Cuppa and a catch up...

Now before we start head off and grab yourself a cuppa, get comfy and we can have a good old natter and a catch up! My tea of choice today is a Blackcurrent Twinning tea in my lovely new Emma Bridgewater mug!

So how are we all???

I thought I would have a little catch up with you all today to see how you all are!

I am starting to get there now after my surgery am able to get up and about now which is better as I didn't really like being chained to the sofa. I have got an infection in one of my wounds which I am taking antibiotics for so hopefully they will start to kick in and get rid of it.

Have you all noticed my new tab up the top??? If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen on Saturday that I posted a screenshot from the Daily Mail website which I was featured on!!!

I cant tell you how excited I was! I have to say though as much as I love my job I am quite enjoying being at home and getting lots of blogging done and this exciting thing would never have happened had I not been at home reading Twitter at the right moment! I didn't actually think for one moment it would actually get mentioned on there as I assumed they would have thousands of replies. It was a bit weird being called a Fashion Blogger because that is something I dont really see myself as but hey ho! A mention is a mention!

Another exciting thing that happened last week is I hit my 3 and a half stone at slimming world! And not only that but while I was recovering in a hospital bed having just had my appendix out, my slimming world class were celebrating me being crowed Miss slinky! So I had to get my sash and certificate last week instead!
I was quite shocked when I saw on facebook that my group had chosen me to be Miss Slinky since I was crowned Woman of the year just a few months back! It has given me a boost and am aiming to get to my 4 stone now for Christmas!

I am looking forward the next couple of weeks! I am off out with my lovely friends I went to university with tonight which I am looking forward to as I havent seen some of them for at least a couple of years! Next Saturday (7th) is our Christmas party at work and now I have found the perfect dress I cant wait!!!  I somehow ended up organising our Christmas Party this year and am looking forward to everyone getting together for a night out as it isnt often all of us get to do that! On the 14th I am taking part in a concert which I am very excited about as it is the chance to sing with a massive choir (compared with the 8 or so people who usually sing in my church choir) and also the chance to sing at a local venue called the Victoria Hall which for you none Stokie people out there is a fantastic venue to sing at!

Then obviously we are in the lead up to Christmas which I LOVE!!!

So how are you all??? Let me know your gossip and what you have been up to!
