Lots more good than bad so I'm feeling pretty happy

Good

- Decided on my dress

- First BM dress shopping has happened with one of my BMs to get an idea

Bad

- Still not sorted Save the Dates out - I was meant to bring postcard with magnet attached in an envelope to work today to see if it will still go in the normal stamp post, or if it's too thick (which will mean magnets are a no-go)

- Unsure on how the logistics of BM dress shopping is going to work with one living 4 hours away - would a weekend in Birmingham (between us all) be enough to get it sorted? When should this happen for our June wedding next year? Don't think I'm cut out for wedding planning with all this decision-making!!

-Work is sooo boring today we have no work to do (why im on here) and redundancy is on the cards in the next 3 months ☹️

Over all its not been to bad a week!

Good:

Day off and holidays next week ?

It's a beautiful day in sunny suffolk

My hospital appointment pretty much ruled out a worse case scenario

Bad:

Day off was for yet another sh*tty hospital appointment.

I still haven't packed or actually done any pre holiday housework

I wasted £5 on a wedding magazine that was completely pants.

Aside from my lovely reception venue I have nothing else sorted for my wedding

I hate my job and cannot believe I worked my arse off at uni for 3 years to work for just above minimum wage and be borderline bullied by hateful, vile women

The Good

Cake tasted, enjoyed, ordred

Veil arrived (in the end got slightly cheaper than bridal shop by buying online. Gave up on eBay)

Hen Activity provisionally booked

The Bad

I had pizza hut buffet and went overboard. I've also drank a lot of wine. Less thn a month to first fitting to must behave!

Now have extra 2 children at wedding (total now 7) due to reason below

The Ugly

The Best Man has pulled out! And not even by saying sorry, just by ignoring contact from H2B and the Usher telling us. Both him and Usher now relieved of duties and probably demoted to evening guests. Poor H2B very upset. Know this guy has some personal stuff, so fair enough, but he could have told him directly. Grr. Someone else now stepped up to do it, and was very nice about it. Problem solved via extra hassle.

Another bad to my week, just weighed myself and discovered I actually am fatter!!! After three meals out, six 2 mile runs, umpteen dog walks& eight days....I'm 2lbs heavier!!! That means I'm atleast half a stone heavier than when I first tried on my dress. I want to cry!!! :-(

Could it not just be muscle? I don't know how true it is, but i've heard that if you undertake alot of exercise, or exercise which can build muscle when trying to lose weight, you can actually appear to put weight on, but really it's just your muscle mass increasing (or something like that, I don't know a great deal about body and exercisy things)

Definitely possible after 2x 6 mile runs!

Don't let it be a bad thing, ultra toned sleek legs coming your way ?

Maybe I should've bought a tea length dress.....atleast my ultra toned, stupidly heavy legs are going to be utterly hidden by my full length dress with hoop!!!

Good: it's my hen do tomorrow!

Good: got bridesmaid dress back after alterations and it is perfect

Good: I got a new Hoover! (I need to get out more I know!)

Bad: had a wedding nightmare last night, these things make me more stressed even though they arent real!

Bad: we think oh's nan's funeral will be 3 days after our wedding (this is never going to be good whenever it is in all honesty )

Bad: my brother is still not talking to me

Good: Finally reached target for wedding fund after saving for one year and going 2k over initial budget, not going to spend one more penny on it and will do without a cake if i have to.

Bad: Now got to keep saving to pay off the honeymoon!

Good: Bridesmaid dresses delivered in the correct sizes so no major adjustments will be needed.

Bad: Still not sure about final colour scheme despite choosing the bridesmaid dresses!

Good- venue booked, within budget and loads of extras included

Good- registrar booked and got time we wanted

Good- got a friends wedding next week to help build my excitement even more

Bad- just over a year to go, too impatient!!
