Went out for coffee with OH and got him to pay for my food shopping for the week, which he did without moaning. This is down to my not speaking to him yesterday, which is clearly not a good way to live but means he was "trying" harder than normal today. He even bought me a foundation brush that I wanted. He bought himself a lemon tarte citron which he said I "could share". I've told him I don't want any as I'm trying to watch what I'm eating now but he's trying to convince me otherwise. Really supportive of him :mad:
He has just given me his bank card to take £200 from his account tomorrow and has told me I don't have to give it back. :rotfl: I had no intention of giving it back.
He bought DS and DDIL2B 2 nice bottles of sparkling wine to go with the champagne glasses I bought and would have bought them a bottle of champagne until I told him they don't like it.
He's ordered 12 bottles of wine from a wine club that we are considering taking to the wedding with us as although they will charge us £10 per bottle corkage, this is cheaper than they would charge for each bottle of wine, although I don't think we need to take all 12. 12 bottles cost him £56 and will be delivered on Wednesday.
I've only stomped up the stairs once so far as OH is here and I don't want him commenting on "what on earth" I'm doing as is his want. I will do it later when he's snoring after drinking a belly full of lager. He's currently drinking and watching rugby.
I've just changed our phone package with BT and got cashback for doing so and also got cashback when buying his wine - every little helpsHe still doesn't know about the £60 call to DD :eek:
I'm trying to decide whether to clean my car, do the ironing or finish my cardi, I think the last option is winning at the moment.
I've started my make-up trial and am trialling a really good eye cream on one eye only. I did consider not starting it until after the wedding but thought it's not going to work that well to notice in 10 days. However, OH knew straight away which eye I was using it on, so maybe I need to rethink that decision and restart it after the wedding. I don't think hair over one eye is an ideal look for the wedding really :rotfl:
Did the 5:2 diet yesterday, mainly because I was in a bad mood with OH so didn't really feel like eating anyway. Was really hungry this morning but didn't really notice the low calories yesterday. Hoping this shocks my body into releasing some of its fat. :j
Anyway, off to decide which activity to do.

funny thing was he actually thought I was going to give him the money back when I got paid so when he said keep it, I looked at him a bit blank. I realised my error quite quickly and said thanks.
He only noticed because I mentioned the trial and said DDIL2B was a bit concerned that one eye would look different to the other for the wedding. He then commented that he thought I was using it on my right eye, which was of course right.That's lovely! I'm sure your OH thinks you are as beautiful as the day he met you too! Red face or blue...
I hope so, although I know normally my OH wouldn't notice either unless I made a comment about running out of blue paint :rotfl:Targets

Off to collect my £200, do not pass go, do not return to OH and then to meet the wedding co-ordinator. Not likely to be a nsd, although as its OH money could class it as one but won't.Targets
