    Nice to see you posting Mudbath - hope the meds kick in quickly and you can come home soon. :kisses3:

    Yes I'm getting really excited about the wedding (especially now I have peopel there who will be celebrating with us, even if we'll only meet once we're there) now thanks seafarers and fedup - it's less than 2 months away. :j I'm going over to a friend's house on Tuesday after work to discuss plans for my hen-do. I'm not doing the usual go out and drink thing - want to do more of a spa day or girl's night in with dvds and pizza. Will see what my friend has come up with.

    I've got my hair trial on Saturday, and then my next dress fitting on Sunday, and we paid off our honeymoon yesterday, so it's all go now! I'm keeping up with the healthy eating, and trying not to be tempted too often by sweets etc. I've not had fruit toast since January!:rotfl:

    LadyL - I met them on the forum on tripadvisor. They have a Negril forum, and lots of people have posted roll calls for various hotels and dates, and I put a request out for people who were going to be there at the same time as us. They responded, and we've just exchanged some private messages. I've also met a lovely American couple from Conneticut who will be there at the end of our holiday, who will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary there too.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hiya. Just popped on via my phone to say a massive thank you for everyone's love and kind words. It's a massive support. Two my days of IV antibiotics and hopefully I'll be out of here. First thing I'll be doing is lighting a purple candle for Diva who's in my thoughts. Very sad news. Love to you all and fairy poop for LL - hopefully we'll be back to the fairy dust soon!!

    Flying - gave bedside locker a bit of a tidy!!!

    Thanks again x x x

    So nice to see you guys, hugs and prayers to you both...

    Hugs, spoons and sticks to those in need...and coping vibes to those who don't 'do' hugs...;)

    Thanks Dippy :) x

    Going to do a couple of HHA (half hour Admin) need to narrow down a list of first dance songs but my taste is totally different to OH. I like cheesey pop and modern r'n'b, he likes stuff like ozzy osborne and ramstein :eek: Any suggestions ladies? Im listening to magic at the moment and so far i have

    savage garden - truely madly deeply
    righteous brothes - unchained melody (i adore this)
    bruno mars - your amazing just the way you are (dont know proper title)
    savage garden - i knew i loved you
    snow patrol - chasing cars

    i need something we can sway to as we both have two left feet and im thinking with my back that swaying will be more than enough!

    thanks

    Not Savage Garden, TMD.. too predictable and ordinary (and my SIL had that , she actually had that played as she walked the aisle and I hate her!).. and the second one is really rubbbish.. like a poor boy band drivel.. or righteous brothers, too cheesy and done to death.. Chasing cars is a bit depressing, one of my fave songs though.. Bruno one is sweet.. do you want sweet?.. DD1 said it is chavvy..

    We are having a thinky doodle for you.. OH suggested YMCA so I threw an empty chip box at him..

    Ronan Keating.. When You Say Nothing at All

    Read the lyrics it is nice.

    We will be thinking...

    If it helps, we are having Forever and for Always - Shania Twain. Some of the lyrics would work well for you there, as there is a line about "when we're apart I know how much you miss me".
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say
    and nothing else matters

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us something new
    Open mind for a different view
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    but I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for games they play
    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    and I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    No, nothing else matters

    Most peculiar night's sleep so just putting my third load through the WM and have emptied the DW.

    I guess the rain will be here by dawn and I'll have to put the second airer up. Assuming I'm not asleep by then.

    Morning,

    Had a lovely wedding anniversary yesterday. Absolutely no flying done though.
    Today:

    Mr T
    Bathroom
    Vac everywhere including sofas - full of cat hair
    do some admin for my voluntary work
    ebay
    tidy our bedroom
    wash and iron

    It only looks like a short list, but will be time consuming as everywhere is a tip,, and we have no food in.

    Mudbath - hope you're let out soon feeling fab.

    Have a lovely Sunday everyone
    x
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
