It’s so exciting to hear your plans. So glad you found a better salon. Your “usual” salon don’t deserve your custom if they are rude. How dare they 😡

It must be such a relief to be on annual leave. Hope you have a lovely break

Thanks SH and Skinty

My to do list is getting shorter, as is the day I need to be ready for! Just hair to dye, hair removal, nail varnish and a couple of bits to finish making. Also, finish tidying the lounge!
- I'll slot in a pamper session tomorrow while TomBo's out.

I'm going to my 2nd home for chats rather than doing anything more than watering mine this week. Although, I'm doing light weeding on a plot to help a mate out while they're recovering.

I'm on the waiting list for a minor op after my apt today. Ended up parked at the other side of the hosp compared to where the building I needed was, that was a trek which I really felt on the way back.

Went to a shopping centre and got my brows threaded. After that I popped into markies & s for 'posh' food and booze. Wasn't as badly priced as I expected it to be. A&U's recent lunch, and previous event, demonstrated its niiiiice; MIL also shops there too.
- Grabbed various cheeses, meats, crackers, dips, sausages, bite sized items, cake etc to create a little buffet type evening for us two later in the week. Very indulgent 🤭

Still resting in the evenings, with my feet up and watching TV 😊

Hope you are ok. Never nice to need an operation.

Lovely you had some treats.

It's nothing serious SH, I'll probably be done quicker than waiting for the local anaesthetic to take effect!

I've been to 2nd home, did some weeding to help a mate out, we've planned what section we'll do tomorrow and had a longer than expected catch-up with the usual group 🤭

I'm chilling for a bit and will dye my hair soon, as it takes a few hours to apply, leave and wash out. I may watch a film this afternoon or tidy up some more.

Don't know about the weather by all of you, but it's baking up here! I'm enjoying having my iced coffees each day 😄 Think it's a bit much for cat as she sleeps on her side with arms and legs stretched out; we've frozen / chilled some of her liquid treats to help keep her cool.

I am rather enjoying my holiday and from this evening TomBo starts his.

Glad you are enjoying yourself

Glad you are chilling. It’s raining here today but hopefully will stay nice where you are ☀️

Thanks SH and Skinty

The weather is really nice, occasional bit of rain in the day with some all night downpours. 

Had an early start to get my mates plot weeded, did most of it before they arrived and together we finished the last bit. 

I've got everything organised, or to hand, for ease of getting ready. Hair / makeup woman is arriving earlier than planned and I'll ensure there's a constant supply of coffee on the go.

I'll be painting my nails in a bit, just have to pop to 2nd home and water toms first.

Hope the event goes well.

Hair and make-up was done, left me 5 minutes to get dressed before the taxi arrived. I quickly rushed round and sent TomBo out to tell him to wait a few mins. 

The photographer was early and waiting for us, we had a catch-up over coffee, some photos were taken and we stepped out for air. While nattering a stranger come up to us and said we looked fantastic. 

We laughed and joked all the way through the ceremony, the registrar enjoyed herself too and got a friend to be our witness, together with our photographer as the other; the tog and I built up a strong friendship since I asked her to tell the story of our day and she was my honourary bridesmaid. Together we made up the UK with all our nationalities.

Afterwards, more photos, random strangers congratulating us, saying we looked great, looked perfect, co-ordinated well, even taking their own photos!

Went for a drink and more chat, before parting ways with our tog so we could go off and eat. We opted for Mexican, the manager passed comment about us being all dressed up etc and I said it's because we've literally just got married. He gave us an entire floor to ourselves and a complimentary glass of fizz each. We had a selection of nachos, tacos, tortilla, dips, drinks and a further portion of nachos. 

We spoke about getting the train home, but I said let's just enjoy the moment and get a cab. 

Now you know why I've been quiet and what I've been up to. A nice, intimate and secret wedding 🎉 I'm now Mrs TomBo 🍾

I've let my hair down but still have plaits and the extensions in, taken most of the makeup off aside from lashes and eye shadow.
- I'm going to get the lashes done again as they really suit me and adore the extensions (extra hair rather than proper extensions).

We've a little reception this evening, just the two of us and cat, with some good films.
