    This is just a very quick post as I have far too much to post about I don't know where to start.

    I'm not even sure when I last posted tbh.

    The pampering before the wedding didn't go quite to plan but both mine and my DDILs nails are really pretty and still going strong.

    Hair cut was done well.

    2 days of running around with DDIL and DGDs was very tiring but fun. Felt exhausted and pulled in far too many directions the night before the wedding. Was really glad to go for a bath at 9.30pm.

    DD took DS out to pictures and meal night before wedding.

    DDIL and DGD2 stayed at her mum's

    DGD1 stayed here with me, OH and DM. Kept her up late as thought she'd be up early due to excitement. Had to drag her out of bed in the morning and rush feed her porridge to her to get her ready in time to pick up DDIL to go to hairdressers.

    Back to my house, DM drove me crazy. OH tried to help but couldn't really relieve my stress. DD and I were the last to get ready after fussing over everyone else.

    Wedding was lovely. DDIL brought tears to both mine and DDs eyes when she walked in. Rain was appalling, DD and I wondered why we'd even bothered. All came right in the end though.

    2 days of looking after DGDs went well but very tiring, so glad DD was around to help. She was surprised at how little OH did and how much I ran around.

    Was lovely to have them but nice to send them home. Spent the morning yesterday relaxing, early pm tidying up, teatime went to see DS, DDIL and DGDs before they went out to watch fireworks and then came home for tea.

    I went back to work today and HE was in but I'd had my scan appointment through so left at 12.30 and HE was in a meeting most of the morning so I didn't really talk to HIM. Didn't bother going back to work after the scan, which went well, scanographer was lovely, really supportive.

    Working from home tomorrow and then not sure whether working from home thurs or fri. Friend is boss for next 4 weeks which is a bit strange. Not too happy about it tbh but I'm sure we'll get along fine.

    I can't believe the wedding has been and gone actually. Everyone commented on how nice my outfit was, felt so pleased. Only had a few photos done, due to poor weather, but of those done, I look really nice. Whole family was really nicely turned out actually. DD looked gorgeous as always and DGDs were so pretty in their dresses, DS and OH looked so smart and DDIL an absolutely stunning bride. Everyone had a lovely day. DM, DF and DMIL were slightly badly behaved but didn't manage to spoil the day.

    Will be off line again for couple of more days so probably won't post before this time next week. Hope all is well with you all.
