    Updated my debt total in sig, all heading in the right direction :T

    Nothing else to report, still feeling unwell so not got much motivation for anything. Hopefully mojo will return and I can get some energy from somewhere to do more!!!

    Hello,

    Am feeling much better guys, thank you. Had a long weekend this weekend to recover and catch up on many lost hours sleep. Feeling more human like now and ready to get back to it.

    I'm very excited that wedding is so near and OH and I get to become husband and wife :j:D:j OH has his stag do this weekend thurs - sun. Think its bit strange for him as he's been so used to going to others stag do and this is his own, lol! His best man has been great in organising it, he just has to turn up. They're off to Rome - will have a great time i'm sure.

    So, now need to focus on four things -
    1. Diet
    2. Exercise
    3. Wedding
    4. Debt
    Sadly debt does have to come to the bottom of the list until we're back from honeymoon but I will try and be good when and as I can however with wedding to finish planning/pay for, dress to fit in and a hen do coming up I don't think i'll be working any magic on it. Just making regular payments.

    I need to meal plan a little as put on a few lbs due to being ill and comfort eating mainly in form of chocolate and takeaways - waist is feeling thick and also not been able to exercise due to beign ill too....rubbish :( However, have a combat session booked in for Thursday so that's my starting point. OH is away so will aim for a nice detox/healthy weekend.

    Right back to work for me. Meeting florist this evening :)

    xx

    Glad you are feeling better Choc

    Enjoy your meeting with the florist! A different contrast with my flower experience! In Cyprus i was given a book with a handful of choice and just picked one! We only needed them for me and the bridesmaids. The hotel put flowers they had out on the tables!

    They were quite expensive though and they were coming out of our holiday spending money so the bridesmaids held a single stem each - looked quite pretty though. Can you believe our wedding was nearly a year ago. Time goes so quickly!

    Good luck with the detox. I need to detox but a day of baking today won't help! lol

    Glad you are feeling better.

    Have you had your hen do? Hope your OH has fun on his stag do.

    You don't want to stress yourself out with the debt stuff so as long as you are paying what you need to towards it then I am sure you can focus on it more after the wedding.

    Hey ladies,

    Wendz I haven't had my hen do yet, it's not until April. Very exciting about it though. I know nothing, apart from dates. The girls have been very good at keeping it all a secret. OH is looking forward to his, more to the point time off work. He's had one day off in 4 weeks!!!

    Working a shorter day today so OH and I can spend the afternoon/eve together before he goes off on his travels tomorrow. Think a bit of shopping followed by dinner somewhere nice is in order.

    Florist went well, loads I could do but am trying to be sensible or we'll end up spending a fortune! It's all becoming very very real now and i'm VERY VERY excited to be becoming MRS L.

    Hope everyone else is well xx
