aaaaaaaaaaargh

I'm getting married in 6 weeks. I should probably be a bit stressed about it now, but I;m not. I am, however somewhat stressed about my job, the amount of travelling I am haivng to do and am being expected to do in the next 6 weeks and slightly concerned as to whether I'm going to fit in my dress due to the vasy quantities of weight I am piling on due to hotel food,.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

new facebook group

I'm thinking of creating a new facebook group, a new religious cult and possibly a new political party, based on the fundamental principle that PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO EAT SWEETS IN THE THEATRE.
Come, my friends, join me......

we;ve been filling in paperwork on the wedding, which vows to take, which readings to have etc etc. we left it a bit too late, and we have to get the forms in this week, and really weren't in the right frame of mind the other day (it's hard to discuss the exact words you want to to express your love and commitment to each other when you've just been bickering!).

Still we think we've cracked it, gone for mostly classical stuff which I hope isn't too dull, but hopefully fits in with the feel of the place.

Other wedding stuff going ok, invites gone out and some replies have come back in. Meeting hairdresser next week, dress fitting next week and meeting at the hotel too, its going to be busy. bridesmaid dress one will be in prodiction soon I hope, bridesmaid 2 dress bought the other weekend. Hen weekend coming up next weekend too.

Only real problem is trying to find the time for all this as work seems to be about to go mental with the need to visit Aberdeen a lot, plus visits to Holland and Italy expected in August. I'm feeling exhausted just thinking about it all....

so Gordon Brown is telling us to stop wasting food. gee, good to know he's focussing his key leadership skills on the important stuff and telling us things we don't already know.

pesky cheerleaders

we had a fab weekend down in Brighton and manged to catch some sun on the saturday, and also caught up with some friends too. We'd planned to camp and had details of a couple of campsites, only problem was there was a cheerleading competition on in Brighton which meant it was a little difficult to find somewhere to stay. so we ended up in a famers field, with funning water but sod all else! The good bit was being able to have a roaring fire on the Fri night, you really can't beat sitting round a fire with a bottle of wine and a packet of jaffa cakes. Even makes up for the lack of toilet facilities!

one more thing....

Had to order a name badge for when I do CIPD events, and thought it would be sensible to get one in my married name. First time i had to actually type it... Wendy Ellis. Wooooooooah that looks really weird.

need cash please!

I finally got my lardy arse off the sofa and started a bit of training for the race for life - which is less than 2 weeks away.... oops. When I asked Paul if he thought my latent fitness would get me through the run he had trouble replying due to laughing so hard. So I figured a little too late is better than nothing at all and did a little bit of running yesterday and today. I ache, but thats good I guess as it shows its working.

So.... the point to all this is to raise cash for cancer research, and I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you once again to SHOW US YOUR MONEY - you know its too important an issue to ignore. :-) click on the link to the right of this post...
