History repeating?

This time last year the van was in the garage, and as I'll write about later while reminiscing, we didn't get her back until the night before the wedding. In fact, on the morning of the day before the wedding, she failed her MOT. Luckily all turned out well and she passed in the afternoon.

Back to today and the van is currently in the garage again, awaiting her MOT. If all goes well she'll be back with us on Friday, ready for our anniversary weekend. Maybe it's my lack of confidence that is making me feel negative, but I don't feel very hopeful. Last time it was simple things that failed, this time it's bigger and much more expensive!

Maybe it's time to start looking for weekend away alternatives.

1st August 2010

Ok, so as I mentioned earlier, I'm going to wind the clock back a year and take a look at what I was doing on the build up to the big day. This day last year was a Sunday, and the start of the busiest week I think I have ever had.


The previous day had been spent picking up suits, dropping off dresses for steaming, engagement ring for cleaning, and generally flying about trying to get all the last minute shopping done. Bella the campervan was still in the garage and we had just received the news that she hadn't been sprayed on the Friday as planned, due to the sprayer choosing to focus on his son's Mini instead! Stress levels were pretty high at this point.


Sunday was a pretty quiet day, spent finishing off stationery and picking up family from the station. Looking back now, I realise it was the calm before the storm!

A Year Gone By

This week I am going to try and write about what was going on in my life this time last year, on the run up to the biggest day of my life. This will not only help to jog my appalling memory, but to start bridging the gap from the old blog to this one, and give you readers an insight into what was the busiest but best week in my life so far.
