I think I'm starting to get slightly organised....I say slightly!
The wedding: need to get that sorted but I think our daytime list is done so that's good! I also need to order my bridesmaids dresses. I might do that now!
Anne Summers, getting a fair few parties, which is quite fun. Hopefully it will pick up. I made the most sales in our team this week again, apart from my boss. woot! Got a party down at Cambois tomorrow which should be a good 'un!
Bailed on my piano exam this time. I just wasn't ready but I will be for winter, and maybe for flute too hopefully. It sounds stupid but I'm doing a bar and a scale per night on my pieces and 4 bars on flute plus technical exercises. I really want to be good so I need to work on small parts all the time, I work better that way. I'm also thinking about hosting a concert later in the year, for Tiny Lives. Can't believe I didn't think of that earlier.
Ellie's night isn't far away and I am SO excited.
Ellie, I miss you loads, I hope you never think you are forgotten. You are always making me try for better
things, chubnut x

Tick tock
goes the clock and I have so much to do all the time!
We had our genetic counselling yesterday and the crux of it was even if they can't find the gene, they can probably offer us the CVS which is pretty fantastic news if they can do that. It takes approx. 3 months for the results to come back from Cardiff.
Work is going ok, it isn't the most exciting job but I really like the people. The Ann Summers gig is a lot of fun too and there are so many incentives to keep you going! I have a party tomorrow night and one in Cambois on Tuesday. The one in Cambois will be a scream as the lasses down there are a good laugh.
It was Lee's first father's day Sunday past and I spoiled him! So did Ellie with her little trick. Lee always puts her name on the domino card at the golf club and never wins. Except father's day, when he won a four ball game at Bedlington Golf Club. It was Ellie's present to him, I am sure of it and so is he.
The wedding is getting closer all the time. It's crazy, I find myself looking at other guys (not fancying them or anything) and thinking am I really going to spend my life with Lee? It is a big commitment but I know I'm doing the right thing because I also find myself sitting at work and I can't concentrate because all I can think about is him. We are two and a half years into our relationship and still in a honeymoon period for the majority of the time. He is so lush.
The planning for Ellie's night is going well, managed to blag some great raffle goodies from various local shops and businesses!

Sense and Sensibility
Life, as always, is so busy. This helps the anxiety, not so much the energy!
I went to a charity ball on Thursday night for the Princess Ellie Trust and Wansbeck SCBU, it was very formal and a great night. There was a slide show of Ellie (not my Ellie) and her short 2 year life. Well, I very nearly had a nervous breakdown! At least I eventually got to meet Ellie's mum, Rachel, and Bailey's mum, Julie, who have been only too helpful with charity stuff. I've cried a fair bit for Ellie this week, I miss her so much, but helping others gets me through.
I do need to be sensible though. I want to be a biomed scientist, this is true. However, doing three subjects of two years work in one year, I can't do it. Yes, if I don't work, but that isn't an option. I'm working 9-5 during the day and now, I'm trying to kick off my Ann Summers career, which has a lot of potential. This is all around my piano and other musical bits. Even A Level students don't do 3 subjects in one year and especially not with 2 of the hardest subjects.
I feel like a failure, like I should be able to do it all in one year and like, what's in between for me for the next 2 years but I guess there could be a baby at some point, lots of fun working for Ann Summers, my job, holidays, charity nights and still my A Levels.....just not all crammed in so much I fail.
Sigh....I always feel like I make the wrong decisions in life.

Rough
Alcohol is the devil! Lee and I had far too much last night and were rough today! The only problem is you get nothing done and it's a total waste of the weekend.
Went to charlton's for dinner with Evyn and our new little mate, Charlotte. It was nice but I was a bit put off by my beef because there was bits with tubes on which I'd like to bt were arteries. Disgusting. Apparently people from Cambois are already asking for tickets for Ellie's night which is amazing. Apparently John charlton is away that week but I didn't want to change the date again. I'll never be able to decide on a costume! I still think me and Evyn should go as wills and Kate lol.
I have SO much to do this week. I'm going to cry lol!

Who needs sleep?
It will prepare me for Ellie's sibling haha!
Did quite well on my first week at work but it is tiring, in the lethargic sense sitting at a desk all day. Then I come home, practice piano and cram in what I can. I've also signed up to be an Ann Summers party rep which I actually think will be quite fun.
We are also having the Ellie Forrest memorial night, woohoo! It's in Cambois at Charlton's pub, a really great pub with good prices! It's fancy dress too so I'm planning for July 16th already!

Day 1
First day of work went pretty well. Made about £500 in sales in two hours yay me. The morning was slow because I was just listening in on calls but when you get given a huge list to go through, you have loads to do so its OK. There's always room for improvement but I'm quite proud of how I did today.
Going to an Ann Summers tonight and have to cram in Piano and mine and Lee's dinner before then. Gonna have to open a can of kickass on my Chem and German this weekend, as well as having a piano lesson.
It was a big step today. I'm tired and I like being on maternity leave but I haven't got a baby to look after. I miss her so much it kills but maybe this job will help the anxiety as well.
