Ok...the proposal folks!!! Hope I do it justice...it is better to look at the video.
Ok, we were in Turkey for a holiday, but ultimately, Tunc was racing on one of the weekends, so off we went on the Sunday to the race track...BUT, the night beforehand, he was acting really strange. He said he had an errand to go to and left me at home with him mum and dad...which, at the time I wasnt too chuffed about because I had only met them a handful of times and we couldnt talk to each other. So, I was terribly awkward just for the fact he wasnt there to translate!!!!
Anyhow, he came back about an hour later.
So, on the day of the race, he was the usual....not communicative as this is how he was and very focussed, etc. We got to the race track and usually, it was just me and him that went and maybe his cousin...BUT THIS TIME his mum, dad, and sister, with hubby and kids AND some other friends were coming too!
Again, I used to just sit in the garage with all the mechanics, but this time, we were up in the VIP lounge...I still hadnt a clue and was none the wiser to what was going on..
Off he raced, and as usual, I was on pins! I got so nervous....I cant even remember if he won that day, but I think he did actually!
Anyhow, as we were all up in the VIP Lounge, looking down (above his garage) I could hear him revving his engine...the noise is just deafening!!!!!! So, he came out to do his practise lap......but he came out and stopped and looked up at me....again,none the wiser...then I realised....THERE ON THE SIDE OF HIS CAR...he asked me in Turkish and English, would I marry him!!! hahah......well, girls, what could I do....I went red, and just nodded..haahhhah....oh, it was so lovely, and just not expected at all!!!!!!
The laugh of it was (forgot to mention this)! I used to wear this ring on my wedding finger, just a cheap ring, but it disappeared!!!! He hadnt got time to get me a ring and darent even think about buying one without me anyway, that he needed something to put on my finger, so he used my own ring!!! We went to the jeweller the next day
Now, the reason he had disappeared, was he needed to get the stickers made for the side of the car!!!
The night of the race one of the drivers was actually getting married and we attended the wedding in the race track..it was all very surreal..but before it, we had television interviews, etc....as Tunc at the time was known esp in his town and in the motorsport industry!
So, there you have it! Then the wedding was a rush....this was end of Sept when we got engaged, came back to UK beg of October and we were trying to get married in the January! Long story and it just wasnt to be. So, in Nov, my brother who is the minister was coming down to see us....so, after a very annoying phone call re people not managing to come to the wedding in January, I decided to phone the Register office ont he Monday at work (we were originally marrying in a church)....anyway, the woman said that there was a space available on the Saturday and we just needed a special license to get married..so, we went for it!!!!!! It was the weekend my brother was coming down too!
So, Monday, Tunc got a phone call to say go into Stockport and hire your kilt (yes he wore a kilt Mary)!! Best looking Turk in a kilt...luckily I had bought my dress (Purple)!!! a few weeks earlier thinking I was getting married in January. And everything was arranged from there!!!!!! Party at home, so it wasnt too bad!
Gosh, there we go,,,my life story (well with Tunc anyway) in 10 mins!!!!!!
There is a photo on his motorsport website but the photo isnt showing at the minute for some reason..it could be my laptop playing up, not sure....so I will post it from work and it might work!
HOPE I HAVENT BORED YOU ALL NOW!!!

Iris that's a lovely story re proposal. I was married once before when I was very young and it failed, but met my hubby to be ten year's ago when I thought I would remain single. He asked me out when we worked in a kitchen together he was a chef, and I worked there to earn extra money whilst studying at university, I was a single mum, one girl. We took things really steady and I proposed to him on the 29th of feb as is tradition that day, and he said yes!! We are very happy and our second anniversary is whilst we are away.

Ooooo - all this romance! My son and his partner met on line and I know people who got together as a result of a personal ad and have been married for 15 years! All these avenues can work!!!
Enjoy your voddies Mary, might 'see' you in work this weekend. And enjoy your day with your friend Iris xx

xThanks Tanya!
DAY 21
BREKKIE
soya and linseed bran
WW yoghurt
banana
I had a biggish brekkie so that I wouldnt feel too hungry at lunch and not eat so much. I am determined I wont eat anything naughty as it would be silly to considering how good I am doing.
I decided to weigh in today as I dont want to weigh myself tomorrow JUST incase I put a wee bit on after today and I get down about it!
So, at 71kg, so lost 1.5lb this week...total so far with RC is 9.5lb...dont think I will make that elusive stone BUT I am happy with progress so far which is important.
WILL UPDATE LATER - HOPEFULLY!!!

Thanks Mary; yes, I am beginning to realise that it is just a number and the most important thing is to feel good and comfortable in my own skin.
UPDATE ON TODAY
Well, walked over 10,000 steps so far!!!!!
Met friend and we had
COFFEE
I had a half a scone (no butter for me)
and also half an apricot madeira cake....
then we had LUNCH
Double burger/bacon and cheese on top
Burger bun
baked spud
Small pack of high fat mayo
1 x small 125ml glass of red wine!!!!
HOW'S THAT FOR BEING GOOD!!!! No dessert!!!
Got home and must admit struggled a little..I did feel a little anxious at my friends house. I wasnt hungry but I had that urge...I ate an apple and a can of Pepsi Max! Then I had a small olive pannini and a few yoghurt raisins!! STOPPED!!!!!!!!! PHEW!
I am not going to have anything else tonight apart from some pepsi max as this will ward off any cravings!
I am pleased with what I had and I will maybe try and be a bit more active tomorrow if possible..........
I feel this is another hurdle and I am learning all the time. I reckon I had about 1400 cals if not more to play with.....and around 800 cals that could be part of a high fat treat, so hopefully all the bits and pieces I had that arent classed as low fat I suppose (apart frm the meat) will fall into this category. Just trying not to analyse it all!!!!
Had such a lovely day with my friend...it was too short as usual and we were together from 11 till 6:30 too! Got lots planned over the next few week as it is the Buxton Festival so lots of good things on at the Opera, etc...so, have lots to look forward to!
