Is it really only 25 days?

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Wow. 25 days. Twenty-five days. (somehow typing it in words makes it seem longer).

25 days untill I become Mrs Zoe Corkhill, instead of Miss Zoe Smith. I have less than 600 hours of the identity I’ve had for the past 23 years… I will be waking up with my fiancee, meeting up with my girlfriends and having a girly morning of hairstyles and makeup, and then my mother will help me into my wedding dress. I will be walking down an aisle and promising myself to him. There will be food, and drinks, and dancing.

And it’s only 25 days away. Woah.

(and there is still a lot to do!! If you want to know more about our wedding, check out the website)

My life in bullet form!

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

  • The apprentice final tonight, I’m quite worried about it. Lee & Clare are on the same team, so if they don’t win then one of the weasels (Alex & Helene) will win and that’s just NOT right. Out of the four left Clare is best – she’s listened and got better over the series. Lee lied on his cv – how stupid was that?!
  • I’m gone and got addicted to Big Brother. Oh dear. That’s all I have to say about that.
  • Homily had a midnight snack of MY ginger biscuits, naughty animal. Luckily there weren’t that many left.
  • James bought me flowers. 1, 2, 3.. awwwwwwwww!
  • After forsaking every other birthday present and pledging my payrise (got one yesterday, yay) to pay the contract, James is buying me an iphone for my birthday next month :D
  • SIX MONTHS AND ONE DAY UNTIL MY WEDDING DAY ARRRRGGGHHH YAYAYAYAYAY
  • Which means.. six months and 3 days till I go to Mexico lol.
  • Lots of stuff coming up! Britain’s Got Talent tour on Monday, Drayton Manor a week on Sunday, o2 wireless festival next month, as well as Isle of White trip & going to see Lee Mead as Joseph! Life is very exciting right now.
  • I’m looking forward soo much to this weekend, can’t wait to just kick back and relax, tidy the flat, walk the dog. Bliss!!
  • I had a great weekend. More on that later..

Another day in the life of me

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Well, work has been incredibly boring today. There have been about 5 phone calls this afternoon, and none of them have been for me. I’ve had about 10 emails, none of which actually required anything doing. I’ve caught up on my paperwork, done some unneccesary work, and got my teeth stuck eating a toffee. Hopefully tomorrow will be more eventful, or possibly not.

Maybe this evening will be nicer. I was hoping to walk Homily after work but the way the sky has behaved today, it’s looking doubtful. She doesn’t like to get her fur wet and makes a big deal about going outside in the rain. And that’s just the dog – I refuse to go paddling in our local park in the rain. Besides, my favourite trainers leak, and my new ones aren’t broken in yet!

Can anyone who uses netflix tell me what they think of the service? I’m thinking of subscribing for longer than my free trial, but I’m interested in the game rental as well as the films. It intruiges me! Reviews, suggestions, comments, anyone?

I have my driving test this Friday, but I don’t feel too nervous about it – I think it’s because if I let myself get jumpy then I know I’ll screw up, so it’s a ‘what’s the point’ attitude to getting nervous. I think I drive well enough to pass, as long as I have no weird & wonderful moments in the car during my test. My manouvers are spot on, it’s just junctions and roundabouts I don’t like!

Ooooh, just got this email from my wedding dress people: “Your measurement form is received. Your dress is in process now and will be delivered to you around 25 working days.” YAY. In other wedding news, I’m not wearing my engagement ring because it’s off being polished and replated – we dropped it off at the jewellers whilst choosing our wedding rings :D. We’re going to order them when we pick them up (though I’m currently deliberating between 18ct and 9ct white gold, as my engagement ring is 18ct – but I’m fairly sure that I’ll wear my engagement ring on my right hand after the wedding, cos I don’t think I’ll like wearing two rings on one finger). It is very weird not to be wearing my ring though, my finger has a groove in it and I keep going to fiddle with my ring to find it missing. Also, we’re off to the registry office on Friday to declare our notice of marriage – basically to declare that we want to get married.

More and more plans are being made to make my life busier and busier. I’m off to the Royal Cornwall Show on Saturday, while I’m at my parents. Becky & Seb, and James & I are off to Drayton Manor on the 21st and they will be staying at the flat for the weekend. Also, and very exciting for me, James was a sweetie and we’re off to see the Britain’s Got Talent Live Tour in a fortnight :D :D. Woo. AND Becky has invited us to go see Dylan Moran in October. Busy busy busy bee.

Anyway, I think I’ve rambled on enough. Bye :)

Ooh, excitement!

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Woo, looks like July is set to be an exciting month for me this year. I’m off to the O2 festival on the 6th, and Joseph on the 26th for my birthday (which is 25th) and now it turns out my ‘Sun Holiday for £15′ is in July!

From the 14th – 18th July, I will be on the Isle of White, Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park! Woo, looks really nice. Staying in chalets, with no extra service charge, wheeee. Just got to pay the (discounted) ferry trip, fuel & food. All the f’s then! Not bad for £60 for four people. Lol, it’s supposed to be £600/week in July. Can’t wait – will be great to have a break. Going with Becky & Tom (unless he finds emplloyment before then) so that will be cool.

So yup, excitement = the month of July. Obviously not quite as exciting as December, what with my wedding, hehe, but fun nonetheless! It’s nice to have this huge event this year with the wedding – but it’s brilliant to have a fun & varied life with James. After all, the whole deal is less about the wedding and more about the marriage! I’m not saying that I don’t want a lovely wedding though, cos I do! Just want what comes after that more, the life with James.

Anyway, I’ll stop being soppy now. I’ve got a lot to look forward to now though, with going down to Cornwall next month, O2 festival, Isle of White, my birthday & Joseph, Lee Evans, and the wedding – and Mexico! Whee, busy year for Zoe!

Well, this has been a sucky day

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Right now, I hate my digestive system. Saturday I have a slightly dodgy tummy, I thought it was all better yesterday, and then today digestive pyrotechnics – meep! At least the vomiting stopped around midday.

Hopefully I’ll be all better by tomorrow, I don’t really wanna miss work again – I’ll have too much to do! Gah, I need to stop having problems with my tummy.

Other than being ill, the past few days have been ok – Steven, James’s best man, came over with his girlfriend for the day on Sunday which was nice. Other than that, it was a fairly quiet weekend. We spent Saturday working on our wedding website. It’s still a bit dodgy in parts, but go over and take a look and tell me what you think!

We’d like to ask for a favour for this: we wanted to put a bit about each other & us as a couple so that family members, friends etc, can read a little about us before they come to the wedding. So – we’d like to ask our friends to come up with something to say about us that we can add to the website – if you can think of anything please email me with it – ideally we want a few snippets about me, a few about james, and some of us as a couple. It’s just to personalise the site a bit. Thanks!
