IM still alive, still ticking and seemingly very busy,
sorry for being so scarce i do really love hearing form you all
and I do catch up on your blogs even though I don’t comment.

well I have some news.
I’ve started a new Blog where people can view my photos i take on a photography class im doing, i struggle to load any pictures onto my 24 blog and this is what made me decide to go the new route, so if anyone wants to see what I’ve been up to with my camera have a look here,

otherwise, to out my cryptic self,

2 days after we came back form honeymoon, yes it was Mauritius, i handed up in hospital with a *DVT,
I spent Easter in hospital and then was sent home with injections pills, and a 6 month course of warfarin,
I have to get blood tests basically once a week and then a clinic controls my INR.
basically I’m on an anticoagulant that stops more clots from forming. I was in allot of pain,
and my leg has its days, it swells , hurts and is generally a huge irritation...

but looking on the bright side, I’m the lucky one, i didn’t keel over i survived to tell the tale, and its made, me appreciate my life & love ones allot more,
and its given me the kick up my bum to pursue my dreams..

so if any of you want to see what I’m up to dream wise please visit my new site and let me know
what you think, and keep in touch. ill pop in from time to time and give you all a less formal update.
otherwise see you all soon on the blogs,
love me

 Oh my I also celebrated my Blog anniversary on the 5^th of May 1 year, down crazy….

So I was thinking after “outing myself”  which I did ages ago anyway
I cant really complain about all the compliable things
I can complain about do u know what I mean?

 Batman already has the RSS feed to this blog so
I can’t even moan when he does a manly thing like

But I wanna see some wedding details from you before

This is the beach where we stayed on holiday,

And then well da d a da something happened when we got back home…

Which I plan probably to blog allot about because well
I believe everyone should well know what they in for if they do somthing…

Oh if that wasn’t cryptic enough,

Now that u all know what I look like I have to keep
some other form of  mystery for now…

Today I did my usual I got into work early grabbed a cup of tea and plonked myself in front of my two screens

3 weeks to go,

2 weeks till I’m on leave,

I’ve decide to have a break before to distress

I’ve planned one or two things that week.

The Saturday the week before is my Hen night,

knowing my friends ill need a day or 2 to recover,

The Wednesday I have a spa day booked,
I’m doing a massage and a body treatment to get the relaxation going,

The Thursday I’m thinking about booking a spray tan,
I did a trial it wasn’t to bad, except my feet discolored because
that’s the one part I forgot to exfoliate he he

And then the arm pits what’s up with my armpits
not taking the color? So I’m in two minds

Then the Friday before im getting a mani and pedi…
so by the wedding ill be miss stress free and happy.

This Sunday I have a dress fitting
id love to post a pic but batman reads this blog..

We have finalized 90% of the arrangements,

What’s left to do,

- Men’s Retinue gifts, (any ideas)

- Choose and finalise wedding music

- final dress fittings

- make Seating chart

- wrap thank you gifts

-  Get a veil

- organize guestbook

- Design and make Menus & table numbers

- Buy groom a wedding gift
- organize ties backs
- kids gift bags
- make a list of flowers for the florist
- organize, something old , something new, something borrowed, something blue
- breath
 

 I think and hope that’s all,

There are a couple of smaller goodies but hopefully that will all fall into place.

Here’s and update of previous posts

I hate the feeling ,but I’m as prepared as I can be,
I’ve stressed way to much and now this is my time to enjoy
these next couple of weeks.

So hopefully everything will all come together nicely
with minimum stress and soon ill be a MRS and driving my hubby mad..
