Not much...

... happening.
Just leading the quiet life and trying to organise wedding!
We still havent got a date yet as we are still trying to work out where we want to get married. Going to have a look at a few places in Edinburgh this weekend.
Once we know where we can set date and sort out our budget - but its not going to cheap like! We went to see place called The Three Kings in falkirk who do a wedding package for £3500 - but it just wasnt for us, I would rather wait and save up to get somewhere nicer, dont get me wrong it was done up lovely but it just wasnt what we are looking for.
Looks like it will 2009 or even 2010 at the very latest - though dont think I can wait that long =)

Moving in with Lee this weekend =) so looking forwad to that! Just going to pack all the clothes that I need and a few bits n bobs the rest is staying at mums. I think she cant wait to get rid off me!!

So apart from that not been up to much.

Bloody chickens!

Omg! Yesterday was a nightmare for me getting to work!!
About 1000 chickens made a bid for freedom when the lorry they were being transported in jack-knifed!
It took nine hours beofore the motorway was back open! Thank god I wasnt travelling from Edinburgh that day or I would have been mighty p***ed off! The traffic through Bonnybridge was horrendous as everyone was diverted off the motorway through there.
Didnt get into work until 9am was only half hour late so cant really complain i guess.

So glad its Friday now, off out to the Wheel House for dinner tonight. Mum has rounded up the family for a wee dinner to celebrate our engagement so looking forward to that, then off to a wedding fair in Edinburgh then off to one of Lee's friends for dinner =) so going to have a not to bad a weekend.

Thinking about moving over Edinburgh way as a wee trial to see how we actually get on living together full time and not just days here and there, so might do that in the next few weeks, going to talk it over with him tonight =) Its going to be a nighmare for me traveling to work in the morning, but it wouldnt be for long in a way though April is a long time to wait to get our own place through Falkirk way.

The wedding plans are stagnant at the moemnt, we have requested loads of information packs from Venues but because of this bloody postal strike we havnent got anything yet! Its looking like 2009 before we will be able to afford it which sucks in a way as I would love to do it tomorrow if we could! But Lee's sister is getting married about March time 2009 so we cant get married the beginning of the year.... urhg its acutally a nightmare to organise, didnt realise it would be this manic lol
Once we actually get a date and a venue then it will all fall into place..... I hope!

Anyhow I'm at work the now so better head off, only 45mins until I get to go home yay!

drivers beware!

I'm let loose on the roads again woo hoo!!

Was so lost not being able to drive because of my elbow - have been out of the coller/cuff thing since Thursday as it was more annoying than helpful. Campbell at work has been giving me a lift to and from work last week which was a great help! Dunno how long I could stand being at home getting moaned at for being on a computer all day etc etc etc.

So far driving hasn't given me too much pain, even though it is still sore, but getting better the bruise is almost gone on my underarm but still coming out nicely on my actual elbow - lovely!

Not been up to much other than planning a wedding! Been spending most of my time on the net at work printing out information on venues and what not to get an idea of how much it is all going to cost — my god i didn't know it was going to be such a bloody nightmare to organise!!

We still haven't got a date yet, but hoping maybe to do it next year or July 2009. So watch this space!
One day I might just post that I am married.

Right now just enjoying being engaged and looking forward to spending time with my new hubby-t0-be as much as possible, think might consider moving in with him once arm back on track and see what its going to be like!! wOOt!!

Excellent news!!!

Friday 28th, I am picked up by my gorgous man dressed in a kilt (and pulling it off mighty fine i might add!) wisked away in car to some un-known destination.
TomTom wasnt working until about 15 mins away from the place....
..... Dalhousie Castle!!

Couldnt believe it when he turned left and started to head up the drive way! Surprise number 2 (no1 was the kilt) and a great one at that =D he has been winding me up for 2 weeks about where were going, so im a happy bunny when see its here.

Head to our room = The Robert the Bruce Suite

Was such an amazing room! As you can see from the pic :) Called mum at this point to let her know where we had ended up when surprise number 3 arrived - Champange!!! Yummy!! So we popped it and started to get into it = Lee dowing his somethig terrible and pacing about like a looney - all will be reveiled!

Now the story gets really intersting lol

I just love to take a wee souviner from a hotel - usualy writing paper! So I got Lee to write me a wee note, whilst i read up on all the stuff you can get done at the spa, but with my arm i wastn getting anything done. Anyhow he gives me letter but i say i will read it after dinner but he insisted i read it then and there so I settled down on the bed and this is what i read...

To My darling Fiona,
Thank you for the best year of my life!
i never want it to end!

So I have one more surprise for you....

Will you marry me?

All my love
Lee x

I couldnt believe what I had read, until he got down on one knee and brought out the ring... by this time I was crying!! He was so relieved i said yes =D think he was panicing that I would say no as we have never really spoken about getting married at all!



Oh it was just so perfect!!
And a day I will never ever forget - we had the most amazing dinner and just had a great night. Once I called mum word travelled fast and my uncle in Canada called us at the castle just as we finished dinner, so by this time the whole castle knew!

So just wanted to share my news, will keep you all posted on the wedding plans! =D Oh so much to organise.
