HOW Long has it been?!

I can't believe that I've not blogged for an entire year! My feeble excuse is that the year really got away from me! So a quick recap of 2011 before focusing on the new year:

We are still in Gateshead, which is not great, as the house has been overcrowded and we don't have a living room - we watched DVDs on the laptop for about 10 months and I've seen very little TV! That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I do miss CSI - and Neighbours!

What else? Well, my friend's wedding came and went, and I worked really hard to look reasonable in my 'sausage' (red satin - eek!) dress. However, about three weeks afterwards I ended up in hospital for a week with what turned out to be ulcerative colitis, which was pretty tough and I'm still getting over it.

I'm still into the running, although I've cancelled my gym membership, as once I started working and then got sick I didn't manage to get there much. I've invested in some resistance bands and I'm looking forward to trying them out. I'm also trying to get a cheap exercise bike, but Tesco have sold out of their half-price-for-new-year ones!

For the rest, my 'resolutions' are much as they were last year - more reading, more cooking and more exercise. I'm also getting married in October, so I'll be planning for that! It was a total surprise (I actually thought it was a joke at first - oops!) but it'll be fun to plan and I'm hoping the weather won't be too bad.
