Mooloo's Joining up the dots in 2017

The wedding went really well. They all looked lovely and the children were all very good too, although their son did join in at the alter quite a lot. DS stepped up to the plate and was brilliant as an usher, a gopher, and a babysitter at times. The groom and his brothers played their guitars and sang with both DGDs2/3 singing on stage as well! They had kept that bit secret from my daughter. She looked stunning and the bridesmaids all scrubbed up well too.
I was complemented on my suit etc and thanked for making the bow ties and hankies which set the men's outfits off rearly well. Although one guest was rather embarrassed when she arrived to be wearing a yellow dress and grey shoes, the same yellow as the wedding flowers, ties etc! But she soon got over it.
We had a great time and the hotel room was lovely and had the biggest bed I have ever seen!
I have been lazy today and really done absolutely nothing, probably had far too much alcohol yesterday. But even my bf laughed, joked, smiled and took part in the silly hat photo had our characatures done, and pogo danced with us all at the end of the night.
All in all I would say it was a success.
Tomorrow they go on a short honeymoon to Malta using his air miles for work and a friend's help with accommodation.
On the return we will be working on the budget repayment etc plans and this week I will be starting on my no Spends, reduced grocery shopping and use up Monday with be more use up July!
I was given a bag of clothes size 16 the other day and they were divided between the twins, although I think twin 1 is delusional that she will fit in some of what she took!
I have 3 weeks just over, until dgd goes to her Mum and bf and I go to Portugal so I am definitely on a mission to organise my clothes and fashion jewellery and declutter the clothes mountains I have acquired lately.
Bar underwear I am not planning to buy anymore clothes unless I sell things to pay for them, and I am hoping to sell a few things to raise some money for replacing the school uniform for September.
Now the wedding is over I am going to get back on track, back to budget and back to basics for a while.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

I can't seem to think straight today. Getting back to work took an effort!
Can't quite believe that all the stress is over, and the Proms are finished. The work load should be slightly easier for a little while. We have two weddings coming up in August booked today and next week for fittings.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

I am just learning about Dropbox
Not sure it would work but most of you have known me for nearly 10 years so as your my friends it seemed right x
I hope Molly41 is well enough to read and look, I miss her and cherish the times we had. Love you Molly41 if you are reading. My MSE friends have been my savings at times xxx
Twin2 is still here with her BF and Dgd is away with the brownies for a sleepover at Twycross Zoo. Told the leader to make sure they brought the right Monkey home.
Take Mum to the Airport tomorrow for her summer with my sister and brother. They play granny ping pong juggling her and their families visits!
I get two months off for good behaviour!
Well honestly I will miss her and our Ladies that lunch days. But I will have time to blitz the house ( theoretically!)
I am off to bed now and hopefully I will have a good night sleep xWhen I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0
