    Thanks Archers! Really was exactly what we wanted :)

    Now I get to do all the fun name changes! Although we are getting a joint account so at least I don't have to worry about changing the name on the account I have no (at least.. I don't think I do?!)

    When I saw on FB I was with friends and like "omg X got married!" Obviously they were like, who is that? So I'm trying to explain you're a girl off the Internet, who I've never met, yet who I'm very excited for! They think I'm nuts :rotfl:

    Popping in to say congratulations Cinny! Saw it on instagram and had to do a double take!

    I'm so confused about the name change thing too, it's been 6 weeks and the husband is getting a bit annoyed that I haven't done anything about it yet!

    Hope everyone is keeping well!

    Congratulations again Cinny! :j :j You look lovely... one of those annoying preggos who 'glow'! :D

    I've been married nearly 5 years and there are still things that pop up in my old name! :o

    Got the Christmas tooooons on in the office today, making me feel all festive! I stumbled across a CeeLo Green Christmas album last night which I'm looking forward to sneaking on when everyone's bored of Buble! ;)

    Loved your wedding photo, Ruby! Was very artsy :)

    That glow is all lies, Birdie! I followed Milk's Legendairy Looks for the standard pretty face :rotfl: S&G Peach Party is the only thing that's made me look alive these last 31 weeks :p

    I just can't believe how many things you've got to change your name on?? Plan is to do the big ones (minus the passport because I think that runs out before we're planning to go away anyways) and then just change the smaller things as/when.

    I've been amping up the Christmas music too! Can get into full festive mode now the weekend's out of the way. Can't quite get my head around Christmas being next week? It's not even cold :(

    I know, I lost a week yesterday as I thought next Friday was the 18th then had a mild panic about not being ready for Santa! :o

    You know there's something wrong when you're following a Drag Queen's advice for make-up! :rotfl:

    I wish I could say it was the first time :rotfl: Actually, the first time that I felt massive movements with kiddo was when I was laid in bed watching drag make up videos :cool:

    I keep getting mixed up with it being on a Friday, I don't even know why it being on a Friday is having such an impact on my life? At least next year it's a Sunday so there's some kind of routine to it!

    I only just did my passport. Keeping my name as makes it easier with the kids.

    Been to Poppy's nativity this morning, she was an angel. Was very cute. Heidi stayed with my friends husband and slept the whole time.

    I am attempting to do some deep cleaning before Poppy finishes school Friday. Going to put oven pride on over night and need to clean fridge etc too.
