Surprise!!!!

Just managing to get a second post in this month - by the skin of my teeth!

Not really sure where October has gone, it has certainly been busy. I've bought my niece's bridesmaid's dress this week which was exciting. I saw the one I wanted on the Coast website, went to see it in the shop and loved it. I then found a voucher for 25% off which was fab!

We've also booked the honeymoon - yippee!! Two weeks all inclusive in Mauritius - can't wait, I think I'm almost more excited about that than the wedding (almost but not quite!!).

The weight is staying firm. I spoke to the bariatric nurse a few weeks ago and, rather surprisingly, she has suggested having a little bit of fluid taken out. She says if it is too tight, you end up eating what will go down rather than what is good for you (which is very true!!). I've not quite got my head around that yet - loosen it to lose weight ... can't be right!!! I will see how it goes over the next few weeks.

Mum and I are going wedding shopping tomorrow! My dad is having his second knee replacement operation and my Mum is such a worrier that I know the only way to distract her is to do something like that. We're hoping to sort out the invites - I'm starting to worry about them now!! They have to go out in January and will need to be printed up etc. We will be quite near to the hospital so we can get there as soon as we hear that he's back on the ward.

Apologies - again!!

Ok, I hang my head in shame that September was my worst blogging month ever with only one post. I am sorry, I find it harder to blog when my other half is around and he seems to have been around a lot lately!!

I also don't seem to have as much time to myself as I thought I would, even though I'm not doing the travelling to work anymore! I guess I am busy with all the wedding planning. Just over six months to go, I can't believe how quickly it is coming round - yikes!!!

Work is incredibly busy, the company is very different to what I've been used to and I feel that I am in a constant muddle - my previous companies had very well structured policies and procedures which just don't seem to be in place here. The people are much nicer than the ones I was working with in my last job but I am quite stressed at times. I am having to step back and tell myself that I am only there for 9 months and then I walk away so I shouldn't stress myself out but it is easier said than done when you want to be professional.

We had a lovely holiday in Zante last week - can't believe we've been home a week! The weather wasn't great but we had some nice spells and I caught up on a lot of sleep (not that I feel the benefit now!!)

My weight is okay, I managed to stay the same on holiday. Bertie is being a bit tempermental. Some days he is fine but others he is a total horror and I can barely eat anything. I think the flight upset him a bit, as I was unable to eat much at all for the first few days of my holiday. I guess that helped me to not put any weight on!
