    I've never looked on one of the sites, it's the ju-ju thing! Plus I could see me loosing hours, possibly days on them, best to save that until I actually have a wedding to plan for!

    Not so worried about them being late, more drunk, loud and sicky!

    Mmm, nice! You'll have to elope I think! Or if you have the wedding in England maybe they'll be less likely to come?

    At least with wedding dress window shopping I won't be tempted to buy, unlike normal dress window shopping!

    Here's the cake - iced it really early this morning because I was surprisingly busy need to go over the black bits again later but it isn't too shabby. Bad photo but I'll post it here so Birdie can see!3328432744_3b6386330c_m.jpg

    George @ Asda is terrible - you have to stop yourself grabbing it all because it's so cheap! The top I got yesterday is shockingly well made, nice heavy fabric instead of the cheap stuff it used to come in.

    I love todays DOTD Birdie! I wouldn't be worried about naughties in it, or sitting down, or using the ladies room, I'd be too busy swishing!

    Are they pointing their guns straight ahead or something? Looks fab, a very masculine birthday cake!

    Yes George is a bit like Primark or the pound shop I guess, you end up spending loads because everything's such a bargain!

    Don't swish too loudly or you WILL wet yourself!

    Thanks! They are meant to be gun pointing. Hopefully OH will know what they are and not think they're just blobs. My first try at anything like this though.

    I don't know if too much swishing = wetting yourself. I spent many a happy party stood slightly off centre spinning and spinning and watching my dress swish without any bladder control issues!

    That's cool Cinny! I'm sure OH will be dead impressed :T

    and cakes are nice, wholesome fun... makes a change from the saucy conversations of the last few days - shocking! I thought I was looking at the wrong thread :rotfl:

    I'm quite a fan of the DOTD too Birdie, it's ridiculously swishy, but you only get the chance to wear it once!

    Oh yeah, money, we're supposed to talk about some of that! £23 today paid into house fund. £16.10 from amazon and I can't even remember where the other was from! £25 also went to CC2, so that means £25 more of NIMS will go into the house fund. Some money maker I am! Actually realised my day to day is insanely DFW-ish. Think I might have to write about it tomorrow when it's come to its end!

    NIM did get 2 jobs in the airport today in the end, £24 fee total just for getting two coffees - yey!
