Besides I've met you and, as a man with impeccable taste, I think your a lil bit of a stunner, if I'd not found D I think your oh would have to watch out

Oo-er, I'm blushing!
Glad you had fun in Kent Cinny! And how exciting that you can be living with your OH so soon- I wonder if that peg bag is still available from Cath Kidston?!
Back to the wedding dress, I've already found out that the RRP is £700, not £845 so I'm not happy with the dress shop for marking it up so much! There's a shop stocking that designer in Northallerton so I'll see what crazy price they're selling it for! I wasn't allowed to take any photos in the shop either, apparently it's to do with the designers' copyright so dressmakers can't make copies, how ridiculous, all of the dresses are online anyway! MIL was gutted as she wanted to see pictures, I have to go again with her now... I already see a pattern emerging with the mothers!
Hope work goes OK today Lara, don't get too worried until you know what's up with the client!

Cinny - That is exciting that you might be moving in with OH

Birdie - that sounds so irritating about the dress, they do like to rip people off don't they. Can't believe they wouldn't let you take pics either.

Probably good if you try it on again, hopefully you'll love it as much and you'll be happy in your choice, but a second fitting is always a good idea just in case you see it in a different light/different day and have a bit of a wobble.

Birdie85

It'll help if I actually try the right size on too! The one I tried on was a size 8 and there was no chance of it doing up! I'm all excited about the dress but I can't even wear it for a year and a half! I'm going to look around for other dresses in the same style just to make sure I've got the perfect one!

Are all sample dresses in really tiny sizes? I'm not giant but I am busty and I just don't get how I could get a feel for a dress that I couldn't even vaguely fasten up!

NIM has agreed to take over the cheerleading role for making us exercise, both of our trousers are getting a bit tight, so we really need to make more of an effort rather than buying new trousers!

Most were size 12, but they are quite small sizes, I had to wiggle and jump about to get my bum into some of them! I was quite surprised that the sample of the dress I wanted was only size 8, it's not a very common size is it? And it's easier to hold a dress tight to your body when it's too big to get a feel of how it looks than to have a too-small dress gaping at the back because it won't fasten! I'm glad I'm not bigger because I'd have come away feeling depressed! There were only about 10 dresses that were 'Plus Size' out of about 60-70 in the shop!
And I'm with you on the too-tight-trousers front! I've ordered a low-carb cookbook (actually it should arrive today...) as I should really go back on that diet, I know it works and I'm so much healthier feeling when I'm on it!

I'm getting a bit tight in my trousers as well, diet and exercise time I think!

Can't believe the dresses are small. You are right that it would be easier to hold a larger dress up to yourself.

Ah if they're a 12 that's not too bad, I'm a 12 on top and 10 on the bottom. However I'm hoping to loose a stone (is that 12llbs or 14llbs anyone?!) by the end of September, so should be back to a 10 all around.

Poolie

1 Stone = 14 Pounds

Morning everyone!

A stone is 14lbs Dinah, i could do with losing about that amount as well! I keep saying it but i really need to do something about it.

Busy day for us today. OH and i are just about to walk up to the post office to send all my ebay parcels and then we're going to get on with sorting the flat out and get some packing done. Hopefully will have some more things to put on ebay as well!
