    Oh no! I hope they resolve it quickly and let you complete! Shame about the rent but looks like that might have been for the best now. Got fingers massively crossed for you it all goes through OK.

    I am sure you will look lovely, don't worry about anyone else just enjoy and smile lots and you will naturally look beautiful :) xx

    Thank you! It is hard paying off that much and having all the pressures etc... but thank you so glad it helps other people I know how much I loved the diaries when I first started on this journey...

    Latest on the house is that the top of the chain is having issues with asbestos and require a further survey happening monday. Hopefully we will then be able to exchange late next week....

    Morning all!

    So the wedding was lovely - although I took most of the photos so am hardly in any haha (good tip btw).

    I ate far too much so being very good over the next few days in the hope I don't gain too much this week.

    I also fell in love. With a puppy. We are now looking at having one potentially.... I AM SO EXCITED I have wanted a puppy since I was tiny and we could never have one. She is a mixture of a couple of breeds and gorgeous and chose me so I really love her.

    House wise we should have an update today but it is pretty frustrating... the survey was done yesterday but there is just so little communication. Will update everyone as soon as I can!

    xx
