Hey Jules!

Dont worry! You are super busy at the mo! You seem to be finding your feet well with your new class, glad u like them! I am almost used to the new uniform. A lot of the older nurses are quite angry about it, saying they worked hard for it and now look like a cleaner lol. I don't mind it, and its pretty comfy. The pen thing is a bit irritating though!

Fright night was pretty good indeed! Have you seen it? I love a good scare, although scary films ain't for everyone!

You making anything tasty this weekend? I'm doing fajitas tonight and pancakes tomorrow! Your Apple buns looked great by the way Xxx

Thanks Gem! Haha glad you're getting used to the uniform! I haven't seen fright night but was thinking I might go and see it but my bf doesn't like scary films much (he is a wimp).

Extra HEB's used twice, thought it was more than that but can't see it anywhere. Probably a good thing as I feel I nave gorged a bit this week. Hoping for a STS tomorrow.

Deposit down on chair covers today, such a boring rubbish wedding task, can't say I spent a lot of time on this one so hopefully that won't come back and bite me in the ass! Next is getting my makeup guy confirmed. I can't believe this time next year I will have been married 8 months!

The other night I had a dream (nightmare rather): mum phoned me the morning of the wedding refusing to come because she hated her outfit. Then I got so drunk I couldn't remember any of the wedding. Then I realised I had married the wrong groom!! It's wasn't my monkey man it was my ex! I then spent the rest of the dream confused and devastated trying to find my actual groom. When I eventually got him on the phone he told me where to go for marrying someone else! Talk about an anxiety dream ha ha!

Friday 16th September

STS this morning. Don't know if its a good thing that my scales are so detailed. They tell u percentages of water, muscle mass, bone and fat. So I end up analysing everything!

I am a bit of a dipstick but does anyone know, is it ounces in pounds? And if so how many? These are creeping up slowly. Altho my muscle mass has risen too. This is going to be bad for me, I can tell!
