What a hectic week!!!

Wow this week has been one busy week so sorry for the lack of blogging!

Last saturday I finally sorted my hair out and when for the chop! I had been wanting to have something done for a while and had seen a couple of things online I loved and I trust my hair dresser Matt completely to do a fab job so I went for it!

Heres a before and after shot. Excuse the dopy face on the second one - its not easy trying to take a cheeky selfie in the middle of town! 

On Wednesday (yes Wednesday) I went to a very lovely wedding!!! I have known the couple for a long time and have been very much looking forward to this wedding since the date was set! The couple were are my (are you ready for this) brothers fiancĂ©'s Sister and her fiancĂ©. My brother and his fiancĂ© have been dating for 8 years and her Sister and her now husband have been dating about 5 or so I think. They are an absolutely lovely couple. Ash (the groom) and my brother are really good pals and get on really well so naturally he asked my brother to be the best man which was lovely! Anyway some piccies!

It was a really lovely day. The weather stayed nice all day. The brides dress was absolutely stunning and not what I expected at all. Not only was the wedding lovely but it was so nice to see my brother all dressed up. It was so weird seeing him standing up there at the front of the church next to Ash. My brother and his fiancĂ© havent set a date for their wedding but they know that they are going to get married in about 3 years time which makes me extremely excited!!! 

To end my in a lovely way. Friday I finished my last day in my job and on Monday I am starting a new job. Its within the same office and the same team I have been working with but I will be working as a data manager which I am really looking forward to. Basically it will mean that you know when you hear all these stats on the news about patients that have been operated on and percentages of people treated with cancer etc, i will be the one behind the scenes doing the work for the 2 teams at our hospital that I will be working for. I am very excited about starting this. I haven't been 100% happy at work for a couple of months now since a lot of changes went on and this step forward is completely in my direction. 

Yesterday I had arranged to meet up with my best friend from high school. We talk on a regular basis but I don't see her as much as we would like! We always say every time we go out we should make girly days more of a regular thing and yet one thing or another gets in the way. However this time we are determined to do it! We are planning a girly trip to Birmingham in the next couple of months which I am very excited about. I had a really lovely day. We chatted about anything and everything; babies (she has a little boy), love lives and enjoyed a couple of cheeky afternoon drinks.  It was lovely having a nice afternoon and chatting to someone who knows exactly where my head is at! You know when you have that one friend you can talk about anything to.. thats her! 

So all in all a fab week really. I am excited about the week ahead, starting my new job and I have some posts lined up for you - some foodie, some beauty so a mixed bag for you :) I hope you dont mind this! If you have any ideas of what you would like to see give me a shout :) 

Hope you have all had a good week and are looking forward to the week ahead :) xx
