My first blog, a bit about me n mine...

Here it is, my first blog post....So for those of you reading this that don't know me, I really should give you a bit of background on me, my family and my life shouldn't I.

Well I am a mummy, a fiancee, soon to be bride, a lil mad but then I'll let you make your own mind up on that one. 

I have 1 amazing little boy, Brandon. I know all parents go on about how wonderful their offspring are, but the we are biased. Brandon will be 4 in June. He is a cracking lil red head but that has it's downfalls.  Not only does he have my temper, he has the temper of a redhead! So when he blows we all take cover. 

He is funny, quirky and moody....bit like his mummy really! He is going through a proper lil sod phase at the moment too, but at the same time, he will be a lil bugger all day and then, totally out of the blue, when I am completely ready to kill him, he will say or do something so sweet it will leave me questioning my reasons for wanting to kill him ;P 

I am, as mentioned above, a fiancee, soon to be bride. Matt is my fiance. He is lovely (most of the time). He is 2 years my junior, black hair, blue eyes, beautiful teeth...

We met on an internet dating site, chatted for a few weeks, arranged a date and it was love at first sight. We have been together for just under 2 & a half years. We got engaged after 9 months. I know many people thought/think we did it too soon, but when something is right what is the point in waiting? 

The wedding was set to be October 2012, but somehow, in January this year, it got moved...to July this year!! No pressure. 

I am looking forward to the wedding, but am so unbelievably nervous too. 

The Doggles in Winter (L-R: Sox, Sammy, Suki)

Other things that feature in my life are my dogs, "The Doggles". I have 3 Chinese Crested. 

Sox: 7 years old, getting cantankerous in her old age. I have had her since she was a pup and she got me through some of the hardest times of my life. She is a yorkie/hairless cross so she can either be really hairy or, if I clip her, not so hairy. 

Sammy: Also 7 years old. The only male doggle in the pack. I got Sammy as a rescue from The Chinese Crested Rescue Service.  Since he has been with me he has come out of his shell and really developed his own little foibles.  He is a hairy hairless so gets "bumfluff" around his face, back and legs, and looks really funny if I don't keep him clipped.

Suki: The youngest doggle. I think she is about 18 months old.  Suki was rehomed to me due to the dynamics in her last pack not being right for her. She is a pretty lil hairy hairless who does a brilliant impression of a pig and will also give you a high five.

I guess this blog is just a place for me to vent, rant, share stories, etc. There will obviously be the excitement in the run up to the wedding, the trials and tribulations of being an overweight bride with no self-esteem and also all the "fun" of being a full time mummy. 

I hope (if anyone reads this) you enjoy it and can share the laughter and the tears with me. 

So, there it it, my first blog all done and dusted. Yay me.
