170 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!

:eek: OMG:eek:

You lot seem all seem so organised I haven't even thought about underwear yet.

I'm currently stuck between two photographers, both of who are really nice but I don't know which one to choose! Think I may just flip a coin :rolleyes:

Have you all decided on the style of your invitations yet? I am determined to get them sent by the end of March and so have to get cracking. I really like the 'wallet' ones with swirls.

Does the voucher have a minimum spend or a date it has to be used by at all we were going to get 5 adult suits and a kids suit, we looked into moss bros but this would def sway it

I'll double check tonight but I think it is the 30th April like Sexk11en says

I had so much fun last night, Got home about 10pm but it was worth it.

Had a nightmare getting there as the sat nav took us to a different place so we were 30mins late :rolleyes: lol. I tried on about 8 dresses and we had 2 bottles of champagne and loads of canapes and strawberries. Was worth paying to have the place to ourselves and the staff their were amazing.

After I tried on the 8 dresses I went back to the 1st one and tried it on with my shoes and veil and burst into tears!!!! lol. But it also just so happens to be the most expensive one I tried on :rolleyes: I was trying ones on and the lady was like oh this is only £495 and this one if £595 so when i put the other one on and said it was 'the one' I asked how much and she said it was £1095 :eek:
but it is very similar to the one I already liked so at least I know thats what I want and £175 is a much better price

Yay :j :j :j

Shame about the price though

£175 - are you getting a Landy one? I want to order the rest of my BM dresses from Landy but SIL2B reckons she's still got some weight to lose before I measure I order :rolleyes: She's got until the end of March lol

I haven't done any wedding stuff this week I met with my florist friend on Sunday and we discussed bouquets etc so I'm feeling more positive about the flowers now

Really off topic but I'm a bit peeved today. Found out last week that I'm going on a work trip next week and normally any associated expenses are always repaid. But I will need to put my dog in kennels and they won't pay for that :mad: I can't leave him at home as H2B works nights and it's not fair to leave him (the dog) on his lonesome for 10 hours a day - so kennels is my only option. Plus I had to have a yellow fever jab today, had the worst nurse ever and had to pay £50 for the privilege :eek: I'm highly stressed - and it's nothing to do with the wedding lol

Rant over, hope you're all having a lovely wedding. I am my own nightmare scenario. My friend's wedding is at the end of March and she keeps chasing me for my RSVP and menu choices and I haven't sent them back :eek: I must do it tonight, otherwise kara and all that lol

Im hopefully getting it from a place called Sweetsend Factory Shop. They have a shop in Reading but they dresses are made abroad, So at least I can go and get fitted and try some on, just get an idea of what they look like.

Sammy I know what you mean about the bad day. I feel really sick, think Ive got the flu and to top it off Ive just been sitting on the couch in my dressing gown after a bath and found a massive spider in it :eek: I have the worst fear of spiders and Im still shaking! Its currently trapped under a glass and OH is in work till 10 and its staring at me :eek:

:eek:

Any chance you could slide a bit of paper under the glass and throw it outside? Scary I know, but at least it's gone then. That would def freak m out. My dog's quite a good spider catcher - do you want me to send him round

You have said before about Sweetsends - that's really good that you get to try on a Landy type dress first before it gets ordered. So when are you going to go and order your dress???

I was in John Lewis at Bluewater today and wandered over to the shoe section and went to look at the Rainbow Club shoes. And I was pleasantly surprised to see that the exact shoes that I bought in John Lewis on Oxford Street for £10 were being sold for £75 :j I got a deffo bargain there - in fact there's prob something wrong with my shoes like a broken heel or something lol

lol, I cant, I have this thing where I wont hold the glass incase the spider walks where my handis (weird I know) lol. Plus I want to show the OH how big it is coz he always accuses me of exaggerating.
I have 4 cats so usually they get them for me but this one is massive, An excuse to get a puppy I think )

I looked at the rainbow club shoes and found gorgeous purple ones for the BMS but they were £88. I only spent £25 on mine from Next so no way theyre getting more spent on them then me!
