One other thing...

LOVE IT that you guys who read this are randomly reading the blogs of people you don't know! Case in point, Julie appearing on Rike's blog today -check it out at onecoffeebean2many.blogspot.com and Abbi falling in love with the adventures of the Wenham nippers. VERY COOL! I love it that my scattered pals are aware of one another, even if it is via cyberspace.

Back to the weekend - here's Hanny & her Man(ny)! Such a beautiful couple. (Christian, Hann, apologies for yelling 'Get a Room' quite so loudly, however you only have yourselves to blame!! AND Chris yelled it first!)

Wedding Shenanigans

Here's the first installment - Blogger is being (to use a phrase the kids I work with use regularly) 'gay' and will only let me upload one photo per time - which is tiresome to say the least...I took 103 pictures during the event! (including several of random individuals wearing Laura's 'Andie MacDowell' Hat!!) So bear with me, I'll try to post as many as I can!

This is (obv!) Ricardo y yo - cute huh?!

F-F-F-FRIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Hurrah! It's the weekend! Today I had 2 hours TOIL so I got to come home at 3pm which felt delicious! It's been a busy week work-wise and a fun week friend-wise. Weds evening was dinner chez Povall-Mitchell which was truly whoopass: great food, great company, great wine, great times. Thanks you guys! Then yesterday some of the gals went to see 'The Devil Wears Prada' which I thought was FABBALUS! A little slow at times, and they changed too much of the book for my liking BUT Ann Hathaway may just be my new style icon - she is soooooooooooooooooooo beeyootiful! And I thought Meryl Streep was amAZING! (although I got her confused with Glenn Close for a bit - think it was coz of Cruella DeVille)

And so to the weekend...The Campbell-Walker nuptials draw on apace, in that they are tomorrow! Pictures to follow!

"That's all"

Hyperventilating! Must calm down! OMG!

So I went to TK Maxx on my way home (as you do) to look at shoes (again, as you do) where I happened upon the beautiful pair photographed ici! THEY ARE REAL LIFE JESSICA SIMPSON SHOES!! ARRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! How beeyootiful are they!?I cannot believe it! Best of all they were only £20! A mere trifle! Online they cost a BOMB! Real life Jessica Simpson shoes. Absolutely bloody brilliant. I almost screamed in the store! Had to have a sit down and breathe into a paper bag (not really, but it could have happened)

Laters people I'm off to swank around my house in my shoes!!

Hurrah!

It's the weekend! WOOT WOOT! Not that I don't love my job, because I do, but I also lurve the weekend.

Things I'm loving right now:

• Feeling smug when I go swimming instead of shopping on my lunch hour.
• Dinner date with the Beev last night - Frankie & Benny's, Mussels Marinere and Emma - WHAT a joyous compilation!
• Staying in to watch Jonathan Ross tonight with a glass of vino.
• Singing along to the radio in the office.
• Going to see Devil Wears Prada with Abbers next week.
• Having the Mitchell-Povalls for dinner on Saturday - menu tbc!!
• Seeing Little Ted last Monday and having him just laugh at me every time he looked at me!
• Candles
• Tangerines (is 4 a day excessive?)
• Tidy house (yes, 2 weeks post-mega-cleanandclearout it's still neat as the proverbial pin!)
• Lisa and Jez's upcoming nuptials!
• Bonny night plans
• WILKOS - my new favourite magasin!
• Christmas secrets - I LOVE knowing things others don't hee hee hee

That's all for now parce-que je suis dans the office! xx

today, on the way home...

...i went past an old people's residential block of flats and for the first time noticed that there are bars on the ground floor windows. For some reason it made me unspeakably sad. I go past that building every day. Why did I only notice today?

GuEsS WhAt??!!!!!!!!!!!

67 sleeps till SANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get fired up!!! WOOT WOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ten Weeks Today....

....it'll be Boxing Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christmas is a-coming people! WHIP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

HURRAH! The Serial Killer phase is over (by that I mean the inordinate amount of 'murder & mayhem' books I have been reading since the begining of summer) and all thanks to the lovely, new Anna Maxted - one of my favourite authors. 'A Tale of Two Sisters' is in my grubby mitts and I am thoroughly enjoying it!

Hope you're all having a lovely week!

Love me xxxx

Secret Surprise

Early last week I received a little red notice through the door to say that the Postman had been and tried to deliver a parcel but because I wasn't in and it was too big to fit through the letter box, it had been taken to the depot which is annoyingly/marvellously (depending on your punto de vista) just up the road. After much protesting (and in the end swearing on my Valentino handbag) to my hubby that I had NOT secretly ordered more of either Party of Five OR Seventh Heaven dvd's, fast forward to Saturday morning as I was preparing to go to the Clarke/Roberts wedding (smashing do...more later) lovely Rich hightailed it to the post office which, of course, is only open at stupid o'clock, to pick up my parcel. Back he came with a plain brown business envelope, postmarked Southport.....hmm...what was it?

Well, inside was this stunning book entitled 'Post Secret'! There was no card, there was no note. Whoever has sent this to me knows me well enough to know that I would be so gleeful and joyous at having been 'posted' a 'secret'. I LOVE this blog and visit it regularly (see www.postsecret.blogspot.com) and have told a few people about it, just as I was told about it...so I am puzzled as to who has mailed it to me but suffice to say it was a truly wonderful surprise and I love the anonymity of it - though admittedly I am intrigued by it.

ThAnK YoU secret book-mailer...whoever you are! I am thrilled to own this book of true to life confessions, I will read with care and wonder about the people who were so moved as to contribute to the blog and ultimately to this stupendous book.

Thank you xx
