    Floral gums :cool: I love them too Cinny 'nomnomnomnom'! It's so hard to find them.

    They taste faintly of soap, but they are lovely! My mother is addicted to them - I remember when I was 8 she bought a big tub from the post office - I've never seen her so happy in all my life.

    ooh, just worked out 72 days till cornwall, I've warned OH we'll be going to approved foods for the food bits - right now they have kelloggs cornflakes for 30p a box! Annoyingly excited, It would seem things are back to normal with his family too.

    Pretty dresses CMD, very antiquey!

    I was looking for striped wedding dresses (;)) but found ths instead, what do you think OH would say if I turned up in this! http://www.fairygothmother.co.uk/70-r21sl.htm I did say I liked pink...;)

    Glad the bike ride was good, I'd be dying after 20 minutes never mind 2 hours!

    And ewww to the floral gums, give me midget gems!

    I like the clippy bit on the dress, think it draws the eye to the detail and it's a nice bit of sparkle! Oh dear, I fear I may end up with a sparkly dress to rival Jordan's at this rate! :eek:

    I actually quite like the bow on the back of the dress! Although it does look like it should come with a whip.

    That is nice, a bit 'normal' for a 'goth' site though!

    I like the bow on the pink one too, I wonder if the black could be replaced with white, then I could pass it off as a wedding dress! ;) And I could get the hat in white too! Oh dear, what's happening, I've shied away from all things goth my whole life (well, I did have a brief flirtation with a goth shop in York where I bought a shirt with pink flames on when I was 15 and thought I looked beyond awesome!) and now I'm looking at a webite called Fairy Goth Mother for my wedding dress! :eek:

    I was a bit shocked by it's normalness, maybe that's why it's only £195? Goth-y sites do have some pretty amazing one-off kind of dresses - I remember seeing the goth weekend at whitby and thinking if this is what they dress like for a day out imagine the effort into their wedding!

    I'm still for my tampon dress personally, you wouldn't even have to bother about your hair. Imagine doing the funky chicken in that - on second thoughts you might just be left rolling around on the floor yelling for help.

    :rotfl: You'd look brilliant though and you know that no-one else would wear the same dress as you!

    I think that Goths always look miserable because of the corsets, imagine how uncomfortable they must be! I can't stand anything sqeezing my belly, even if my trousers are a touch tight or a waisted belt is put on a notch too small I feel sick!

    My friend used to try and wear a corset, she couldnt sit down in it so never wore it again. She also had the cyber-locks. I tried them on once and they were so heavy! Could barely keep my head up, it's surprising how much all that uncomfortable stuff costs.

    haha, imagine walking down the aisle in your stylish tampon dress, to only see another large tampon (with a wedding hat on top) watching in shock. ho-ho.

    Hehe, I'm not going to say anything about having red tampon bridesmaids- yuck!

    What are cyber-locks? The scariest things I see about goths are the massive boots! How do they lift their feet they look so heavy?!

    Oh I can't comment, I have some 6inch platformed, knee high demonia boots! Me and my friend got them for when we went to gigs so we could actually see above peoples heads - but then my hippy phase kicked in and now look at me!

    Just worked out since opening my savings account I've been saving £18.90 a day, 78p an hour, just over 1p a minute!
