    Kaz - they are both nice - I seem to have missed that you're getting married, so congratulations. Personally I would go for the first dress with the butterflies on, as if it is hot and you get a bit flushed, the red will emphasise that.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Kaz - I like them both too but would go with the first one. I went with something similar from Monsoon for mine so I am prejudiced.

    Pigpen - try and enjoy the silence, but hugs for you wether you like it or not

    That's ok carlsberg - sorry I forgot to say apology accepted earlier. I would blame the heat personally - I know it's fried my brain (and my body too judging by the pinkness of my face again today) this week.

    Pigpen-I spend ages looking forward to EH having the kids for a weekend then when the evening comes I feel completely lost without them. Must be even harder when you have 8 children.


    I Agree with Jo. Try and do something for yourself. If the children were here right now what would you wish you could do?

    Kaz - the first one......it will make you look more tanned etc too. Its beautiful. Not that the other one isnt, but it you get a little bit pink in the sun - red isnt what you want to be wearing.

    That said im sure your much smarter than me and never get too much sun and they are both very beautiful.

    Sexy - Thanks and happy birthday to you to! Im having a BBQ too! hope you enjoy your double celebration!

    There was something else.......what was it now??
