It's not often I feel deserving of a glass of wine in the afternoon. Today just so happens to be one of those days. I'm trying to keep my weight loss in check though, so not just any high calorie wine will do. I head to Morrisons on my way home. Once there I pick up a bottle of Weight Watchers red. Diet wine at its finest. The stuff honestly doesn't taste half bad.

And so, with bottle in arm, some diet crisps in hand and a pretty pile of hair on my head, I drive myself home. Once there I carefully seat myself at the kitchen counter upon one of our art deco high stools. I pour myself a glass of diet wine and slide my finger across the face of my mini tablet PC. Opening the packet of diet snacks I log into Facebook and scroll down my timeline, sharing signs and pics as I go, commenting here and there on funny status updates.

I follow loads of bridal Facebook pages so it comes as no surprise when I start seeing a lot of updo hairstyles. None of which are quite as lovely as Tina had managed to make my own hair, eventually. Even the low percentage of alcohol content in my glass of diet wine is starting to have a nice effect on numbing my pained scalp.

When I'm feeling slightly tipsy I decide to show these Facebook peeps what a real bridal updo should look like. I select the camera app on the tablet device and aim the camera option at my head, so that I can see myself on the screen.

Tina really did a bang up job with gentle hands. The curls that are pinned up on my crown aren't tight at all, they're more like subtle flowing waves of golden blonde swirls. She topped off my do with small silver flower beads that perch upon my hair like a delicate floating candle alight in fragrant bathwater.

"See how lovely?" I start speaking into the video I've just started recording. "This is the fine work of Tina at her salon. I'll post a link to her location on this mini vlog."

Quickly, I upload my short movie to YouTube. Sometimes I do wish I knew how to edit my videos and add in music and stuff, but really I just can't be bothered to learn such a time consuming thing. Besides, sitting around isn't good for a bride to be who wants to lose weight. I need to stay on my feet! Which is rich, coming from my conscience, as I continue to sit here imbibing wine.

When I've shared my hair video on Facebook I get quite a few likes and comments. The feedback is making me super excited for our upcoming wedding. Now that I've actually managed to lose some weight I can stay on track and keep up with workouts.

I've got my wedding hair style sorted and soon I'll find my dream dress at Lara's bridal shop. Well, I will find something I like even if it means her bringing the dresses to me.
