It was a great weekend........

So, on Saturday I posted about what my plans were for that day.

Exciting, I got my contact lenses. How sad am I that this is what was so exciting about the day.

We also went and collected our documentation for the wedding. I am going into the travel agents tomorrow to had everything back in as we brought it home to read over as some things were missing from the contract that we were promised so we were wanting to check it out for a while. We thought that because we had specified the date we wanted that it meant that we had got it but NO, they still have to contact the Dominican Republic judge to ask if this date is suitable. How annoying?!?

Bank Holiday Monday has been fun though - no work. Woo Hoo!

Happy May Day

Can you believe today is the 1st of May. How quick is the year going? I know that this is a sign of getting old.
This weekend is going to be a good one, we have a girlie day out planned for Sunday. We are heading back to the benefit make up stall in Edinburgh to get more make up tips and to buy some lovely stuff. I have my eye on the foundation and foundation brush - mine needs replacing urgently. I am sure we will make a day of it and maybe go out for some lunch as well.

Bank Holiday Weekend......

........and for once the weather has been fantastic.

I have not minded working this weekend because I have been able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Ever since Friday when I stopped the deliveries and started on the security work I have been outside with the dog enjoying the sunshine, not that I have any colour to show for it right enough.

Yeterday was Easter Sunday so I bought David a:















and what did I get in return, a:


















well and a huge bunch of flowers. He isn't that bad to me really.

Hope you have all enjoyed the weather this weekend and are not to ad about going back to work tomorrow.


Enjoy what is left of the bank holiday.

weekly round-up

This week has been so manic, I have barely had time to think, let alone plan anything.

I have been working all week, even on Friday when I was meant to be of to get the house ready for the party that night. I also went back to Slimming world on Tuesday night - which was a disaster but also good as it has got me re-focused for getting into my wedding dress.

Friday night was good, a smaller number than originally expected turned up to the Virgin Vie party but it was good all the same, we played pass the parcel and the price was a luscious bubble bath from the range (which my mum won). As well as that we had a good gossip, munched loads of yummy food (cooked by me I may say - with a little help from David) and had a good time looking at and discussing the different products available. I confessed that I don't cleanse, tone and moisturise, instead opting for a face wipe dragged across the skin whenever I remember. Apparently this isn't very good for you so I have purchased the cleanser and toner to try and get into the habit of doing it.

Saturday morning was hectic to say the least. We went to collect our new sofa, actually Laura's old one but it i new to us and so comfy. We also went and purchased our Wii. We are so out-of-date when it comes to computer consoles but we have been wanting one for ages now. Then David, David's mum and I went to the wedding fayre at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange. It was good but very crowded - not helped by the number of buggies that were there - is it me or does the mix of babies/toddlers & wedding dresses & drinks/sweets not add up? There were at least 2 dresses I looked at that had chocolate fingers on - and it was only the first day of the show.

Now at work, so expect many blog entries today as I think of them.

Enjoy the sunshine - although not the cold!

Weekend Frolics

So, I am sitting here planning my weekend for next week.
Considering we lose an hour with the clocks going forward it has to be my most hectic weekend probably this whole year so far.

On Friday night I am hosting a Virgin Vie party in the house, and going by the verbal RSVPs I have received there is going to be a good number of people coming over. My friend from school is the one selling all the stuff so I want her to get a good commission, she is travelling over from Kelty in Fyfe to do the party.
On Saturday morning David & I as well as our mums are going into Edinburgh for the wedding fayre at the Corn Exchange. Last Year me and Michelle (one of my bridesmaids) went and had a great time so this year it will be good to show it to David and our mums. This is also the first time that David's mum has gone with us to a wedding fayre so it will be cool.
Saturday night I am going to an Ann Summers party at Michelle's house. So another night out and another shopping experience.

This week I am going to get a new TV stand from Ikea. I saw it yesterday and the more I think about it the more I decide that it will really fit in the living room and work better than the stand we have at the minute.

1 Week Later........

Whoops, I have neglected you a bit this week haven't I?
But I do have loads to tell you, sitting comfortably, then I will begin.

I have been working loads this week. Monday through to Wednesday was relatively normal, just a few little extra runs but on Thursday I had a mammoth delivery down to Wales to do. This is a fortnightly event, normally my step-dad does it but it is only fair that I learn the route and lend a hand sometimes in doing it to so we set off for Newport, South Wales on Thursday evening. WE got down there for about 11.30 which was quite good and got a good night sleep in the hotel before setting off for the delivery point for 8am. Once we delivered there we headed off to Swindon for another delivery - which wasn't as far away as I thought it was going to be.
I did most of the driving, going from Southwaite service station on the M6 down to Newport and then all the driving on the Friday back up to Scotland.

Yesterday I was baby sitting for my cousin's beautiful baby girl. Abbi came to me for the day so that mum and dad could go to the Edinburgh Darby yesterday and I had a great day satisfying my broody needs that I have at the minute. Thinking that having a baby that is currently ill for the whole day would be put me off the idea of having kids for a while but it didn't, in fact it probably made me want them even more.
The weekend activities didn't stop there and I have also been into Edinburgh today for a make Up lesson with the girls from Benefit. We met them at the Wedding Fayre a few weeks ago and we book another visit with them to go in and learn about more products they do and what would actually suit us individually. Me, Lea, Laura and Michelle all went into Edinburgh and had a great day today. I bought a few products with the intention of buying the others when we go back at the beginning of May for more inspiration and ideas to do with our eyes.

After we all had our makeup done we went down to Debenhams to have a look at prospective bridesmaid dresses. We were all jumping around in the changing rooms with different dresses on and we have selected a couple to go on the shortlist. We are definatly wanting to go dres shopping, today has really got me in the mood for trying on lots of big dresses, even I was jumping around in possible brdesmaid dresses as I was feeling left out.

Tonight I am back at work, therefore finally got the time to update my blog.

Enjoy what is left of the weekend.

the busiest weekend ever

I am absolutely shattered. over the last 4 days I have been running around like a mad person. On Thursday and Friday we had a family funeral so that was tiring in an emotional way. On Saturday I was working in the morning then went out to the theatre at night. It sounds dead posh, but we had a girlie night in Edinburgh seeing "the Vagina Monologues". It was great. What a giggle we all had. There was a group of 6 of us, we started at my friend's house having dinner which was so yummy then we all travelled into the city centre for the show.
Yesterday me and Michelle went into Glasgow for a make over and photo shoot. We were made up to look so glam, then had photos taken in various different poses, some sexy and some in evening gowns. The photos were great, I didn't actually purchase any of my photos, they were priced quite high but Michelle - who had won the competition to go - got her photos, so looking forward to getting them and having a proper look at them.

Did you have a good weekend?
