    Super excited - I get to see both my girls tomorrow - they are coming down so we can go dress shopping, and also to view our venue.
    Then taking my youngest back to her new Uni digs on Saturday - that will probably be the last time I see her before xmas.

    Looking forward to becoming the 3rd and last Mrs McLauchlan

    That's lovely GF. At least you know she appreciates everything you do x

    I've dropped Lo off at nursery for the morning. Going for a pedicure this morning and having some fancy nail art etc on my toes ready for holiday. Not had one since I was at college so will be nice to have a little pamper. Having my eyebrows waxed too. They look like giant slugs!! Not had them done since the week before the wedding haha

    Need to find a dress for a wedding we've got Saturday too. Will probably take lo in to town this afternoon or tomorrow to have a look

    I took the plunge at the weekend and ordered some earrings and rings from that well known shopping channel, 3 letters queue vee see lol. Been looking at their d1@m0n1qu3 range for years and always wondered if it was actually as nice as it looks on telly. Well the earrings came yesterday and my goodness they're beautiful! Dangerous as I may be tempted now to order more! Waiting for the rings to be delivered, hoping they come today and I'm not disappointed.

    Ooooh thanks Joanna. I ordered a set of 3 rings, they're like half eternity rings, some anniversary deal. Initially I was wondering if I had them for holidays when I don't feel comfortable wearing/taking my actual engagement and wedding rings to where I'm travelling to. Not that I really go anywhere dodgy but then I also thought they're just nice costume jewellery.

    Busy week this week. Monday we were showing a friend of hubby round Cardiff. Good day although Joseph got fed up. Tuesday was my birthday and our wedding anniversary. We had a nice meal in, we're going out on Friday. I went out for coffee in the afternoon with one of the other NCT mums. I've been spending birthday money as well, I've got a spa day to book and some gift vouchers.

    Pump was good, our instructor now asks us to do a star track and I picked lunges today and concentrated on my technique. My legs were like jelly after.

    Lunch was yum. Had a tuna and red onion panini with salad, fries and coleslaw.

    I really need to start exercising again and eating healthier... I am putting on lots of weight very fast! It's so easy to get stuck in a rut though. Generally I don't eat too badly but hubs and I do often have massive binge sessions at the weekend. I've not been dancing through the summer either though, think class starts again next week so that should help.

    Bit gutted. Rings have been delivered, they're beautiful but too big. Need one size smaller. Going to have to return them but they're sold out so they don't have my size to exchange. Such a shame. They really are lovely.

    Today has been so slow at work. Woke up to cat sick all over the rug and a cat that was still throwing up, H2B didn't want to 'disturb' the cat and let it throw up on the rug in the other room...yay me!

    Went shopping with my mum and dad yesterday in Manchester and managed to buy something to wear on my hen do....black which is not what I was expecting but hey ho.
    Just need to keep up the good work at the gym now because it is Skin tight!! Girls at work all approve I did a mini fashion show earlier for them. I originally bought 2 dresses but my dad aid I look too manly in one of them (I have muscles).

    Trying my best to grow my nails as I'm a horrible biter...I know I know it's nasty but I really can't stop, in fact I've bitten my nails whilst typing this I have just realised!

    Thai boxing later and a bath bomb from the popular homemade cosmetic shop.
    Can't wait for the weekend although I know it's just going to be filled with housework and DIY and trying not to binge eat.

    What's everyone else up to this weekend?

    I will be working all weekend as I'm covering sick absence, hopefully it's the last block of shifts I'll have to cover and I can go back to my days on the 12th.
    Me and hubby have had a productive couple of days, been sorting out the spare bedroom. 3 trips to the tip, put new bed together and boxed up some of our remaining stuff xx

    My hen do is not until 12th November but I'm working away for 3 weeks at the end of this month/beginning of October. Then I have some deadlines at work which means weekend working so I'm fast running out of time to shop!

    I'm coeliac, I need to make sure I'm super super cautious on the lead up to the hen and wedding or else it will be ruined. Takes me over a week to get over an episode.

    Morning all

    Yesterday at work went crazy, ran on adrenaline for most of it, then stopped and the tiredness smacked me in the face big time. Did not sleep particularly well either, think Aunt Flo is on her way.

    Day off today, need to do some laundry and some quick tidying round, other than that, nothing else much, I'd love an actual day off.

    Off to the doctors this morning to hopefully get my ears syringed! Have been putting in ear drops for the last two weeks and I think they've made my hearing even worse! It will be nice to be able to hear again properly and not have to have my TV up old lady loud!!

    OH home from Portugal late afternoon - he had a horrible task of having to sack the General Manager yesterday. So I think for us it's going to be a chill out weekend.

    Also started watching C0ld F££t again on the player last night. I used to love this show back in the late 90s / early 00s. Funny thing is watching it last night, I can identify with the characters more now and it's funnier than I remember - probably because they are all 30 somethings and the problems and situations are the same!

    $ky broadband and phones have been down in our area since yesterday morning... they fixed it for all of 5 mins this morning then it went back down again. Absolutely sh1te, will be requesting a credit to my account from them when it's all fixed.

    Their phone lines are probably "down" due to the number of complaints they're receiving. Seems awfully convenient.

    It's their lines which are down, not my personal one. The website is not helpful either. I've just messaged them on the book face asking if they have an idea of how long they will be down for as the website is proving to be unhelpful for what I need to discuss.

    Yeah I know, I saw their lines were down this morning. But I'm not convinced, they've probably taken them down themselves due to all the complaints they've been receiving about the phone lines and broadband being down across the South West!

    Just had a letter from the head of midwifery, one of the supervisors had carried out a debrief on a lady I cared for and thought I was lovely, kind, thoughtful and funny.

    Morning everyone! Morning Emm.

    Been to the gym for my class, popped to the supermarket for some bits and got bleach down en suite toilet to clean later and got laundry on.

    Thankfully last night when I got home I cleaned the downstairs loo and family bathroom before we went out for dinner so I have less cleaning to do today. I put bleach down the loos before I went to work so they were ready to clean when I got in. I did the same last week and I think it's the way to go to make my weekend just that little it more relaxing.

    I've also ordered birthday present for hubby online this morning and went to the post office to post back those rings that were too big for me.

    Later I need to pop up to the high street to pick up some essentials from 800t5, ordered online so just need to pick up from store when I get the message they're delivered. I'll also pick up a birthday card for hubby whilst I'm up there. Hoping the sun continues to shine today, it's gorgeous outside.

    Morning all.

    Never actually got on here yesterday, I worked an early shift, picked up my community bags etc, I was on call last night for the unit and today I am first on call for home births plus working in community. Hubby woke me early with his snoring and I could not get back off to sleep, I tried, then I started to get tired again and it was getting close to getting up so thought I best get up or I would feel worse.

    Last night we had no kids, we popped down to the shop to get something for dinner and ended up going to the burger place instead, everywhere was packed as it is Powerboat weekend here with the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes race today.
