savings. Both me and OH have had our car insurance due this month, as well as being away, but still. Disappointing :(

    Aims for March
    - Lose 5lbs.
    - Eat NO chocolate (I'm really going to try hard with this one)
    - Put £200 into wedding savings
    - Send out Save the Date cards

    I need to focus more. I can do this, if I put my mind to it :)
