    Bad - I put 1.5 Ibs on at Weight Watchers this week and I had been so good. Hoping that it is because it is the time of the month. I have still lost just over a stone in 10 weeks though so not all bad.

    Bad - The candles I have ordered for the favours have not turned up and the company are being less than helpful.

    Good - I am going to my volunteer job tomorrow. I love working in the bridal shop and helping the brides with the dresses. It is so nice when they find the one.

    Good - I have my brother and his future wife are coming Sunday and we are all going out and then having Dinner at our house.

    Good - Monday the children go back to school. I am going to help out in the school, hopefully this will lead to me become a Teaching Assistant. Or even encourage me to go back to uni to become a teacher.

    Good: I lost 2.5lbs at ww yesterday so am very pleased

    Good: Wedding fayre at my venue tomorrow, so can see it all dressed up

    Good: Trip to London on Sunday for massive meal with H2Bs family (uncle and aunt over from Oz)

    Neither/nor: My boss should be flying back from his holiday in US today, but I think the ash cloud may prevent that, so he prob wont be back at work on Monday! He's been emailing me all afternoon saying its a sign he should stay out there, and that he's sure I can cope on my own (there's only 2 of us in the dept) from now on and pretend he's there!

    Good - had a fab class this morning and can feel that really nice muscle ache already. Bought some new sports bras this morning so looking forward to going out for a run in one of them (and some other clothes, obviously) later on.

    GOOD: It's gloriously sunny and I've had the chance to spend the day with my Mum (well, in a half awake state)! And I get my parents all to myself over the weekend, with no rowdy siblings around!

    BAD: I'm exhausted having had lots of drama due to leaving my passport four hours away, having to go get it and then getting caught up in the volcano debacle!

    GOOD: I made it home eventually only 12 hours late, albeit knackered and grumpy after a night on the sleeper (a REAL adventure).

    GOOD: Hair and makeup trials are later. Finalising details with venue and photographer this weekend. It's all go go go!

    BAD: Spent from 12pm to 10pm in the pub waiting for planes/trains to be sorted out. Being hungover and tired are not a good mix.

    BAD: Some people have still not RSVP'd and I'm supposed to be confirming final numbers on Sunday. Grrrrrrrr.

    Bethan - sorry to hear that you've had bad news and that some guests can't make it now. That's really rubbish.

    Bad: I got home later than OH and he's gone straight to bed sick and I am a little tiddled after 'quick' work drink (feel v guilty now)

    Good ; Nothing really planned this weekend

    Bad: got an answer from my BF about being a CBM. it was a no but at least I know. She's suffering/suffered from Postnatal depression and i feel like I've been a bad friend not being there for her.

    Good: the sun is going to come out tomorrow

    Good: one way or another i'm getting married and all the flowers and stuff is just optional really and not worth getting het up about
