Ok, ok, I admit it. I was wrong about the Olympics. Far from being a transport and tourist nightmare, it was actually one of the nicest times EVER to be in London. Those lovely pink-jacketed transport helpers were brilliant, directing people to the right tubes and trains, while the maroon-clad volunteers were just so smiley …
I caught about half of a Radio 4 Woman’s Hour debate this morning on the pressure women feel to look good – partly inspired by some idiotic comments by Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles. He’d been making disparaging remarks about some of the female Olympic athletes’ bodies. Excuse me, Chris Moyles, but aren’t you a …
I knew, when I volunteered to test Sorelle non-alcoholic wine, that my timing was off. I was in the middle of wedding plans which, of course, were rapidly spiralling out of any semblance of control, and if anyone had offered me booze with more alcohol than usual in it, I would have ripped the bottle …
…… and, of course, where would we have been without our amazing photographer? Lots of people have commented on how cleverly the lovely Jay Mountford managed to capture our day. I met Jay at a bloggers’ conference where she was transforming a whole roomful of us from an unruly rabble into a beautifully organised calendar, …
I haven’t blogged for so long, I have a bit of a pile-up of subjects to address. Blogstipation, I think it’s called. Well, I’m going to put all that right and get everything out of my system, if that isn’t too revolting a metaphor. I’ll start with the obvious – our wedding. One friend very …
I am on hold. I’ve been on hold for, oh, about 3 betrillion years. I’m listening to nasty rap music on the speaker so I don’t have to clasp the phone to my ear. I’m on the phone to the London 2012 ticketing service, trying to find out where our Olympic tickets have got to. …
Gosh, I haven’t popped in here for a while. I shall have to have a quick flick round with my feather duster and get down to some serious catching up. In the meantime, have a look at this lovely picture, taken by Jay Mountford, from our wedding on Saturday. The dress did turn up, the …
Just in case you’re wondering, MY &%$#@ WEDDING DRESS ISN’T READY YET! I shall leave a little space while we all panic a bit. Yes, you’re right, we need more space than that. Ok. Deep breaths now. It turns out the shop, in its infinite lack of wisdom, had decided that my lovely wedding …
Sponsored post Can I just say, arghhhhhhhhhh! My wedding dress isn’t ready yet. Arghhh. Arghhh!! Deep breath. Deep breath. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, review time. First of all, a huge thank you to Charlie Bigham’s incredibly delicious ready meals. I must have had a conversation with a lovely PR about this at some …
Ooops, sorry, I’ve been neglecting you – it’s been half term, that’s one excuse. The other is I’m GETTING MARRIED IN 12 DAYS’ TIME! Eeek! While, obviously, this is a Good Thing, it is also a rather Stressful Thing. Second weddings ought to be like second children – a little bit more relaxed. But my …
