Feel good FRIDAY!!

It was my mummy's birthday on Weds, so I'm dedicating this blog to her.

Reasons why I LOVE my mum.........

She's my confidante, best friend and my rock all rolled into one
She loves me no matter what I do
She has a strength of character that I can only hope for
She's independent, strong-minded & determined
She always listens to me
She never criticises me and always knows when to offer advice
She's now turned very girly and wears more make up than I do....Love it!!
She's still learning from her mistakes and always encourages me to do the same

There is so much more to my mum than what people may see. I love you mum and can't wait for you to walk me down the aisle!!

Blogs & Wobs...

Don't you just love predictive texting on mobiles. I have just been trying to send a text and instead of getting the word Xmas (I know some people don't like the shortened version) I end up getting Wobs. This made me giggle out loud in the office (don't know why, it's just a funny word when you say it out loud) but it highlighted the fact that I was doing something I shouldn't, damn it!!

More importantly, what the bloody hell is a WOB anyway!!!

What a weekend!!

I absolutely love fireworks and to my delight I went to 2 displays over the weekend for Bonfire Night.
On Friday night we were babysitting and took our niece Louise to see the display her dad Gary was helping out with. This was at someones farm (I keep forgetting whose and where!). The 2nd was at Mayer Park, just around the corner from where we live.
Now, we have seen the most amazing fireworks ever and these were in Sydney, Oz last New Years Eve (see pic). However, they didn't last very long and my joy at seeing fireworks was short lived and needless to say was slightly disappointed. So, when the length of both fireworks displays outlasted the Oz Experience I was over the moon.
Fireworks at the wedding?.....Sign me up!!

In between the joy of fireworks, on Sat Liz came with me to view our wedding venue and 'The Dress'. First stop was the venue and again it was a lovely day, which only confirmed my feelings that this place is IT. I also needed a girlfriends perspective and Liz was great, complementing in all the right places! Next stop was the dress shop where they stocked 'The Dress', which I had fallen in love with oh so long ago in Australia. To my disappointment back then, I was told via email that the dress would cost between £14,000 and £16,000 (see June's Blog). After trying 'The Dress' on I fell in love with it again and when the shop assisstant wrote down the price, I realised that the price on the email must have been a typo (too many noughts) and I can now afford it. HURRAY, WOO HOO, YEAH, CRY (tears of joy this time!!)
Only problem now though is that I've decided to still try on other dresses and they look good as well, Noooo. Too much choice, don't like it!

Anyway, I had a great first wedding 'expedition' and hope there will be many more to come. Liz has also restored my faith in friendship, which had been slightly dented, so a HUGE thank you.
