New Year
New year started with a bang and a lot of alcohol. To try and counter the crap that I consumed I’ve come up with some new years resolutions, try not to laugh too hard now. :)
1. Eat better:- healthier and smaller portions. I find that the more that I have on my plate the more compelled I feel to consume it.
2. Join the gym:- This happens tomorrow. I’ve not been to the gym for years...

The Blogging Bride continued...
We’re less than 10 months away from our wedding and we’re both starting to feel the pressure.
We’ve got a large majority of things sorted but its a few important things we have to sort.
Organise the invites
Sort the menues
Grooms mans suits
Stag do
Flower girls suits
Pick a wedding photographer
So whilst this seems fairly straight forward we’ve actually got a lot...

Sleep...who needs it?
Well I do really but my mind isn’t about to let me get off to the world of sleep.
As I’ve blogged before, I miss my Dad intensely. I feel his death was a great injustice and subsequently it makes it all the more difficult to let it go.
Because of this, I get moments where I cry like a baby and can’t help but feel like a complete idiot. My dad passed away nearly 3 years ago now...

The Blogging Bride - Part 3
I’d like to say that my late night posting is down to my dedication to this blog but alas this would be a lie. At present I am struggling with sciatica brought on by a rotated pelvis. Don’t you love the human body? It totally does stuff it’s not meant to and unfortunately, most of that stuff is happening to my body.
So due to this I am not sleeping well and undergoing...
The Blogging Bride - Parts 1 to 2
The Blogging Bride:- aka me.
Getting married is one of those things that everyone has an opinion on and the majority of the time, they’re just trying to be helpful. Take note: those who are in the process of getting married and are a little ahead of you, or those who have just got married are the ones to take advice from. The others may as well not be speaking unless they’re being...

The blogger returns!
Woooooo! I’m back. Whilst that means nothing to most, it means something to me. I’ve not had chance to reflect on my life last year so this post will be pretty much a reflection of all the mental things I’ve done as well as thinking about what I’d like to do this year (I’m aware that new years resolutions are far past their due date but I’m gonna do it...

I neglected you!
I am so sorry darling blog! I’ve neglected you!
Alas I’ve turned another year older since my last post and did very well for presents thank you very much. Whilst I’ve been majorly productive today at work and have managed to get a fair amount done, I still feel like I could have done more.
I’m in one of those moods today where I feel fairly cheerful but easily bored and...

Blah!
I hate feeling like a big fat muppet and today I definitely feel like that. Pretty emotional and not liking it one bit. Times like this I wish I could escape and just tell the world to go away. I need a field to chill in away from everyone. Oh to be care free
Blogalog
I’m just posting quickly to say I have another blog running specifically to document my eye laser treatment journey. Find it at

Flat as a pancake
Today’s not started well. I should have driven to work feeling on top of the world because tomorrow is my last day and I should eb in the zone.
Instead I set off and automatically notice something is wrong with my car. I park up at the station after 3 minutes of “flapping” noises coming from my car and check it over. The rear right tyre is as flat as a pancake and then it occurs...
Time flies...
So it’s been a crazy old time since I last blogged. I’ve had such a lot going on in my little world that it’s been hard to know what day it is.
This is however my final week at TradeDoubler and it’s Mittwoch (as Sam likes to say :)) which means that after today, I’ll only have 2 full days left at the company.
It’s been a really crazy year and 9 months. Such a...

Ok so...
Today is a bad day. Why it’s a bad day I don’t know but all I know is that I’m not “feeling” today. I think I’m being a bit unreasonable in my expectations of how things should be going, (the problem is that I have decided how the day should be and now because it’s not following that pattern I’m stressing about it)
My main issue is where I’ve...
Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be...
Ok so the title is a bit far from the truth but I am indeed leaving. I am quiting the big smoke that is London, moving away from Kent and all that I have ever known and instead swapping it for the north. Am I scared? Not really. I don’t feel like I have anything to be worried about. I’m moving in with my lovely boyfriend and his mental cat, taking Aggy McBun with me and starting my new...
G20
So I pretty much live in Victoria as this is where I spend most of my time working. Because we’re so close to Westminster we’re on high alert for the protesters who are protesting against everything and anything. The twats.
All I’ve heard so far this morning is a shit load of police cars whizzing past but no actual fights. The television isn’t doing much to make me feel...

Blah blah blah
Yep you’ve guessed it today has been another one of those days. Really not enjoying work at the minute and everything seems to be a struggle.
It’s at time like these you’re really glad to have someone fighting your corner and that’s why I am thankful I work with Mona. I can always rely on her to provide me with some back up if I feel against the wall and she’s really...
The economy
So I know this has been done to death and I think it’s fair to say that every person in the world is now aware we’re in an economic recession. What I do want to add however is that because of some stupid actions by a few stupid people, more people are now suffering than need be. This recession has been caused by us. All of us, because a recession is not some mythical creature that like...
The Egyptians
I’m watching a program on Cleopatra and lord knows why but I could watch facial reconstructions and skeletal analysis as well as excavations all day.
I love HISTORY…

Because Daddy is obviously a star wars fan and Mummy obviously feels she had to give in.
Postsecret
On a recent trip to Huddersfield with Sam we stopped in the art section of Waterstones. Sam managed to get a book at a 100% mark down (thats another story) but he also showed me a book called PostSecret which I had to buy.
The theory behind this book was to get people to write a secret anonymously on a post card and then for them to send it to the author. Whilst some are a bit tongue in cheek,...
A note
I was going to write some self-obsessed pondering but I can’t be arsed to bore you today
LISTS
So I am desperate to move up to the North so I can find a new job and move closer to my boyfriend. Some people may think this is a crazy idea especially in the current economic climate but things are so unbelievably difficult at work right now that I feel that if I don’t move near the one person who makes me happy, then I may never feel like I belong anywhere. Not only that but being away...

Times like these...
My mum is useless at giving me advice on anything work related, in fact my mum is useless at giving advice on anything full stop.
Times are difficult at the moment and whilst I accept that I am lucky to be in a position where I am able to get paid and work, I don’t appreciate people feeling the need to to take the piss. This is precisely what is happening at the moment with my company and...
BLAH day
Today is a blah day. One of those days where you’re not entirely sure what kind of mood you’re in. Not really happy, not really sad but utterly indecisive. It’s a pants.
I woke up in a fairly ok mood, not a great mood but ok. Went to work and felt fairly indifferent. I’ve got a jam packed weekend ahead and this is exciting but there’s just something really niggling...
1 Year on
A year passes and a lot changes. However when you lose a member of your family like your Mum or your Dad, one thing that never changes is how much you miss them and wish they were here.
Tomorrow it’ll be a year since my Dad passed away very suddenly from a heart attack and everyday is just as hard as the day he left. The worst part is that you think about all the things you should have done...
Company Databases
We kept getting letters sent to us by TalkTalk who used to provide us with our phone line etc. However we’ve moved to Sky recently and so closed the account which had been put in my Mum’s name after my Dad’s death last year. Even after calling and getting them changing the account for a while after they kept sending letters to my Dad which made a very raw situation even more...
Dream
I’m quite a dreamer and when I say dreamer I mean that when I go to sleep I tend to have very vivid dreams. Majority of the time these dreams are pleasent and/or funny so I wake up feeling ok.
However, last night I woke at 1am crying my eyes out and shouting because I dreamt that my boyfriend split up with me! I then went to sleep and again dreamt he had cheated on me. Why I dreamt this I...
There comes a time
I was looking back over some old pictures and I came across some old friends. It’s only when you get a bit of time on your hands do you start to think about what might have been had things gone a little differently. Would I be in this job, would I have met that person…It’s not a bad thing though because you learn from a lot of past mistakes, you go from past loves and move on to...
Why do I do it?!?
I really despise days when i behave like this…I get all moody about nothing and then it ruins the whole day.
The worst part is is that it is completely hormonal. Nothing else! I don’t even have reason ot worry about things or get upset but yet my body is screaming lots of different messages and so I get in a mess. I’m not sure how anyone puts up with me when I am like...

Wise Up!
So as I get a little older, a little wiser I start to learn from my mistakes, what it is that makes me vulnerable etc etc. One of these things is insecurity. I hate feeling insecure, it literally makes my stomach go funny and not in a good way. If I get it into my head that there is a reason for me to feel insecure (even if I am way off the mark and the idea is ridiculous) I find it very hard to...
Why I love working with...
Jeff and Steve! I swear to god that without these two jackasses, my days will be majorly boring. I’ve been sans Jeff for over a week now and it’s been a painful week indeed. Although today whilst in the kitchen making tea, he greeted me from behind (sounds dodgy but I mean he came up behind me, which sounds no better) and gave me a cuddle and a kiss on the head. At this moment I knew...
Yes I realise I am lame...
Yours truly has been a bit rubbish at keeping this updated, mainly because a lot has been going on in my life the past few weeks. Not only has my company gotten rid of lots of people (sign of the times) but it now means I do 2 peoples work instead of just my own and I’ve got some distractions in the shape of my lovely boyfriend. :)
So whilst the latter is a nice thing, the former is less...
Ahhh what a day
Two posts in one day…aren’t you lucky!
I’ve been having one of those weeks where I have loads to do and a lot on my mind, so much so that I find it hard to focus on relaxing and just enjoying what’s happening. This then stresses me out more and end up being a misery guts.
Luckily the people who matter most have put up with this and dealt with me being quiet and silly...
New Year, new start
Christmas was good…really good which is weird as I expected it to be a little more than rubbish with out my Papi. Luckily the family rallied round and we all kept the Christmas spirit going. New Years was truly awesome. After some last minute phone conversations and suggestions, I was off to Halifax in my little car to visit Sam. We didn’t do much that whole 2/3 days but it turned out...

OH MY GIDDY AUNT IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS! Yes that’s right we have officially 2 days until the popping of the sprog Jesus occureth. I for one am most excited by said joyous event. However I do have one event that is much more exciting than this and that’s the 9th of January. I will now be celebrating this as a holiday as the day I get to spend some quality time with the most...
Sleep
Why am I so tired? I slept a fair amount yesterday but I nearly fell asleep at my desk earlier which is completely lame. I’m actually really really happy at the moment which makes a change! Got some really cool people in my life which is making all the difference, people new and old.
It’s weird the feelings you get when you’re happy. Everything is possible and life...
I'm rubbish I know
I haven’t written on my blog for a while, I think it’s safe to say I’ve been pretty pre-occupied…you know who you are. :)
In the time between tooth removal and now however things have been pretty quiet so there’s not a huge amount to report other than the fact that I’ve had flu and I’m going to Leicester this weekend. Monday is the xmas party and the...
Teeth
I’ve been to the hospital and had all my wisdom teeth removed recently but had a lot of trouble with my lower left socket. So today I had it all packed out with a dressing which is drenched in Clove oil. Now everything tastes shitty but at least the pains gone.
OH AND IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

Boooooo
So I’m in a fairly positive mood right now and am a tad annoyed by the fact my ex-love of my life feels the need to try and make me feel like a leper. What’s more is that my best friend who is seeing this guy and his new gf is rubbing it in my face and asking me if it’s “touched a nerve”. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that a tad spiteful.
As a result...
