*****The Weekly Good Bad thread with a slight difference!*****

Hello lovely Sara.

Good - it's almost the weekend

Bad - I have to make 3 cakes tomorrow for a church fete in my Mum's village (she volunteered me to do it)

Good - I am hoping my little Mini will be made better on Saturday

Bad - going to see my Grumps in hospital - those places make me feel sick.

Bad - also vay vay poor

Weird thing: I have to shake clothes and towels before using them/ putting them on as I'm convinced spiders might crawl out of them. (This is cos a humungous one once crawled out of a towel I had on)

Good Night out with the girls from work tonight

Good, My Mum is coming to stay for the weekend

Good, Have found some shoes, going to collect them on Saturday

Good, My Grandsons birthday bbq on Sunday

Cant think of anything bad but I guess it will soon be monday!

Something I have never done, I am nearly 54yrs old and I have never in my life been Ice skating. Im a bit scared to now, worried I might fall and break a hip or something!

Good - England tomorrow at my SIL2Bs

Good - Father's Day meal at Frankie and Benny's

Good - Possibly going to the pub with my old school friend on Saturday

Bad - Got lots of Uni work to do and I've no motivation

I have never had coffee! Well done on the swimming front, SC

Lol, I like it. I don't like tommies - but I have eaten them.

Good - the weekend is only 2 days away! and this weekend OH is treating me to something "special" but I don't know what. Woo!

Bad - I too am mighty broke

Bad - paying up for a group holiday this weekend, making me even broker. and one of my mates pulled out for NO reason. Grr!

Good - I lost 2lbs this week.

Unusual thing: I absolutely hate cheese! It reminds me of smelly feet and gone off milk. I can't eat the stuff, but when I'm drunk I often try pizza because it smells so good- followed by me spitting it out because the taste is horrible!!

Hello there my Spangley lover !!!!

OMG I do this too!!!!! Are we twins? I aslo shake my shoes!!!!!

Hi Delvesje - your weekend sounds fabulous - can I come along please?

I can highly recomend it, it is so much fun!!! You will fall over and it will hurt, but it feels amazing when you are gliding along all by yourself!

Hi B2B1987 ,

I am not a big coffee fan, but as I get older I have found that I do love an occasion Cappucino with 3 sugars in it, at our London head office they have the nicest coffee machine that makes the best cappucinos...mmmmm!

D'oh I just re-read and saw it said "weird things you have NEVER done" NOTE TO SELF: read things fully before posting!

Will certainly make you a cake lovely - here's a carrot cake I made earlier:

And thank gawd I'm not the only one who shakes clothes etc - I was ten times worse when I saw a bit of Arachnophobia..

Frankie and Benny's is yum, I can't wait! I really want to like coffee, especially fun ones like capuccinos, but I just can't face it. Once, the manager on my placement made me a coffee and I couldn't bring myself to tell her I hate the stuff, so pretended to drink it and made mmm noises ?

Good: H gets back from Spain tomorrow. We'd only been back from honeymoon a day before he flew off again!

Good: I'm working from home today and all our systems are down. I can't do any work at the moment so I've come back to bed to type my wedding report!

Good: England game tomorrow and I think we're having friends round.

Good: Going to see Greenday on Saturday with H's Wembley corporate tickets so we get a 3 course meal beforehand. How civilised at a rock concert!

Good: Fathers Day on Sunday so I'll arrange something with my family I think.

Bad: I had some bad news last night. I'll add it into my wedding report.

Bad: I'm jetlagged and feel absolutely rubbish. Jetlag is horrible.

Bad: Being back at work is also horrible after the wedding/honeymoon. I'm really struggling to get back into things which is made worse by the jetlag.

Strange fact: I have also never eaten a tomato! Or a whole mushroom. Or a prawn. Bleugh.........

Hi Josiep00,

Well done on your weight loss, that is fantastic"

This really made me laugh - i have an image of you really drunk and eating a minging Pizza!!

Bethanw - Wedding report? Yay, another way to interupt my working day ?

Sara - Will def update you ladies on my weekend. Every year me and OH agreed we would treat each other to a "Special Day" that isn't birthday or anniversary, tis a lovely tradition. Mine is always in May his is always in September. Breaks up the year a little.

That's such a lovely idea!

Hi BethanW

I hope you are ok sweetie - bug hugs for you x x

Aaaw Josie that's lovely!! (off to suggest the same to Mr Spangles now...) ?

Good: I'm actually starting to lose weight

Bad: I may possibly have left it too late to be able to fit into my wedding dress[:'(]

My weirdo fact is that I've never seen The Goonies. OH is disgusted that I've never seen this 'classic' and have no intention of ever watching it!

Good - the sunshine is back!

Good - I think we're going to see new baby nephew again this weekend.

Good - me and OH are getting on really well at the minute - just as well, eh! No, seriously, we're really lovey-dovey

Bad - I am finding work very tough at the minute.

Good/Bad - I AM GETTING MARRIED IN 37 DAYS

My weird thing - I've never seen a Star Wars Film.

Ooh I've got an "I have never" now!

Brace yourselves - I HAVE NEVER SEEN STAR WARS OR LORD OF THE RINGS... (runs away and hides)

Ooh, I've never seen Lord of the Rings either. Or read/seen a Harry Potter, or Philip Pullman.

I've also never seen Lord of the Rings!

Hello everyone!

Good - look at that sunshine!

Bad - at work so all I can do is look at it! ?

Good - the men have their suit fitting this weekend.

Bad - I have an opticians appointment and I know I will need glasses now!

Good - football tomorrow! Yay!

Bad - diet means I'm stuck with boring food whilst OH tucks into pizza during the football...

I have never - had a cup of tea. The thought of hot water and milk mixed is rank!

Hi borokate

Please don't stress - you have over 2 months left - you have plenty of time to start a fitness regime and focus on eating well, you could loose a good 7lbs in this time and I am sure a good seamstress can make your dress fit you

big hugs x

Unless you have a spare 9 hours, I wouldn't bother with LOTR. And as for the Goonies, I've seen it, but I could take it or leave it x

Good - I'm seeing Bonjovi on Sunday

Good - SIL is back from honeymoon tomorrow so we can tell everyone about the wedding

Bad - We have made a list of things to do in the house before we move and it's longer than we thought!

Bad - I've put on weight.

xx

Aww thanks for making me feel better SC. I've got my fitting in 6 weeks so hoping to lose 1lb a week up til then and I've really cranked up the exercise in the last couple of weeks which is helping. Sadly I haven't got the energy or the motivation to do as much exercise as you've been doing but i'm trying!

Good: I just had a gorgeous pub lunch in the sunshine

Bad: I'm back at work now ☹️

Good: Only one more day and its the weekend and I have 4 days off!!

Good: It's my friends wedding on Monday and I'm really excited I have a fab 50's swing dress and petticoat to wear (50's theme)

Good: I have paid deposits on my caterer, photographer and venue!

Bad: The band we wanted quoted £1800 for 2 hours ? they had real special meaning to us but sadly it's just too expensive.

Bad: Our dream church that said we could get married there so we moved the date have come back and said they were wrong and we cant get married there!!! sooo angry as we've confirmed bookings and ordered save the dates so we cant change back, though our new date is better as it means we'll def be able to go on honeymoon straight after, the churches are all being so unhelpful I think we may just get married at the venue as it is beautiful!

I'd best stop now as I think I could go on and on ?

Weird: never drunk coffee and I've never seen waynes world - which apparently makes me weird!

Have a fab weekend everyone ?

Hey BSB!!!

Can I come and see your nephew too? I want a baby !!!

You are so like me! I can take them or leave them, there are far too many for me to comprehend - bit like Harry Potter!

X

?Hey Raefy baeby!!

OMG Raef !!!! Did you know the theme of our wedding is vintage tea party - there are going to be tea cups and tea pots all over the place, the placecards have quotes on them about tea from CS Lewis, JK rowling, Mad Hatter, etc It would be your wedding from hell ?

X

aww thanks chica. I feel all special now. Judging on your dress photo I dunno why you're trying to lose weight, you've got a great figure.

Hi Charliebird7,

Blame it on the hot weather - you have been drinking more fluids this week so it is obviously water retention!!!!! ?

X

OMG Sara your wedding sounds AWESOME! I can't wait to see your piccies. I love that idea. The venue where we are getting married was featured in Cosmo bride and it had a vintage tea party theme (same issue that the fabulous CAOS is in!) Dunno if you got a copy?? x

BoroKate, that's ok - 6 weeks it loads of time and I bet you will loose 2-3lbs in the week prior to the fitting through stress alone!

I don't have the energy to get up in the mornings but I kinda blackmail myself when the alarm goes if, it sounds odd but I really do bully myself into getting up and going to the gym - I keep seeing an image of myself with huge norks poking out of my dress on the wedding day (my nightmare scenario) and it always gets me out of bed !!
