Signing off for a little while!!!

This will be my last post for a little while.  The wedding is now five days away and the stress levels are through the roof!!

Wednesday nearly resulted in nervous breakdowns for both me and my fiance.  I went to collect the wedding cake from the staff shop (my company makes M&S personalised cakes) only to find that they had issued my cake to someone else.  It was my last day in work and at one point it looked like I wasn't going to get a cake that day (which would have meant chasing around to pick it up on days that had been put aside for other last minutes things!).  After a few tears, a replacement cake was produced and all was well.

Until I got home!!!  My fiance had been to collect the suits for the bridal party.  He had no shirt or waistcoat and his best man had no waistcoat.  The ties and handkerchiefs that they were making for us weren't ready.  Which was pretty annoying.  Then his father tried his suit on to find the waistcoat didn't fit and when I checked my nephew's waistcoat, they hadn't taken it in as they said they would.  I just went into panic mode (given that it is Easter weekend so not many working days left before the wedding!).  My brother and nephew are away visiting my sister in law's family and won't be back until Monday night, so if their suits don't fit we only have Tuesday to resolve it.  My father in law to be is now sorted out and they have adjusted my nephew's waistcoat.   My father's trousers need to be taken up so will be taking them back tomorrow.  Fingers crossed, everything will be sorted for the day!

My wedding dress is now hanging up in my parents bedroom.  My mother and I had an emotional moment when we picked it up.

I have no idea where my weight is, yesterday I could hardly eat as I was stressed and manically busy trying to get the last minute things done.  I've put that all to one side for now and will look at getting a band adjustment once things have settled down.

So, I doubt I will get to post again as a single woman!  We are going off on honeymoon next weekend for two weeks but I will post once we're back and hopefully life will be calm again!!!

Getting Better!

Well, I am feeling a bit more lively than last time - thank heavens for Nytol!!!  I've managed to have a few good nights sleep, I'm still tired but not exhausted which is a bonus!

My niece is staying with us at the moment which is fantastic.  She stayed last weekend as well and that was the first time I'd seen her in over five years and the first time my fiance had met her.  We are talking her and all the parents out for lunch tomorrow for Mothering Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it.

The wedding is looming ever closer!  I'm getting really excited about it - when I'm not panicking about last minute things to do!  My brother and nephew arrive in the UK this week, they are the last of my Australian family to arrive and I can't wait to see them.

My weight is staying stable at the moment which is great as my diet is terrible.  I'm hoping that when life returns to normal, I can get things back on track.

I have another job interview this week - just what I need 3 weeks before my wedding!  Fingers crossed I get it so I can cross that off my to do list!!
