Atonement by Ian McEwan

I am usually one that doesn't like an unfinished book, but on this case i had to stop half way through as I found it dull, uninteresting, and very hard to read as it didn't seem to flow well. In parts it had to much explanation and felt as the author was trying to hard.. I will not be able to recommend this book at all to anyone who wants a good book to read.

Say YES to the Dress!!!

It it usually a once in a lifetime experience to be able to choose a wedding dress with some close friends and ones mother, but it is a privilege i have had this morning. To Cherish, a bridal shop across the road from Barrinton Mall in Christchurch, had the warmth and the knowledge to help me choose a dress that i would absolutely love.

When I arrived with my mother and friends, I was welcomed with a friendly and warm welcome, then we were taken to a private room for use to use and given the round rules for the day. We were made very comfortable, relaxed and happy and choose out four dresses.

Four dresses was a good start and I tried the first dress on, a strapless dress which i found i did not like, especially with being bigger busted and a bit chubbier it did not suit me at all. Strapless was defiantly out!!!

However in what i would consider a strange thing i tried the second dress on and it was perfect, i wasn't expecting to find a dress i loved and wanted that quickly, best of all within budget!!! so i said yes to the dress. So i paid the first half of the amount, with a fitting in September, so alterations can be made in time for the wedding the big revel will soon be here.....

New Year, Same me

New Years is usually the time when most are deciding on their new year resolutions,which is a good thing, change i will admit is always good and one most adapt, grow and change in order to survive or get something better in our lives. Yes i do want more, but i have decided i will let things just come my way, and to just focus on my wedding, my writing and this blog (which i must admit i need to water this blog a\a bit more so i can watch it flower a lot more) and of course my "9-5" job.

to give you a bit of an update on my progress on my lists i am still reading atonement, which is taking forever to read, and my bucket is in need of being pushed into my front view again, as i have ignored it lately. It will be an aim to try and get more down with both lists..

Another aim is just to write more personal updates and logs here just for consistency in blog updates and feeling like i am getting somewhere with the world. however in the end lets see how 2017 pans out...
