I'm still here
I'm just in a bit of panic mode as this time next week I'll be in Italy preparing for my wedding!
I seriously can't believe it's come round so quickly. I'm totally not organised whatsoever. Work is crazy at the moment, 4 of my team are off (thanks boss) so any ideas I had of taking it easy and sorting wedding related matters have gone out of the window.
On the positive side, this has led to me losing a few pounds without trying as I've been too busy to eat!
I finally tried on my wedding dress last weekend and it needed taking in and up a bit, but other than that it was perfect. Exactly as I'd imagined. That's one less thing to panic about.
Next week see's me attempting some form of grooming. I've a haircut, massage, manicure and pedicure, bikini wax and an eyelash tint all booked at various stage through the week. I'll then spend the first week in Italy attempting to avoid any form of tan lines as that's seriously not a good look with a strapless dress.
In other news, my ankle is once again buggered. It keeps swelling up to mammoth proportions and is fairly painful. My doc, PT and physio have all told me to go for an X-ray, but there is no way I'm walking down the aisle with a cast on my foot, so I'm just strapping it up for now and ignoring it (stupid??) It's meant I've had to concentrate on rowing in the gym as running is out, but I'm still attempting exercise at least.
So that's me, life is a bit of a whirlwind at the moment. I collect my wedding dress today, we're travelling up North for 24 hours to surprise my Mother for her 60th birthday and then I need to think about packing for my wedding.
I'll leave you with a thing of beauty, my wedding shoes crystallised by my little sister. I'm in love with them.

The Hen Weekend
I'm aware I've been utterly rubbish at this blogging business of late, life seems to be flying past at an alarming rate of knots. I appear to be getting married this month and I am pretty sure I am not even slightly prepared...
I've just spent the best weekend ever with my friends and family (of the female variety) in York for my hen weekend. We stayed in a 'Boutique' Hostel right in the centre of York which was perfect as we ended up with a whole building to ourselves. 2 of my closest friends organised it so well and I really couldn't have asked for more. There was a lot of alcohol involved (as you'd probably expect with me, starting with the 4 hour train journey), pizza & prosecco on the Friday - along with a lot of bad photos of me from over the years followed by dancing til the early hours.
Saturday involved a champagne breakfast, cocktail making, a Mr & Mrs Quiz (bless Matt he was both very funny and very sweet in his answers), dinner, drinks and more clubbing (and possibly a very naked stripper) and then Sunday saw me really struggling with near alcohol poisoning.
It was deliciously tacky and so lovely to have my friends and family all together and left me very emotional. I had so many lovely messages after the event from people saying how much they'd enjoyed themselves and how much they were looking forward to the wedding, I've been crying at the drop of a hat ever since.
This week has been a struggle. Lack of sleep, plus too much alcohol meant I couldn't even contemplate PT on Monday. I've that pleasure tonight. Booze is off my radar for the foreseeable so that's one blessing and I'm drowning myself in water in an attempt to give my poor liver a break.
I am having a dress fitting next weekend - I really hope I love it because quite frankly it's far too late if I don't and then we are on the home straight. 3 weeks on Friday til we fly out there. I really can't believe it's almost here.
