well all us 1st August brides are now in single figures countdown now - aggghhh

I will advise those who have not had their hen/stagg do's yet to be careful, my H2b was on his stag do last Saturday and he brought me a lovely gift home - 'piggin' swine flu we have both been off work since Tuesday luckily our kids have not got it (touch wood) but we have been watching where they go and who they play with. We have both been on tamiflu and will still be on it over the weekend I have got to say though i am now feeling a tad better than I was on Tuesday night (I slept for at least 24 hours solid) but just warning you all (as if I need to) to be careful xx

Thanks for the warning bluemeanie. We are sure that we both had it about three weeks ago as it went round my school. Felt awful for three days and still got a cough and sore throat now.

Hi Girls,

First off sorry for not being around for a while and sorry for my first post being a rant and general all around moan!

I am so annoyed right now:-

1. My Chief BM still hasnt tried on her dress and the wedding is only 3 weeks away!
2. Only one of them has shoes and I was supposed to be going shopping to get the rest tomorrow and my Chiefy is 'busy' and my sister is staying in coz the cat isnt well (Im a big cat person but there will be 2 other people in with her besides from my sister)
3. My OH is having his stag do this weekend and the Best men decided to surprise him today (wouldnt tell either of us what it was) with...wait for it.... a trip to a bloody fight club. I wasnt happy at first but then thought oh, never mind until I came home and they showed me a video...2mins in and my OH is being punched in the face! Several things are wrong with this to me....black eyes, missing teeth, broken noses do I need to go on? I cant believe how selfish and completely stupid they have all been to do something like that 3 weeks before the wedding.
It was upsetting as well as stupid and selfish but they just laughed like I was over reacting! I dont know if I am but things just dont seem to be going to well right now.
Im not sleeping, I feel like crying at the stupidest things, Im not eating and things just dont seem to be improving and none of this rubbish is helping.
Am I over reacting about everything?

Sorry for such a long post just needed to get it off my chest I think

Val are you joking? Is your H2B is injured? OMG how utterly irrespnsible of the best man. Hope your H2B is ok. x

Aw Val !!!!!!, what on earth were they thinking (scuse the language), you'll be bloomin terrified how they are going to top that, bet your wishing they just had a good drink (not too much) and went to see a stripper, something safe..
Sometimes men get to 14 and that's it mentally they don't develop any further.
I hope your bridesmaids get themselves sorted, I'm sure the crying etc ,is just the heightened emotions that it's understandable , we are all a bit "sensitive" at the moment.
I had a make up trial last night, it was terrible, I looked awful all the make up was luminescent or something so I looked even more shiny than usual.

Both the eyeliner & lipstick were applied directly & not with a brush, it wasn't til after that I realised she did this & could have done exactly the same to someone half an hour before I got there who had herpes & conjunctivitis:eek:
Also the foundation smelt odd, it drove me mad all evening til I realised I think the stuff was off!!!:rolleyes: My bridesmaid & I had booked an app for her to get a tan & myself to have a makeup trial, the door went 20 mins after we got there , it was her Curry getting delivered:eek:
Having a make up trial with a Virginvie lady next week & my photographer has passed my details onto a make up artist she knows so hopefully I will get something sorted, If not I could get my dd to put my makeup on & it would be better than the carry on last night!
Got photos of my test dress through from Milly this morning:j I'm quite happy with it, looks as if the waist is a bit small, so I've asked them to check it's the right size & the train looks a bit long, so I've asked them if that could be shorter.
So everything X'd please ladies I will get my dress in time!!
Sorry for the long post, oh yes can't seem to find my birth certificate!!!! So the wedding might be off anyway:rotfl:sure it must be somewhere.

aimee I wish I was joking!!! I dont think he is injured but I only saw him for about 15mins before they all went out again but if that happened within 2mins I dread to think what happened in the 3 bloody hours!!! I am just so annoyed with them

Violetta dont worry about the language, mine was even worse!!! I very nearly told them all to get out of my house I was that mad but I had to bite my tongue.

Im just hoping he is ok because I havent heard a thing from them. Cant cope with another 2 nights of this!

sorry Violetta, fingers and toes crossed for the dress aswell

:eek: I cant believe how stupid men can be!!! You were not overreacting at all Val, I would have completely been the same! And it is a very emotional time, I have been the same particularly with the work situation, I have been treated unfairly and they are trying to fob me off with bull :mad:

Speaking of swine flu, not sure if I had it but I felt ill from tuesday to yesterday, took day nurse capsules from weds and was feeling better last night. Probably just a cold but I did have a fever as I was hot and cold all the time. Now Im over it I hope it was swine flu so at least I wont get it again!!

Ive been sat in my living room all week wrapping the favours in turquoise tissue, they are doubling up as the placenames, hope to finish this weekend and then all I have to do is pay the balance on the church and venue fees!! Oh and print out the seating plans etc whilst I can still use the work printer :T

Hope you all enjoyed your hen dos so far. Mine is next weekend, looking forward to the facial and massage more than anything!! Really hate work for causing undue stress and ruining the excitement, I must not let it affect me any longer.

Violetta - OMG I cannot believe what happened at your make up trial!!! I had mine last week and she made me look like a drag queen but at least she was clean, calm and professional!! She had to scale it down twice before I was happy with it. At least she got the hair right first time. It is quite shocking how much they trowel on but at least I know on the day it will be how I like it. Really glad I had a trial.

H2B has gone to global today so I have the girls round - champagne cream teas, some nice food and wine on the roof terrace, fingers crossed for sunshine - have a good weekend all :beer:

OMG you guys!!!! HOW quick has it come round??? Can't wait to hear all your reports and see your pics.

I'm 4 weeks today and everytime I even think about it I feel panic rise lol.

If i'm not around before, hope all you Aug 1st ladies have an amazing time!

Val - You're not overreacting at all. I WOULD have thrown them all out if it were me. I just showed OH your post and he was appalled!
