Early start for us today! We had church to get to!

Off we popped to All Hallows Church for my boss's grandson's christening. Well at least it's not Deathly Hallows church...although I didn't check for horcruxes...

No screaming kids when baptised, which was a bit disappointing!

Lovely day had with the boss's family. He kept bringing me glasses of sparkling wine which were very nice, but I had no plans to get sozzled THIS time...unlike last time I went to a boss's family christening...

*shudders*

We got home at about 4, chilled out and watched National Treasure! Always fun!

Last night's migraine / cluster headache sucked big time. It also buggered everything up for me today. Did not feel like doing anything. I kept feeling niggly pain in my head every so often so I was scared it was going to come back.

We ventured out and bought a printer this morning. Like you do! Will be useful with the wedding approaching far quicker than I'm comfortable with!

After that I still couldn't settle. Paul watched football and I messed about on the internet, taking frequent breaks from the screen due to headache. These headaches suck. Have I mentioned that?

Paul treated himself to one of his favourite beers - Cain's Double Bock, while I didn't help myself one bit and devoured a large quantity of maltesers. Bloody love Maltesers!

"DOUBLE BOCK!"

Anyone else suck maltesers, rather than chew them? Please don't say I'm the only one...

Everyone send get well vibes to my colleague Natalie's little boy Jacob again. He has such a severe infection at the back of his throat that his tonsils are covered in pus, his throat is red raw and thus he's not eating a bite or drinking a drop, which has severely dehydrated him. He's on a drip now so hoping improvement will come soon.

I think I used all my positivity and good vibes on Jacob, as since I left work I have come down with one of my severe cluster headaches, which in turn triggered a migraine. Hideous horrendous pain. In bed from 6 and didn't get out again.

Variety of drugs were taken and somewhere along the line, one of them helped as I woke up at 11:30pm and was relatively pain free. The paella that Paul made for dinner probably helped too!

I was then joined by this little rascal, who didn't want her picture taken but as I hadn't taken one today and it was nearing midnight, it had to be done!

Do NOT take mah picture at this hour, mamma!

This face cannot fail to make me feel better!

It's Thursday...Thorsday...Thursday.

Paul came in VERY late last night and a little merry. It was difficult to get up this morning!

My treat today was my lunch hour with the lovely Dave! (@davvomacca on twitter) who I don't see nearly enough. Especially as he works less than 5 minutes away from me.

Guinnes for Dave and a red wine for me. Rebelling on a lunch time. :D

I was in a good mood when I got back so naturally everyone thought I was tipsy. Seriously. One one glass of wine?! Still, better that than pregnant I suppose! :-)

Paul got home, we had chicken, watched more Community (shut up) then had an early night. Paul was asleep before 9pm! Tired baby! To be fair, I don't  think I was far behind him!

Blah Blah went to work Blah Blah was bored Blah Blah came home.
 
That's where the boredom stopped however, as Chris (@thiscrs) came round, we had pasta, watched an ep of Community (so he'd get obsessed too) then headed to the cinema to celebrate this week's #Whedonsday.


It was about time we had a #Whedonsday excursion to watch Marvel's Avengers Assemble! Or, you know, The Avengers. Because not all brits would get Hulk confused with John Steed from the 1998 movie of the same name.

Yeah...here we are again!

Woah, how did THOSE get inside my handbag. Crazy reckless rebel that I am!

Chris and I eagerly awaiting the start of the movie. Honest. We're in this picture. You can see the screen reflected in our glasses

Second time for Chris, third for me, and by golly do I enjoy it! I wish it were out on bluray already! :-)





...yeah yeah...any excuse to watch the trailer again...

Another dull Tuesday. Discovered that an old friend of mine was in Manchester but I couldn't get over to see her today. Which sucks.

I managed to clear a backlog of work on my desk though, which was very good of me. I enjoy a good productive work day.

Had to wait a while for Paul to get home, which always sucks, and it was made even worse by there not being any 'Don't Tell The Bride' on iPlayer. Gutted. Ended up watching three episodes of 'Big Fat Gypsy Wedding'.

The dress shop featured on there has been in my blog before, and I used to live literally down the road from it.



 
At least I know what style wedding dress I DON'T want, right?!

Monday. Paul was working from home due to dentist requirements so I sat in work with no desire to be there. The good bit was that we got to watch the Once Upon a Time finale. Twas good!

To make things more interesting, a sugar rush was required in the afternoon to perk us up! I participated in some 'Randoms', and as Random is a favourite word of mine. One word review: Meh. Not very random at all.

Meh.
