Every wedding a Royal Wedding!

I have decided that my next wedding to Dave and everyone that follows shall aim to be on par with the shenanigans of today :) (when I say next, I mean that I dream of re-enacting our wedding day every year on our anniversary- I've never been much of a collector, but I reckon I'd be pretty good at collecting wedding dresses :D).

I was rather excited about today :) I pretty much knew the schedule off by heart by the time it all started this morning! :D This glorious wedding day started with me waking from a rather disturbing dream! I dreamt that I was with the wedding party as such, but everyone went to the bride's hotel to see her before they went to the Abbey. So I was with her stylist (or something like that!) and we went and saw her (we were the first car to go), and she was wearing Princess Diana's dress and had cut her hair short and dyed it blonde.... was a bit creepy, and in my dream I was a bit more than gutted!

So we started watching from around 9am! :D Shell and Florence are up for the weekend, so they were already awake in our living room! And then we just watched away! Before Prince William and Harry left for the Abbey I quickly got dressed, making sure I wore red white and blue :) this was actually quite difficult as I discovered the only red pieces of apparel I own are scarves! So I kinda ended up rocking the nautical look for the Royalness! Then, just before the Duchess of Cambridge (in a most BEAUTIFUL dress- I have ooogled over dresses like that online before my big day) arrived, I painted my nails with blue glittery avon nail varnish (which was made to mark this royal occasion) on the tips and added lines of red and white on a couple of the nails- hubby helped with his awesome painting skills :D

I think my favourite part of the whole day, and the part that nearly made me tear up was when she was walking down the very very long aisle and HRH was waiting.. not turning around, and Prince Harry was saying 'Wait till you see her'. Was such a privilege to be a bird spying on their beautiful day! Though I also did love the driving in daddy's blue Astin Martin... was pretty fantabbydoodle... Oh and the 2 cheeky kisses, which I would have LOVED to have been even cheekier! Oh ok.... the whole thing was pretty darn amazing!!

We then went to a street party at church which was fun too, talking to a most wonderfullest couple Kate and Richard who never fail to make me laugh.... and also being SERIOUSLY, all jokes aside, beaten at an arm wrestle by an 8 year old!! She's not even big! I am most defintely WEAK!! hehe.....

So yep I just wanted to share my thoughts on this beautiful day! If only the country could be as united as it was today (or at least appeared to be ;) hehe.....

Britannia truly does rule the waves!!! <3

Beat that Primark!!), pinky/nudey skinny chinos (LOVE THEM!!) and last but by no means least, gorge pale pinky suede wedges :)

Note to self... chocolate fudge cake heated up with lots of cream= perfection!!! :D

Well not sure when I shall next be blogging! Off to the 'rents for the weekend :) more Shell and Florence time with a major hint of Rella :D :D Got an exciting wedding to go to, AND a new haircut :D AND a BBQ AND best of all ma and pa are doing an EASTER EGG HUNT!!!

So HAPPY EASTER!! Enjoy your 4 day weekend :) I most certainly will be :) xxx

Procrastination Tuesday

I would love to say that I am writing this post as it has been soooooo long.... but in reality... it is because I am procrastinating from doing an assignment :( this is pretty much a norm.... it's not that I'm scared by all the work I've got to do, I've actually pretty much got it all sorted planning wise... it's just the commencement of typing that seems so difficult. I think I'm just lazy... anyways!!! Rant over!!

I do have some wonderful things to share with you about my day! (The past week has been fab visiting family too, shall talk about that more later :)...
So today:
  1. Got to sleep in our bed (well last night, but it meant we woke up very happy this morning!) Nothing really beats your own bed!
  2. Caught up on all the TV I've missed the past week! (I'm starting to think that TV really is a hobby of mine..sad I know!!) And still to catch up on Desperate Housewives!!! Soooooo excited! Watching 90210 at the min, and Dave (yes Dave) realised that the geeky kid in it is the pyscho murdered in Desperate Housewives- that explains my uneasy feelings, and also proves that Dave can multi task as he watches most of my programmes whilst he plays black ops :) So there is hope for the male species ;) 
  3. Went to Pizza Express for tea (2 courses for £10)- not as good as orange Wednesdays deal, but hubby's phone is broken :( I forgot just how much I LOVE TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA SALAD!! Made me have hungerlike pangs for the amazingness of Italy!!
  4. Bought a BIG FAT chocolate fudge cake from Sainsbury's as it cost the same as one slice from Pizza Express :) Shall be going for my second slice after this!
  5. Dave and I got £5 each from his Little Nana to buy ourselves easter eggs (she's AWESOME!!). And much to my delight, Sainsbury's had buy 1 get 2 free, at £2.50. So that's 6 eggs :) SUPERDEDUPERLY HAPPY!! The house is full of chocolate :) 
  6. Last... and perhaps best of all, hubby treated me to some BEAUT purchases from ASOS (they've got an AMAZING sale on at the mo) and they are being delivered TOMORROW!!! AHHHH!!! So excited!! Lets hope they fit!! :D :D :D :D
So I think that's about it! Oh yeh!! Plus I had a couple of AWESOME games on Black Ops- even beat Davey Babes in a game :) muahahahahaha!!! I am the COOLEST wife EVER!!! After my mummy of course!!!

Well I'm off to get some cake and munch my essay sorrows away!! Toodles!!! XX

Mamas and Papas :)

My mummy and daddy are the bestest IN THE WORLD!! FACT!!! Anyone who is willing to dispute this come see me... and I will quickly change your mind :)

The reason why I have been AWOL these past few days is because I was with my mama and papa :) and shall be seeing them again this weekend :D WOOP WOOP!!

We went down to Lynn for mother's day :) and boy do I love being 'home'- and by home I mean with the 'rents and in the most wonderfulest house in the world!! I wish we could just pick up number 17, and place it in a nice little space in Ilkley or somewhere like that :D

Anyways... I was thinking of you this weekend, and have taken photos for thee!! Though I did forget to take a pic of the celestial bathroom... shall have to save that for you next time we're back in paradise!!

So here's some of the reasons why I love the humble abode of Shell and Florence :)

Number 1 most definitely must be THE FOOD! (as everything is for me, lets be honest!! Speaking of which I had a delicious salad- yes a salad- from Pizza Express :).. On Friday we had a pretty much regular meal (meaning what we had throughout my most food privileged childhood)... but in comparison to mine and Dave's efforts (and we don't even have kids!!) it was AMAZING!! And here the meal be....
At the top we see my plate of toad in the hole with mash :) But because hubby isn't particularly keen on mash, amazing mummy made roasties just for him!! (Well she had to give a few to Christophe too, gotta keep him happy ya know ;) AND the boys got 4 sausages!!! It's safe to say this was all quickly gobbled up- and followed by ma's brownies :D yum yum!!

On Saturday I helped mum make homemade pizzas :) I chose the toppings- and boy am I a GENIUS!!! Here be the AMAZING pizzas!!
Hidden under the masses of cheese, we have mushrooms, chicken, tomatoes and salami :) was gooooood!!!
On the left we have ham, pineapple and mushrooms... and the right (my personal favourite) double pepporoni and cheese :) yum yum yum....

Didn't get any pics of the other meals... but they were.... Sunday- roast chicken with all the trimmings and HOMEMADE CHEESECAKE!!!!!! Monday- salady yumminess!! Tuesday- Denny's fish and chips- Anne (the main woman at the chippy) is a LEGEND!! Man I wish I got a pic of her!!!!

Right time to move away from food methinks.... another great thing about the Vingoe household, is my HUGE bedroom!!! (Well it's officially still mine and Rella's...but anyways...).. This room makes me happy mainly because of the most AMAZING mattress!! You could quite literally lie in bed ALL DAY!! What is even more amazing about this mattress is that it is upon boxes- boxes still full of stuff from when ma and pa were planning to move to Leeds- before Heavenly Father changed their plans...cheeky thing!! Here be the awesomeness!!
Furthermore... this bedroom (much to Dave's dismay...) contains remains of my once great devotion to one Mr. Orlando Bloom....hehehe.....


And the last thing that makes me most joyous about this room... and which I am always surprised by... is my BEAUTIFUL wedding dress hanging on the wardrobe! Makes me want to wear it every day!

Hmmmmm.... *daydreaming*....

And to the last thing I shall tell you of about this most wonderful place.... my mum and dad not only have an amazing food storage (basically a supermarket in the lobby!)... but they also have a years supply of other essentials...hehe this quite literally made me laugh my head off- there's 72 rolls!!! And there's only Shell and Florence that live there!!! CRAZY :D

Well there's you go my lovelies!!! You may be lucky enough to get another post from me tomorrow- but then we're off again!! A week full of family!!! :D
Hope you've not been too sad whilst I was away!!

Much love!!
Bethy Poos!! xxx
