    Hi everyone,

    Love the outfit Birdie, I am sure you will look great in it.

    CMD - glad all is going well with Evie, well done on the bfing. Just shows is different for each baby doesn't it.

    I do like my job and want to stay in the career so is the only reason i am going back, plus the maternity pay for next baby.

    OH has been looking for a new car for a while and found one he liked which we looked at today. We are paying for most of it with part exchange and OH's Overtime money but borrowing a bit which we will hopefully pay off before we need to. Good thing is it will come with mot and service and we are getting a 2 year warrenty so won't have to worry about things going wrong.

    Ooh happy new car Wendz! :D

    Phone deal sounds good Dinah, hope the billing nonsense does indeed work out for you!

    Had a nice afternoon getting prettified, had a hair cut (last time I had it done was June! I'm terrible at getting regular trims!) and was MSE as had a dry cut so very bargainous and quick! Got my nails done too, talked the lady into painting them pink and putting white polka dots on them, too pretty! Hope Minnie approves! ;)

    Off to clean the flat before MIL comes round to clean next week so she doesn't think I'm a dirty mare (:o) and finish my packing... very excited! :j

    See you all in 2 weeks! :D

    So exciting! Have an amazing time, can't wait to see pics!
  • Ooh that sounds good wendz, sometimes having piece of mind is worth spending a bit more.

    Aw CMD sounds like everythings going so well, have we seen any pictures yet?

    Hope the phone goes through ok dinah, sounds a good deal!

    Went for meal last night hoping to get 25% early discount, turns out was student night and we got 50% off with our slightly out of date student cards. The service was rubbish so don't feel bad! But it didn't really matter as we had so much to catch up on, nice having everyone back together after uni before I imagine we all splinter off again

  • Hope you have an amazing time Birdie! Can't wait to see the pics when you get back!

    Sounds great about the car Wendz and the phone Dinah, hope it all works out.

    I'm off to my first night shift at work for a while, actually my first shift at work for 2 weeks! I might be lurking around here later if I get bored!

    My goals are by no means all MSE either - will be posting my fitness goals too, although mostly those are on myfitnesspal. Feeling a bit smarmy today as I got up and did JMs Shred before work, woke me up well and got it out the way. Missed yesterday so only 4 days into it rather than 5. Decided that stabby pain in my side wasn't to be ignored so gave it a rest, its gone rather than making it worse, and I'm right back to it.

    Glad the stabby pain's gone! Didn't sound good :o Well done on tackling Jillian first thing - I always feels super smug if I do it before work too :D I did spin tonight and my thighs are killing me, hope I'll be able to walk this weekend.

    I quite like the sounds of Cinny's ribbon challenge, especially when your body must be changing much more than your weight. Well done already though -you must be working very hard :)

    By the way, absent Tete (hope you're ok!) you looked super slim in your post-GNR photo, if a little bit knackered... :o

    Have a BRILL honeymoon Birdie, look forward to seeing all the pics and you'll absolutely wear that outfit better than the girl on the blog!

    PS. Dinah, came across another shop that looks like a potential stockist - www.sparksyard.com - it's lush!

    PPS. That's good about the car, Wendz - LOL at you being bribed by a McD breakfast in bed!
    Hey to everyone else too :) Hope work isn't too much of a shock to the system, Ruby! Any more wedding plans?

    Is there anything we can do to help Dinah?? I have a bit of spare time on my hands since finishing work (got loads of things I *could* be doing though :o ) but I'm happy to help out if needed

    Thats so sweet of you thank you. But all my delays at the moment are getting the designs right and printed. And when I say right I mean liveable so I can launch, I can't get designs that wow me so I'm looking into either what software I need to do it myself, or hand drawing the designs I want and getting one of my designers to digitise them for me.
