Saturday May 23rd

Wedding just over a week away!

There’s this thing going around Facebook called a ‘no make-up selfie’. You’re supposed to take off all your make-up and do a selfie looking rough.

Brandi volunteered me, but there’s no way I’m taking a close-up of my baby-worn face. No way.

Sunday May 24th

Made Nick promise to go on a bank holiday picnic tomorrow.

We can talk about the wedding day (not long now!) and plans for the future and get ourselves in a really positive frame of mind.

Ended up having to watch some boring war film as a bribe, but it will be worth it. Because tomorrow we’ll have a lovely family picnic at Hyde Park, and talk about our wedding day.

I’ve even bought a wicker picnic hamper with chequered cloth inside and little elastic loops for cutlery.

Spring Bank Holiday

Baguette, wheel of brie, Kettle Chips, bottle of elderflower water – all packed into our new picnic hamper.

And it poured with rain.

Nick thought it was hilarious.

He sat on the sofa all day eating Kettle Chip and brie sandwiches, watching theWizard of Ozand saying, ‘Whoever cast the Tin Man is awanker. He so can’t act.’

Wednesday May 27th

Counting the days until the wedding now!

All my friends keep nominating me for a no-make-up selfie.

Thursday May 28th

Had a brainwave! Put up a picture of Taylor Swift as my no-make-up selfie. Hopefully, everyone will think it’s funny and not bother me to do a real one.

Friday May 29th

25 comments on my Facebook page telling me off for my Taylor Swift picture.

Put up a real picture of my tired face.

Got a load of lovely comments telling me how beautiful I look without make-up. Awwww…

Monday June 1st

THIS MONTH I WILL BE A MARRIED WOMAN!

Daisy will finally have a mum and dad with the same surname.

Ah, poor Daisy.

She just couldn’t sleep last night.

I think she was over-tired. The only way I could get her to nod off was walking around the room making Darth Vader breathing noises and bending my legs in time to the Hokey Cokey.
