Five for 5 - 3 March 2014

 

We're into a new Month so this week I will be featuring my goals for the month as well as the weeks goals. 

1) Get to the gym twice this week.  Managed twice this week so am happy with this. 

2) Drink at least two bottles of water everyday. Dwindled a little but still managed at least one and a half. 

3) When my last packet of Cigarettes has finished, don't buy anymore - Get on the E-cigarette. This thing has been a godsend and I haven't smoked as much. 

4) Sort out Ideas for Table Plans. Got some ideas floating around but they're not set in stone.

5) Make List of Wedding Breakfast & Evening Reception attendees.  Just waiting on seeing who else replies and then will be chasing folk up. 

This weeks goals are simple.

1) Get to gym at least twice again.
2) Drink at least 2litres of  water everyday.
3) Have fruit and yoghurt for breakfast.
4) Soup or salad for lunch.
5) No carbs at tea-time.

The month's goals are:
1) Lose a stone by the end of the month.
2) Get to the gym three times every week because membership runs out this month.
3) Sort out and sell anything I will not be taking to Kevin's.
4) Move some stuff over to Kevin's when the back room is finished.
5) Move into Kevin's at the end of the month if I can.

Five for 5 - 24 February 2014

Not done very well this week. So the goals are staying the same. 

1) Get to the gym twice this week. 

2) Drink at least two bottles of water everyday.

3) When my last packet of Cigarettes has finished, don't buy anymore - Get on the E-cigarette.

4) Sort out Ideas for Table Plans.

5) Make List of Wedding Breakfast & Evening Reception attendees. 

Five for 5 - 17 February 2014

Extremely disappointed with myself this week because I didn't get to the gym once. 
1) Get to the gym TWICE.  This never happened again because of Kevin's mum still being in hospital and I don't like going on my own after that Asian man tried to chat me up. Made me feel uncomfortable. 

2) Drink plenty of water this week. Drank a full bottle of water everyday, so pleased with this. 

3) Remind Kevin that he needs to speak to John about the Suits for the wedding and arrange a fitting on SATURDAY. Suits are finally sorted, Kevin and John went down to get measured. Everyone else needs to be measured before end of May with the final fitting 1 week before the wedding on 9th.

4) Buy Kevin something for Valentine's day. - God Knows what. Just bought him a bottle opener and bottle stopper with a little teddy.

5) Cook dinner for me and Kevin on Friday - Seeing it's Valentine's Day, but I'm working until 6 so it will have to be something quick and easy. Didn't have to cook as Kevin managed to get tickets for the 110 to watch Gemma Louise Doyle. There was a hot & cold buffet on. 

This weeks goals are as follows:- 

1) Get to the gym twice this week. 

2) Drink at least two bottles of water everyday.

3) When my last packet of Cigarettes has finished, don't buy anymore - Get on the E-cigarette.

4) Sort out Ideas for Table Plans.

5) Make List of Wedding Breakfast & Evening Reception attendees. 

Five for 5 - 10 February 2014

1) Get to the gym at least twice this week.  - Managed Once because kevin's mum got taken into Hospital on Wednesday night. 

2) Finish off the last of our wedding invitations. Finally got these finished and now they've been sent. 

3) Sort out handbags for selling and put all the ones I'm keeping into a large storage box - ready to take to Kevin's. Did this in one go. 

4) Sort out my nic-nac's and decide what I want to take to Kevin's - everything else will go in storage. - THIS WILL PROBABLY TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

5) Sort out essentials to take to Kevin's. THIS WILL ALSO TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

Been a rough week so It's not surprising that I only managed to get two out of my five goals completed! 

This weeks are going to focus on much of the same.

1) Get to the gym TWICE. 

2) Drink plenty of water this week.

3) Remind Kevin that he needs to speak to John about the Suits for the wedding and arrange a fitting on SATURDAY. 

4) Buy Kevin something for Valentine's day. - God Knows what.

5) Cook dinner for me and Kevin on Friday - Seeing it's Valentine's Day, but I'm working until 6 so it will have to be something quick and easy.

Five for 5 - 20 January 2014

Weekly Goals - 14 January 2014

1) Get to the gym at least twice this week. I need to get going with this. Kevin and I have 3 months free Gold membership at the Oaks Hotel where we have booked our wedding reception. I have my first dress fitting sometime in March, So want to be nice and trim for that....I am really pleased that I managed to accomplish this. Need to do the same this week, if not increase to 3 times. 

2) Drink no more than 3 cups of tea with milk a day. I do drink a lot of tea. Doing this will help cut down on my caffeine intake. Really pleased with this. 

3) Have Green tea at least 3 times a day. Green tea is good for cleansing and acts as a natural laxative. I need to shift water so this will help with water retention issues. Again really pleased with this. 

4) Have NO sugary drinks at ALL during the week. Diet sodas and sodas not only contain a lot of sugar but also sweeteners such as aspartame which is not good for you. Cutting the diet soda out during the week will prove helpful. Let myself down with this one slightly, as I did drink diet soda when mum and I went to boundary mill the other day. Mind you 1/5 isn't too bad I guess. 

5) Have my 5 a Day - Fresh fruit and vegetables everyday, every week.  Again really pleased that I managed to accomplish this. 

I am happy with this weeks results. 4/5 tasks completed is not bad at all. 

So now onto this weeks goals.

1) Get to the gym again at least twice if not three times this week. ( I need to get at least one session in the pool in!)

2) Drink at least  500 millilitres of water everyday if I can. ( I bought a new sports bottle from Sports Direct yesterday when I went in to look for some tracksuit pants. It was only 50p! So thought why the heck NOT!)

3) Green tea again this week. At least 2 cups a day, if not 3.

4) Fruit and vegetables are on the agenda again, everyday get my 5 a day.

5) Sort out the last of mine and Kevin's Evening  Invitations to our  Wedding on 16th August this year. 

As usual, accomplished tasks will be highlighted in Green, Semi-accomplished in Orange and Non Completed in Red.

New Year - New Blog & Five for 5

As many of you who follow this blog will know, I don't tend to post everyday. I'm usually too busy during the day and too tired when I get home at night to think about blogging.

But after catching up on a few blogs that I follow, I've decided to try and make the time to actually BLOG. Ok it might not be everyday but I've decided that if I can actually blog at least four days out of seven then that will make me equally happy. 

It's been a while since I've taken part in a link up and this one used to be such good fun. So without further adieu...

Five for 5 - Tuesday 14 January 2014. Accomplishments will be recorded in Green. Non-Accomplishments in Red. And those Nearly Accomplished in Orange. 

Weekly Goals - 14 January 2014

1) Get to the gym at least twice this week. I need to get going with this. Kevin and I have 3 months free Gold membership at the Oaks Hotel where we have booked our wedding reception. I have my first dress fitting sometime in March, So want to be nice and trim for that....

2) Drink no more than 3 cups of tea with milk a day. I do drink a lot of tea. Doing this will help cut down on my caffeine intake.

New Year New Me

Happy 2014 fellow bloggers. Now that's out of the way, we know what the new year is all about - making New Year Resolutions and of course sticking to them.

So my Resolutions for this year are as follows: -

1) Finally Give up Smoking ( I've had 5 since New Year's Day).
2) Save the money I was spending on Cigarettes to pay for stuff towards our wedding.
3) Get to the gym and work off this fat - taking advantage of 3 months free gym membership at our wedding reception venue.
4) Throw out and de-clutter anything I don't need anymore so that I don't have too much crap to take to Kevin's when I finally move in with him.
5) Get THAT new job I so rightfully deserve.
6) Eat more healthily and use fry light for cooking/frying stuff.
7) Lose 3 Stones by March for when I have my first dress fitting!

So that's my Resolutions. What about you?

Kevin's Birthday Weekend

This weekend was Kevin's birthday. I feel quite sad but am happy at the same time.

Why sad you say? Well this time next year he won't be my fiance anymore.....
He will be my Husband. Finally after years of waiting for my Mr Right and the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, I found Kevin. Kevin and I met through a mutual friend seven years ago and although we have had our up's and downs I'm pleased to say that Kevin is my Mr Right. I love this man so much, words cannot describe...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GemKqzILV4w

Back to the Birthday weekend now. Our friend Dani ( said mutual friend earlier on) and her fella Paul were up from London for the weekend as they would be flying out to Perth - Australia on the Sunday morning - the day of Kevin's birthday. Dani had suggested that we go out for a meal because we wouldn't see them over Christmas with them being in Perth. We had originally opted for Beijing, a local Chinese restaurant but thought it to be rather expensive, we finally decided on The New Waggoners. A local pub/restaurant. All the food is homemade and you get loads. I decided on the Braised Steak in Peppercorn sauce as I have had it before from there and it is divine, like heaven in your mouth. As soon as you cut into the meat it falls apart. It's one of the best things ever. For starter I had homemade Thai Fishcakes. These were lovely, so moist and soft, not gooey and crammed with potatoes, just plenty of flaked salmon. Heaven.

Kevin had the chicken goujons which were seriously spicy, they tasted like they had been flame cooked and had a spicy middle eastern fiery kick about them. Next he decided to have Whale and Chips for his main. And boy was it a whale!!!!

Kevin and The Whale.

He struggled to eat it, I can tell you and I know my Kevin likes his food. But this was so big, that even for Kevin it was a challenge. When the time came for us to leave and say goodbye to our friends Dani and Paul, they headed home and we were picked up by Kevin's brother Mark. He dropped us off at the Miners where we met some other friends. Steve and his girlfriend Kelly along with Steve's daughter Sam who was celebrating her birthday that day. Sam suffers from Cerebral Palsy and is one of the loveliest girls I've met. She's not only very pretty, but clever, witty and doesn't take crap from anyone. She's always telling her dad Steve off, she takes the piss out of him. But Steve being Steve takes it on his chin and just tells her to shut up. We only had a couple of drinks with them and decided to head for home but not before a quick trip into the 110 for a bit of entertainment. Normally we don't go in when a particular singer known as Mike Alone is on, but we knew we wouldn't stay long....

The following morning was Kevin's Birthday. Yeeeeeeaaaah! I love birthday's and being able to spend the day with my gorgeous man on his last birthday as a fiance is one of the best feelings in the world. So after Kevin opened his cards and presents we headed off to see his mom and dad before heading off to Asda (Walmart for my American readers) to do some shopping and get something for dinner. 

Next it was back home for a quick bite to eat - Bacon, sausage and egg for me and Bacon and sausage butties for Kevin.  Then we headed round to Kevin's brothers to pick up some presents Dani and Paul had left with him for Christmas before heading into town to sort out a dress that Kevin had bought for me. I then proceeded to drag Kevin round the shops looking for Christmas decorations for his flat. For the last couple of years he's only had a tree up but this year I wanted to make my mark, so i'm slowly  adding little things. Here's a few decorations I've put up so far. 

 

Kevin's Tree

The lonely Snowman - I need to get him a mate.

These cute paper balls remind me of when I was little - I need to get some more. The cute wreath on the door welcomes you into "our" (well at least it will be ours next Christmas) home. I wanted something to brighten up the mirror in the background as well but nothing too over the top so this star garland was perfect. 

I've just got a few more bits to add to Kevin's tree and he'll try and put his window lights and decorations up and we are sorted. 

So that's what we got up to this weekend. What did ya'll get up to?

Lace & Tiaras, Garters & Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Something Old, Something New!

OUR LOVE STORY

Yes Kevin and I have finally set a date for our Wedding! We originally decided on 6th September 2014, but one of Kevin's friend's couldn't make it and we both want him there so we moved the date to 30th August 2014.



Yesterday (Tuesday 22nd) we met with the Wedding Coordinator at The Oaks Hotel in Burnley. I had my 21st there and it's still as beautiful as I remember it. So we told her our date, she checked the diary and low & behold the date had been booked. We said we can be flexible with our dates and finally moved our date to 16th August. Almost a month earlier than we originally planned. At least it will STILL be Summer and might be a warm day, September is often a bit nippy and you never know what the weather will be like, so I'm actually quite pleased that we've moved the date to 16th August.



That's 3 changes in the space of a fortnight! Now that Kevin's decided on his attire and our colour theme of Claret and Ivory has been decided, we can now think about booking the Oaks, finding my dress and sorting our cupcakes, finalizing our choice of Wedding Car to get us both to the Church,  sort our Photographer and our Invitations.

I've found my dress!
We've booked the Oaks...the deposit's been paid and it's all in hand....next up is the photographer and the invitations! Come on Gregg get a move on with the printing!!!!!



Then it's all systems GO! The Pilling-McKnight Wedding can get underway!

If I were....

If I were a(n)...

MONTH, I would be...July/August - Summer in Salou. Beaches and Brain freezing iced slush, San Miguel by the pool.

COLOR, I would be... Claret...my wedding colour and Burnley Football Club.

TIME OF DAY, I would be... the hour surrounding sunrise, where everything is peaceful. The day is new and fresh, still quiet, and with muted colors, slowly warming as the sun peeks over the horizon.

SUPERPOWER, I would be... time travel. Relive favorite memories, savor them again. Visit with loved ones who've passed away, hear more of their stories. Explore other times in history, observing quietly from the edges. See my Granddad Hawil one last time.

FLOWER, I would be... a big bold Sunflower.

SONG, I would be... Kenny Chesney's "I'm Alive," because if anything captures my attitude toward life, it's the words in that song.

ITEM OF CLOTHING, I would be... pajama pants: soft and comforting, made for relaxing. Oh and a Onesie.

ANIMAL, I would be... domestic cat. Independent when necessary. I require my personal space and others are only welcome into on my terms. I can be sleepy or playful...occasionally a bit hissy.

FOOD, I would be... a box of chocolates. You never know quite what you're going to get. Especially before you open the box.

MOVIE, I would be... "It's a Wonderful Life." A life lesson, one I try to live by.

CITY/TOWN, I would be... Salou, Spain. Just having sunshine most of the year round and being able to go into shops etc and have the people know who you are even if they only see you once a year.

SPORT, I would be... Soccer. Or as us Brits like to call it - Football.

TV CHARACTER, I would be...

EMOTION, I would be...Happy - All the time.

DIRECTION, I would be... North. You can take a Northern Girl south, but she'll never change her Northern roots for anyone.

SOUND, I would be... laughter. It's good for the soul. I seek out ways to be silly every day. I'm so not changing this answer!

HOLIDAY, I would be... Christmas. I don't believe in all the presents and the spending money, drinking and all that. Christmas is about the birth of Christ and the celebration of his birth.

SCENT, I would be a mixture of Cookies and Cream or Strawberry and Vanilla. These smells are some of my favourite. 

Five things

1) New recipe tried this month:
I wouldn't say they were new but I've had a few soups made in the soup maker.


2) Restaurants where I ate:
Sycamore Farm with Kevin and my Folks.

3) Five things I am loving this month:
1. Seeing everything coming into place for the wedding.
2. My Homemade wedding invitations.
3. Homity Pie....I am going to make this!
4. Seeing Kevin's mum getting a little stronger everyday.
5. My ickle Cat Pencil case. 


4) Something I learned:
That Wedding Photographers do NOT come cheap. Kevin seems to think they do. 

5) The best part of this month and the worst part of this month: 
Finding my perfect wedding dress! I saw it at a Bridal fair being modeled and I knew it was the one I wanted. It's just gorgeous.

Having a row with Kevin on Sunday about him telling his brother about my putting wine in my bolognese sauce. Kevin and his brother and sister-in-law apparently had a laugh at my expense. I was not best pleased. 

A Little Sunshine Link Up

Now to answer the questions that Miranda asked me:

1. What is your absolute, least favorite household chore? This would definitely be the Vacuuming. I totally detest it.

3. Do you prefer to live in the city, or in a more rural setting? I wouldn't mind living in the city, but here in my little village is fine. It's usually quiet and peaceful. We do get the odd drama now and again, that's about it.

Finish the Sentence Link Up.

I'm linking up with Jake and Holly for Finish the Sentence...I loved this last time.

My happy place...Is in my bed or better still on the balcony of our hotel room in Salou. I can sit here for hours and chill out under that sun. Hopefully get some writing done and read a lot.

Whatever happened to... My Wrinkles Dog. God I loved that toy.

So what if I....am addicted to crisps and can't lose weight.

E! needs a reality show about...Writers

My go-to fast food meal is... KFC

You might not know that I....am trying to write a novel...

The hottest quarterback in the NFL is...I don't know. I don't watch NFL.

If I could....win the lottery I would just jump on a plane and head off to Salou, I'd be more than happy to say goodbye to work and everything cold and miserable about Britain for a few weeks. 

Twerking is....Just simply not right. 

I think it's super gross when...Philly cheese goes moldy. Ewwww.

Someone needs to tell Miley Cyrus....to get the heck off my TV- like right NOW! 

Tuesday Topics-7 American Cities

It's link up time again, this time with Lauren for Tuesday Topics.

This week 7 American Cities I want to visit. Well I have not really been to that many. 

The places I've visited in America are.... San Diego, La Jolla, LA, Santa Barabara, Santa Monica, Las Vegas. That's it! Do small towns count?

The ones I do want to see though are:-

1. San Francisco - I've always wanted to visit Alcatraz and ride on the trams. So much to do as well.

2. New York - A trip to America isn't complete without visiting New York.

3. Chicago - The windy city. Plus my cousin who we don't see that often lives here.

4. Seattle - Not just because it's where Fifty shades of Grey was set, but because one of my favourite TV shows was set here - Fraiser. God I loved that show. 

5. Dallas- Because it's home to one of the most popular 80's shows ever made....need I say anything more?

6. Miami - Just for the beaches and the glorious nightlife and the weather of course!

7. Finally New Orleans - Home of Blues and everything else connected with the South.....

Can I include one more? Purrlease.....No I hear you say. Well I'm going to anyway so there.

I would also love to visit Memphis...because this is where Elvis Presley's home - Graceland's is located and I've always been a fan.

So there's my 7 (8) American Cities I want to visit...what's on your list?
