I haven’t done a currently post before and was inspired to give you a little update on my life when I read Katie’s a little while ago.

014
I know this was in my last post too but I like it. Oooooh!

Doing:  Lots of things but nothing at all. That doesn’t even make sense does it? It’s been one of those times where I feel like I haven’t stopped but I haven’t really accomplished anything either. I started my new job last Monday but I’m still finishing off my old one too. These things happen when you change jobs but not companies I guess. I’ve also been doing lots of bits for the wedding. I had my first dress fitting on Saturday, that was exciting. I got to make lots of decisions on the finishes I wanted. I’m not normally very decisive but I knew what I wanted on Saturday.

Eating:  After being so good and really looking after myself and paying attention to what I eat for weeks this weekend I swan dived off the wagon royally. Pizza for my welcome lunch, pizza and crisps at horror movie night, brownies at Cake International, dim sum at Ping Pong and a roast dinner with the in-laws. I need to give my head a wobble and sort myself out. I can really feel it in myself that I’ve slipped for those 3 days.

Planning and Eagerly Anticipating: Our wedding. Although, pretty much everything is sorted now. I still need to pick up a few bits and bobs and a couple of decoration type things need doing but all in all, with 21 weeks to go, we’re sorted. Just bored of waiting for it now.

Listening: I used to listen to music all the time and now the TV seems to have over taken it. Now that I have a car again that I use fairly regularly I’ve been listening to the radio. This probably seems silly to some people but I didn’t realise how much I missed it. XFM is the radio station of choice in the car as it sits well for both Tom and I although I do like to flick it over to Heart for a bit of a sing-song session every now and then.

Learning: I’m trying to develop my baking skills rather than knock up the same old cakes time and time again. My mum bought me a Good Housekeeping baking book a Christmas or so ago and I decided earlier this year that I was going to try a new cake each week out of it. I’ve been trying to make baking Sundays a “thing” in our house but sometimes life gets in the way. As of yesterday I’m up to page 23 or so in the book and I tool a sticky lemon polenta cake round to the in-laws. It went down ok but I wasn’t a fan.

There you have it. My life. currently, in a nutshell.

What have you been up to?

Kisses,

lojo
