Well tonight didn't exactly go as planned...
Had lunch with my brother today and went up to my Parents' house afterwards.
Stayed until just before group and then my Dads car wouldn't start!! Tried to get a taxi but there was a 45 minute wait so didn't get there unfortunately.
However when I finally got home (AA driver gave my Mum and me a lift to the garage, which happens to be near my flat!!) I have prepped everything for this week. Eggs for tomorrow are already boiled and cooling off, Pasta, vegetables and Teriyaki Mackerel will be all sorted tomorrow morning and Porridge alongside scales and weigh pot are all out on the side, my cherries are currently defrosting too!
Definitely need to be on it, and make time to get on here as I seem to be mad busy!
Since it is 2017 I can discuss my upcoming wedding a bit more... I am going to the National Railway Museum in York on 15th January with my Mum as there is a Wedding Fayre on! You can actually get married there which would be quirky! We have decided to get married at the Registry Office in Harrogate which overlooks the Stray and is lovely, followed by the reception at the Sun Pavilion which is in the centre of the public park The Valley Gardens (it is so beautiful) it opens up onto a big veranda and looks out all over the park. The date we have chosen is Friday 02nd November 2018 which is a fair bit away but gives me time to get sorted!
Looking forward to maintaining, and eventually getting my 3 Stone Certificate and getting down to 11.7 (Wedding Target!)
Here we go...

Eek very exciting Ruth! Your plans sound wonderful 
good luck with getting back on plan, it seems you're all organised for it which is half the battle.
One of my bridesmaids bought me a wedding planner which was a bit like a filofax and included all sorts- space for you to write down all your booking details for registry office/venue, cake/transport/flowers etc. It had a checklist which was handy too e.g. what should be done with 12 months to go. Might be worth a look to help your planning! X

Pleased to say I'm totally back on track after spending days waffling around. I've done some exercise today and can barely move now! I am so happy for you Ruth, can't wait to hear about the wedding fayre and what type of dress you choose.
Are you feeling completely better now? X

Glad you're back on it and that you've got some exercise in, great for those endorphins! I know I have lots of thinking to do and choices to make! Going to take the advice of @Poppet12 and get a proper planner! I'm not feeling too bad, had a few funny spells over Christmas linked to my new tablets I think but so far so good thank you for asking! Hope that you have a fab day!

Pleased that I'm managing to get back on it; just need to keep this momentum for WI which will hopefully spur me on!
Hope you've had a good day and not too chilly- it's been very cold here, car frosted over again this afternoon and the grass didn't thaw all day.
January is always a tough one money-wise, I think SW can be an expensive way of eating if you make it that way too. I only shopped on Tues and already running out of fresh stuff, but trying to be savvy and stretch it out til weekend..

Oooo those meals look lovely. My sister is coming for tea tomorrow, I think I'll make her the sweet & sour chicken. Years since I've had Edinburgh rock
Oooo enjoy the tea with your sister!! Sounds lovely
yeah my OHs mum and step dad went to Bridlington near Scarborough and picked him up a bag- very nice (my OH is from just south of Edinburgh) I also love the Sistema boxes, so useful!! Hope you've had a good day and a fab evening!!Ruth
