    I'd have to actually make biscuits, and then I'd eat far too many of them. I had a diet coke and some strawberries, it's stopped the cravings.

    PPI letters going badly, I feel like I ought to understand what the letter I'm sending asks of people and yet I don't have a clue!

    Poppy seems scared of dogs and seemed to come from nowhere, but loves my mums cats. OH's Mum has a dog, can't remember what breed it is but OH is worried it's not legal so won't be leaving Poppy unattended there!

    At work today, mouth still in agony...when will this end?

    Awww poor Wendz, I feel so sorry for you :( Did the doctor give you anything? Hope you feel better very soon.

    Ruby, it looks like you need to bring a book into work for days like this! Or puzzles! :) Nothing worse than being stuck at work, trying to look busy and having nothing to do! Makes the time drag so much!

    Sports shops like Sports Direct and JJB scare me, there's always so much stuff and the racks are so high that I can't see over them, I'm not short but I feel dwarfed in there! I daren't let go of OH's hand because I know I'll spend the next 20 minutes walking around in circles trying to find him again! :o

    If you're struggling to prioritise things Dinah write them all on slips of paper and pull them out of a hat! :)

    I've got my Kindle Birdie but I think people will start to say something if I whip it out. Have occupied myself with wedding planning at the moment, trying to narrow down the choice of venues we want to go and look at!

    I've been looking at our guest list and well, if we invite everyone we want to invite it would be 41 people (and we can't afford to pay for that many people) or if we invite the most important people it would be 26 which is more manageable but then we end up leaving out OH's cousin, where as mine have to come because my aunt and uncle wouldn't be able to leave them with anyone here. Oh I'm getting stressed already over it all! Might trim it down to the bare minimum and invite everyone else to a party when we get back!

    Hi everyone - wow, it's been ages since I last posted here! I've been keeping up with posts as much as possible, just not actually been posting due. Hopefully will rectify that now though!
