Its OHs b day today- not sure what we're doing tonight, I'm sure it'll involve alcohol though.

Then its my 2nd hen night tomorow!!! 15 of us are going out in manchester for a meal and then who knows what after... will have to be on my best behaviour as MIL2B is coming ?

oh yes, and got my make up trial tomorow too!

Sorry to rub it in but.....

I'VE JUST FINISHED WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And am about to go home!

Out tonight with a mate who's having a hard time at work so we're gonna drink it out and then gymming tomorrow and running Sunday. So actually a pretty boring weekend planned. Oh also need to take my new Samsung phone back as it keeps deleting all the info from my text messages if I turn it off! Trying to explain that to a Thai member of staff in pigeon English should be quite a challenge.

Not fair - another 8 hours to go for me ?

I am spending the weekend with one of my uni chums in a kind of mini-hen weekend just the two of us (it will be my 3rd!!!) - can't wait for wine o'clock. H2B is on his stag weekend.....

soooo jealous that youre in thailand-the weather is crappy crap crap here and all anyone talks about is the bloody credit crunch!!!!

Happy Birthday!

I'm planning on a quiet one as we've been so busy lately. So probably catching up on the cleaning and laundry and a trip to the park with my little one. Ohh and have my eldest sons tax return to do, oooh the excitement.

H2b is out Saturday night so shall have a lovely quiet evening without having to battle for the tv remote or getting on the pc ?.

Going to Bristol as a mini hen weekend! Getting excited now - too many wedding things going through my head to get excited before!

Just cant wait to get to the hotel!

? Hurray for friday!!!!

Today is my last day at work for 3 whole weeks!!!! I've never had three weeks off from work in total ever in the last 9 years (my whole working life)!!!

Me and H go on our honeymoon next wednesday - 2 weeks in florida ?

This weekend we're out for a meal tonight with some friends who are over from Nottingham - probably a curry

Tomorrow H is at the football and i'll be packing and doing last bits of washing and ironing

Sunday we're off to visit H's grandparents in Chesterfield and we'll go out for sunday lunch somewhere

I am jealous!!! ?

This is the most exciting weekend/few days i've had since the wedding 7 weeks ago!!!

Childs, you'll be near me then Sunday, I live in Mansfield. Plus, if you know Chesterfield, you'll know where we're getting married, Chesterfield Hotel.

Doing not a lot tonight, proberley a bottle of wine and tv

Tomorrow, got housework to do then going to Ikea in the afternoon, not got anything planned for the evening as yet.

Sunday, we're having friends over for Sunday Dinner, so I will be in the kitchen all day lol

Thank crunchie it's Friday!

We're off celebrating our pre-versary tonight at a very lovely french restaurant and tomorrow we're doing loads of weddingy things.. we're going to the venue to see about lighting during the day and the time the sun goes down so that we can determine on photo timings etc for this time next year... control freak? moi? ?

Yep, i know where the chesterfield hotel is. I've never been in but drove past it a number of times and it looks pretty good. Am i right in thinking that it's the one by the station?

Ye thats the one

Yay! Lie in tomorrow!!!

SG

Not for me! I've just arranged to go to the gym for 9am - mad woman.

SG - how's your cold?

Claireac! Was so lovely to chat to you yesterday. I am feeling all better and the whole office has gone home, so I can Hitch. Norty me! And also I had my MRI scan results and they were fine :-)

Gym - at 9am - you are a crazy lady. I am painting the spare room this weekend....fun....

x

SG - was lovely to talk to you too! Good news about the MRI, and the Hitching. I'm just plain skiving today!! I'm very bored with what I have to do at the moment, so doing a bit of that and a bit of this!

I hate decorating. Don't have to do much now we're renting. Blissful!!

When is your big day? Mine is 13 June 2009. I've been trying to put a ticker on, but it doesn't work ?!!

x

Claire - mine is July 25th next year too - nice to meet another Summer '09 bride, its nice to plan and talk about it all with other people who are getting married around the same time!

What do you do?

We bought our flat (in London, just before property crash goddammit) last year and are doing it up v. slowly as I. HATE. ANY. FORM. OF. DIY which H2B doesn't seem to understand.

What do you do? Why is it boring? ALthough anything other than hitching or seeing my mates/h2b is boring at mo, as having a few *health* issues, hence MRI. I forgot you prob didn't know about that as had a massive post about it a few weeks back.

What gym stuff are you doing tomorrow? I love the gym, will prob go tonight

x

SG - we're quite close then! That's nice! I'm slightly wedding mad haha. After saying we only wanted a small wedding and were even talking about Gretna...... hmmmm.

I'm a commercial manager for an engineering company. We manufacture installation equipment for the entertainment industry. We're re-branding at the moment, and I'm sorting out pictures for the designers and printers. All good fun, but it will look fabulous! What do you do?

Will see if I can find your post re health issues.

Just a good cardio workout tomorrow. I've put weight on since I've been living in domestic bliss with h2b! Trying to lose that. Oh and yoga tonight if I can make it. Haven't been for a few weeks but I love it. It's at a tricky time, 7.10pm. By the time I get in with Libby (2yrs old) and we get tea on etc etc it's sometimes difficult!

x

Claire - yeah only about 6 weeks before, so you can warn me of all the stuff I need to know!! We originally wanted a small wedding, but I think I was in denial as my inner Jewish Princess is demanding more everyday (am Jewish) so am trying to stick to my budgets.

I am an office manager for a political/regulatory head hunters. I've not been here long - maybe 7 months now. Before that did 5 years in book publishing - all v glam but v hard work and bad pay.

Tonight will be cross trainer night, as it's 1980s night on Virgin so I do about 5-7k on the trainer listening to all my fave songs (am last person on earth not to have IPod) I like yoga too, but find it hard being quiet for so long. I do a lot of stretching after my running etc though as am trying to improve flexibility. Are you very good at yoga? That must fit nicely for you. I do have the geri halliwell yoga video which is surprisingly good.

Health issues - save you hunting - basically I was diagnosed with epilepsy about a month ago (maybe mentioned this yesterday?? can't 'member) and its all been a bit of a shock (esp. having a major seizure and ending up in hospital - which is where I got engaged!!)

How did you get engaged? I love these stories

xx

I've just got in from work going to my friends birthday party tomorrow!

HI Bec!

That sounds fun - what are you going to wear? I love getting a bit dressed up :-) Have you had a good day at work? Am still here but everyone's gone home :-)

x

So from your job you must be in London! My siser used to work for a company which did political lobbying but now she's a director for a health watchdog. Similar, but different!

OMG you sound so fit! I only got back into the gym a couple of months, although I used to live there more or less. I can't run too much as I over pronate badly and I just end up in agony. I live a good powerwalk and then on the stairmaster. I love my ipod! The music in our gym is a bit suspect to say the least! Not very good at yoga, but getting there. It's hard work!!

What a lovely way to get engaged! I hope your health probs are getting sorted now though. Must have been very frightening for you!

Our story - well, when h2b and I got together I'd been through a bad divorce and basically neither of us thought we'd ever get married (again for me!). We moved in together pretty quickly and I got preg quickly too, and then when Libby was born we just settled down and got on with it. Things got a bit tense after a while of just plodding along, and basically I tackled him about the issue. What started as a heated discussion with me fully expecting him to walk out ended up with him saying he wanted us to get married. I was in shock and then ecstatic! We decided to wait until all the house move was over with before we did it, and now we've been happily engaged since June.

C xx

Claire - yeah we work closely with roles in that sort of area - head hunting and the like.

What sort of music do you like? Am not so keen on crappy hard core dance that the gym likes, but I love a bit of Madonna or Guns N Roses - something to sing a long to. I don't like running, so don't do it that much - 5k on the cross trainer is not actually that bad, like being on the stepper, and takes about 1/2 an hour. Get quite sweaty + out of breath. I used to do lots of aerobics + step but trying not to do such hardcore stuff now. I do a street dance class that is lots of fun! Although am totally cr*p.

Yeah A+E is an odd place to get engaged - but then we went to Hatton Garden and designed my lovely ring :-) We've been together 6 + 1/2 years - 7 years by the time we get married. So weird, I remember when he was 22 and now he's 30!

Your story is so cute - and did you guys go out and pick a ring after?

Hi SG45, Think it will be the LBD that comes out of the wardrobe for tomorrow night....might vamp it up with a scarf or something though.

Got a manic few weeks, going to the fratellis on Tuesday, Birmingham next weekend and Leeds the weekend after!

You can't beat a LBD - am wearing my new one tomorrow for dinner with H2Bs friends...

Wow sounds like you are busy - The Fratellis are seriously cool, did they do that CHelsea Dagger song?

Meeting 'tog tomorrow at our venue and chasing up RSVPs... and spending as mush timw with H2B as possible - he has been working away the last three days and is away the first 3 days of next week too ☹️

spent the last few days madly cleaning so we don't have to do any house work this weekend...

I do love a bit of dance music when I'm in the gym. I love Faithless and Cascada, h2b is hardcore dance fan against others. We both have really varied taste in music. I love Madonna - she can do no wrong!

Do you mean you went straight to Hatton Garden from A&E??

We've been together about 3 1/2 years now, but have known him for longer. We held off for a few weeks and then picked the ring a couple of days after we moved house.

Roll on 5.30! Dying to get out of the office today....... What time do you finish?
