A Little Monday Update on the Weekend...

I did not eat healthy at all this weekend, Slimming World went right out the window and I've only let it back in this morning! Weekends are always hard for me - especially when J says "lets get a Chinese takeaway"... I can't resist the smoked chicken!

Apart from being very naughty in the food department, we had a great weekend... I have decided on my wedding band and J has 'almost' decided on his. We were able to view a couple of houses together on Saturday and are hoping to see a few more in our area this week. Although getting a Saturday appointment for a mortgage is much harder than I thought - they're booked up until the end of March!

After viewing the first two houses we had a loooong discussion about what we are really looking for in a house... it's terribly hard to think of what you really need in a house - space, number of rooms, parking, area, neighbours, layout of house, outside space incase you need to extend, do we get the 'home' feeling, how many bathrooms (for when we start a family), family sized kitchen and spaces, privacy...  these are only some of the things we have realised we need to think about.

Choosing to rent our apartment was much easier... and a lot less complicated, we walked in, liked the space, got the 'home' feeling and signed the lease!

So the search continues!

The bridal fair on Sunday at the Clandeboye Lodge was brilliant. I found a lovely little home-run company that makes the most beautiful hair clips for bridesmaids... almost exactly the same as the ones I had originally seen (and fallen in love with) on Pinterest!

The suits for the guys are still proving problematic, but J said we will just pick one day he is off work and book an appointment for as many places as we can and go around them all.

I've also got my first appointment with a bridal consultant! This is very exciting! I was under the impression that I could easily pick up a wedding dress a couple of months beforehand... but I was very wrong... it can take up to 6 months for a wedding dress to be ordered and made! Yikes! Talk about leaving things a little late!

I have also just this very minute put my order in with Oh So Lean, which I will collect from Bangor on Wednesday evening! I'm very excited to try their stuff and will post what I got and how I used them! Hopefully it will be of some help to fellow Slimming World followers!

I baked some cupcakes! I hadn't baked anything in a while as I was sticking very strictly to Slimming World but I gave in at the weekend as J had requested I make him some Easter Cupcakes a little early - a tester, as he called them! Cheeky!

Turf the destroyer (as we now call him) got a new toy on Saturday (Mr. Snakey)... and destroyed it last night by pulling out his tongue and ripping a giant hole in its head and pulling out the squeaker!

Looks like butter wouldn't melt... toys beware!

Mummy will be playing doctor tonight and stitching Mr. Snakey's head back together (the tongue is a goner)... along with re-stitching bobo (for the third time) and babybear - who is missing a limb!
