    I read that carefully and slowly (as I always have to when it comes to the money talk on the thread) from what I can grasp it sounds like a good idea to me!

    Back from my din-dins already. Only had a jam sandwich and apple to munch through. Surveying my work for this afternoon and I should have plenty to do if I put a little DFW knatter in here and there to pad it out.

    I'll wear a cheap dress if I can have the shoes!

    But will you even be able to see the shoes under the dress?! :confused:

    LOL, why do you think I've been on here so much this past couple of days?! I can't get motivated; I've got a project to do and it is doing my head in so I'm avoiding it!

    I'll wear an mid-calf/ankle length dress to show them off! I think I'll look quite good in a 50's style full skirt jobby! I've got it figured out!:p

    It changes every week, next week I'll be saying I want a massive Princess Di dress and sod the shoes! No wonder OH is reluctant to propose, he knows I'm going to be a nightmare when it comes to planning a wedding as I can't settle on what I want!

    haha, I have my current wedding outfit planned out too - all vintage :o
    I could never spend so much on shoes, a dog always chews them or the cat squishes them. That would be why I'm wearing £2 shoes!

    Princess Di *shudders* Give me a Camilla hat anyday :D

    I think it sounds like a good plan but I'm not sure that I won't change my mind once I try on the big wedding dresses! But for the price of a big fancy dress I could buy the dream shoes and a simpler dress, so that'll probably win!

    I'll wear whatever someone else gives me to wear, I really couldn't care less what I'm married in so long as it isn't tarty.

    Egypt countdown has begun, can't rationalise eating my lunch which doesn't really appeal to me, so just having my fat free muller light and some blueberries and a diet coke.
