We've set a date!

We've finally set a date for the wedding, 18th May 2013. The church is all booked along with the Venue.

Here's a picture of the church, St Ffraids church and it's where my mum got married :)



Here's where the reception and evening will be; the Treaddur Bay Hotel. The function room is amazing and directly overlooking the beach!


I went dress shopping the other day and have seen the exact style I want, lots of dieting to go before I even start trying some dresses on though. Went off the diet over Christmas (naturally, lol) and went back on it mid Jan. I have lost 9lbs so far and Nolan has lost so much more. Now that we've actually set a date and I have seen some wedding dresses, it's real motivation to get down to the size I want to be :) Speak soon!

Weight loss: Week 2...

Kim: 2lbs

Nolan: 1lb

We had a bad week this week, we went home for the weekend and went out for dinner with Yasmin, and didn't eat very healthy because we were out all day! But, glad that we've both lost weight instead of putting on, lol.

In other news, as I said before we went home to see Yasmin for the weekend. She's a big fan of these "knock knock" jokes and would not stop with them, lol. Her favourite was...

"knock knock..."
"Who's there?...
"...."
"hello, who's there?"...
"NOBODY...HAHAHAHA"

Weight Loss: Week 1...

Week 1 of diet/exercise plan down! It's so much easier sticking to it when I'm blogging about it, feeling so much better physically too and it's only been 1 week! Had our weigh in yesterday and the results are below (drumroll ......)

Kim's weight loss :- 3lbs

Nolan's weight loss :- 6lbs

(Slightly gutted Nolan's lost more weight than me, lol but well done babe :D)

Will update again next week!

As of tomorrow...

As of tomorrow Nolan and I will be on one huge diet! We both need to shift some weight and get healthier, myself especially! We're both off work tomorrow so we will be going out to get a huge healthy food shop, and after work every night we'll be going for a brisk walk around the neighbourhood along with doing individual exercise plans. Not only will it be good exercise for us, we'll also get to catch up on each other's news and have a good chat. We are both so happy and comfortable with each other that we have let things go, not bothered with exercise and eating healthier etc so now is the time to change that! AND of course, we'll be planning the wedding soon so it will be good motivation to lose a decent amount of weight! Wish us luck! Will be posting our progress.

Happy Halloween !

Happy Halloween everybody! Here's Yasmin dressed as a Kitty Cat...



I went out and bought a load of sweeties and chocolates and spent ages making little goodie bags for the trick or treaters and we only had 9 kids come here, haha! We decorated the whole place in work with balloons, ghosts, cobwebs etc and management came around with sweets and toffee apples for everybody! Everyone really got into the Halloween "spirit" this year haha :) Bye for now!

Yasmin's 5th Birthday!

Yasmin has just gone home :( We all had such a lovely week together! She loved her presents, especially her Nintendo DSi! She opened all of her DSi games first and was like "but I haven't got a DSi?", lol and then she opened it and literally screamed and ran up to us to hug us :) Here's a few pics!











On the Sunday after her birthday we brought her back down to South Wales with us for a few days! We were so lucky with the weather too, it has been boiling recently! We did painting, took her swimming, bowling, and for picnics to the park! I was working all week (boo!) so only got to spend the evenings with her and Nolan. It was so soul-crushing leaving them in bed while I got up at 6:15am :( was literally counting down the minutes in work! We ate out practically every day too (whoops!), but I couldn't face spending my evening with Yas cooking in a boiling kitchen, lol.

Yasmin, Kimmi and "dad", lol.











Nolan and I were so sad when she had to go home, she ended up staying one extra night than planned so we were made up. She got so spoilt by us too (even after her birthday presents) we can't help it, lol.

I totally forgot to get a new camera too so these pictures are pretty crappy, definitely getting a new camera on my next pay-day!

How Lucky Am I?!...

So, I'm having a happy day today and realised just how lucky I really am. I had a fun day in work and have met some lovely new friends. I have full-time job that I enjoy (which is hard to come by these days), a loving fiance, a wonderful step-daughter (who will be in Cardiff in 2 weeks) and a supportive family. Life could be a lot worse right now :)

Although, I was dreading coming home from work today because I had been in a rush in the morning, and knew I needed to tidy up... a lot. But, I came home and Nolan had tidied the whole house for me :) Little things like this make me realise how lucky I am, he's working two jobs and he still does things that would make my day a bit easier. It made me smile today too when I looked in the sink and I noticed he'd tried to make an omelette and had burnt the whole pan, lol. I had a phone call off an embarrassed Nolan then, saying how "he tried" and how "I make much better omelettes". He was like, "Kim, it was horrible, seriously", lol.

It makes such a difference knowing I can come home now and watch some TV, a bit of blogging, Facebooking, Tweeting and not have to waste two hours tidying and cleaning. So I'm relaxing tonight! Aaaaaah, thanks Nolan!
