Round up ...

This week was a bit of a mixed bag. 

Started with a bit of an issue with the tax on my wages, which should be sorted for next pay day, wouldn't be an issue but pay day is changing this month and as such I am paying two lots of rent out of one lot of wages :s not what I wanted when we are trying to save up for the wedding! this put me in a bit of downer on friday which wasn't helped by the fact Fiancé was working late and then had to work all weekend. 

The week has however gotten much better since the weekend. Tuesday we popped into town and dropped off cards for my two engaged friends, one an engagement card and the other a new home card. Whilst dropping them off we managed to arrange a dinner date for next thursday and both girls offered to come dress shopping at some point, it was loads of fun exchanging wedding chit chat. 

Then on Wednesday I arranged another dinner date for this Friday with some other friends, had a good session at the gym while the fiancé got beasted by the personal trainer and then the best part of the week so far ... we ordered our wedding rings!!! 

A lady came round from Smooch Rings and brought loads of samples which we sat and looked through. After we had both filled a tray each with our favourites came the hard part choosing the one!! Fiancé managed really well, me on the other had ... lets say it took a while. There was lots of trying on with all three of us assessing which one went best with my engagement ring. Finally I had it narrowed down to my top 5 then 4, two has twists with diamonds set on the arms and two had scalloped edges with diamonds. To choose between these I had to put one either side of my engagement ring to compare, I managed to narrow it down to two. The problem was the last two were equally gorgeous and as someone with a bit of a jewellery habit. It took ages but in the end I have chosen an amazing ring!! They arrive in July! its going to be so hard not to wear it straight away hehehe 

Any hoo here is a few pics to finish my round up! 

Results of Fridays blizzard, the card park had been cleared by a JCB on Thursday! 

Luckily it was all sunny on Saturday morning so the snow didn't freeze over too much. 

Just a random pic out of our living room window.

You cant really tell but this was glowing when I walked in the room. 

The snow did melt but then Monday saw some freezing overnight which turned the mound of snow on our path into an ice block, I ended up hugging the building walking in the foot of clear path to get to a patch of ice thin enough to step over. Then contended with the black ice, at 6am this mainly consists of avoiding the shiny patches and hugging the car while spraying de-icer outside and IN!!!
