The Wedding Diaries – The Dress

Mr and I just decided in January that we would get married this summer.  From my extensive bridesmaid experience I already knew that a wedding dress can take roughly 6 months to arrive, leaving me with little time to find 'the one'. By early February I had secured an appointment at a local wedding dress…

Rambling

I intended a race report from Stirling Half Marathon but I've left it so long it's practically a distant memory! Obviously the PB is memorable and the chafing...oh the chafing... ...I was so excited to see sunshine (it's been a long ass winter) when I woke on race day I swapped my running tights for…

Just a Little Chaos

I am a terribly, unorganised person.  It's actually ridiculous the predicaments I've gotten myself into purely because I failed to prepare. 'Fail to prepare, prepare to fail'. I've turned up at a wedding without the wedding gift - so embarrassing,  I've also had to go to work wearing a sweaty sports bra and almost trainers…

It’s all Ed Sheeran’s fault

Just before Christmas Kevin tagged me in a link on Facebook to Ed Sheeran's re-recording with Beyoncé of his song Perfect. I'm not a huge fan of ballad type love songs but I am a huge Beyoncé fan ( hence the tag) and let's be honest everyone has a soft spot Ed. I fell in…

The Office – Ep4 – The New Girl…. or Lady

Remember way back in July I mentioned that I was being moved to a new branch at work? Well it happened.  On the 4th of Sept 2017. I know, I know, I'm only telling you about it NOW but in my defence I was waiting until I had fully settled in to my new surroundings…

2018 Goals

I've never been big on resolutions. I'd make them, knowing full well I'd be over them a week in, quickly reverting back to the same old procrastinating, chocolate munching, gin sipping, telly addict I was the year before... I may or may not currently be lying on my bed in the room I'm supposed to…

Can’t cook, won’t cook

I am a self confessed foodie.  I LOVE food, I love trying new foods and I have a very long list of favourite's because I could never choose just one! Considering my huge love of food, I strangely don't like cooking.  I'm not terrible at it, but I'm not great either. I can follow a…

Moving the damn wardrobe.

Winter, for me,  is like a huge, solid wood wardrobe has been strategically placed at the front door with its doors open ready to encapsulate all my positive vibes and energy before they have a chance to circulate the house spreading their magic.  What I'm trying to say is but I'm not good with metaphors…

One for Parents

I'm not a parent so forgive me if it's arrogant of me to offer advice on parenting but hear me out. I'm a white girl, born in Scotland.  Racism was never, to my memory, discussed in my household as a child, not at my friends houses, my church or even at my primary school.  …

One Hundred

Today I had planned to be either road tripping La Cote d'Azur or signing the conclusion of missives on the purchase of a house... what was it Rabbie Burns said 'the best laid plans.... Instead, today I am at work, feeling a little miserable that my plans always seem to end up floating in the…
