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!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

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!Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0 -

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!
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!0 -
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!

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!0 -

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!LBM Sep 2008 debt: £27,927.04start weight: 140.2, week 2: 1380 -
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!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
