I'll start with the Whitlock wedding. Friday 17th June - Rivington Hall Barn. Was lovely. Expected something different bcos the bride and groom are a bit quirky. And they most certainly didn't disappoint. Walked into the Barn and it was decorated with white chair covers and instead of 1 colour they had the sashes in pink, blue, green, purple, orange and teal. It looked great. I said to hubs 'I wonder where he is , he's not at the front already' when the registrar came out and asked us all to stand. Then explained normally you stand for the bride but they had requested we stay seated. Then lady gaga started playing and the groom came out first dancing down the aisle. Followed by the bridesmaid in black jumpsuits. They all looked amazing. Then the bride came in an amzing dress with a brid cage veil. After the ceremony was cocktail hour, followed by afternoon tea. They had vintage (I think that's what you would call them?) teacups and saucers and the name places were luggage labels.
After the speechs they changed the room over and they had a barn dance. Was great fun - I had expected not to enjoy it as I am not really a dancer (well other than drunk dancing to some cheesey pop) but it gave everyone a chance to meet and just have a laugh really. Then they had their official first dance to Alica Keys New York as that's where they got engaged. The buffet was a hog roast and they served wedding cake which was 3 tiers of prok pie!
A great day! And I even had a pretty dress courtesy of my mum who wanted to buy me one. No reason why really, I had said I wanted on and she said she would treat me :)
And it meant I got to wear my wedding shoes again...however, they were much less comfortable than I remember!Saturday was hangover free - not sure how I managed that as it was free wine. Was glad as we had agreed to look after Tom's nieces - we decided to take them to Eureka! which is a kids meseum. As I didn't grow up here I have never been. We all loved it. Was great fun :)
Sunday was a quiet one before we set off to London baby! I have never been to London, other than change trains. So I was really excited. That lasted for a few minutes after we had arrived at Earls Court tube station. When I accidently knocked a lady with my bag to get told off by her, then when trying to get out of the way got told off by another man, then the lady again and then again. Oooopsy, not like I meant it. I was so embarrassed and a bit annoyed that I could have actually burst into tears. I spent the rest of the week sticking to the right everywhere we went so I wasn't in anyones way.
We did all the usual sights, London Eye, Harrods, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, Hyde Park, Ice Bar, Meseums. Shattered.com after it all. But had a great fun. Didn't think about work for 1 second.
In my holiday mode I also didn't think about my diet. Had:
And cocktails, wine, cider and beer! That pizza looks huge, I won't lie it was big but the angle of the photo doesn't help. It was yummy though. But it hasn't done me any favours.
Which leads me on to the reason I was blogging before I started blabbing. I have been doing weight watchers and have lost around 8lb in 10 (I think its 10) weeks. Which is ok. But I don't enjoy it. It normally means although me and hubs can have the same dinner, we need to cook them seperate to make sure mine is right for points. I miss not having to worry about seperating them. That's why slimming world worked so well for me. We could cook everything together. It's got me thinking. I only have a couple of weeks of my subsciption for ww online left. Do I stop and switch back to slimming world. I don't think I'll go to group, but I have everything I need. Its such a hard thing to decide. I have no idea why, I have done both now and I am sure slimming world suits my lifestyle better. But weight watchers gives me freedom to eat honey nut for breakfast (sad but true, I missed these alot when I was on slimming world)
Will give myself 2 weeks to decide. Hmmmm really what is next in the diet of Mrs Murphy :S
