Yeah, I'm back into 3rd year in a matter of weeks... going to be a busy year! Working, studying, wedding planning!
Omg are you okay??? You better get it checked out! Just to be sure! Think you better get your fella to look after you, so sit down and have some wine! (or an archers and lemonade in my case, very refreshing!)
and WOW your making your own dress, i think thats fantastic, so personal!

Hope you feel better soon x

Oooh no sorry Emma....I'm not making my own dress:o, I'm making my own veil. Have asked my MIL2B and my mum to make my dress so I'm waiting to see what sort of ideas we come out with!

Don't drink alcohol (although at times I wish I did) but I've got plenty of my fave peach water that sort of tastes like Archers and Lemonade

Getting OH to take me to the hospital in the morning as the ankle is not getting any better and he's at work at the mo and he won't get back until late tonight:(

I've only got the studying and wedding planning so it's not TOO bad

Update - went to the hospital this morning, no breaks:T just a really bad sprain:eek:. Been told to rest, ice and elevate (I was doing this already) so got OH running round like a crazy man looking after me!:D

Hey nunny - glad its just a sprain and not a break... hopefully trhe rest and being looked after will help all mend ok!! Make most of OH running round for you, lol.

Hope you are all getting on ok with bits - glad kinda sorted the invite thing out now, bet thats a big relief!
We had said we were going to get brochures from vista and put in our invites with info - address, menu choice etc - but i think from looking they are the width of an A4 peice of paper, our invites are not that tall so the brochures wont fit in unless they are folded on the end - am really annoyed!! OH said we can just get bigger envelopes to fit that length, but thats just an extra cost, but then if we go with the brochure and fold we may have to pay more postage for the ones to be sent cos woudltn fit through the letterbox thing.
So am not sure what to do now!

Making most of internet working today and trying to look up on bits; got list of things to talk over with OH tonight.

Am struggling with buttonholes though, not sure what to do - i dont need my flowers from lady i orginally emailed and when i asked bout button holes other day she said she does them from the B/BM flowers so would have to be ordered together so matches. Which is no good.
What you you sorted out? (am having artificial - which is why sorting now!)

hope you are all ok, and remember to keep reseted nunny!

OK now to go completely off thread! Been having some completely weird dreams this past week.....last night involved Roger Federer and a rollercoaster?!! I don't even like either of them!!

Emma1988

Haha That just made me chuckle! I had a dream the other night that i wanted some clothes in the tesco sale, but i couldnt buy them, because try kept running away from me!

nunnygirl

In a bit of a pickle!

As I've previously posted I had a lovely lady who was going to do my invitations for me. I have been communicating backwards and forwards for about a month now trying to get the design right and we finally seemed to agree on what I wanted.

Today she sent me yet another sample and it's still not what I asked for

How can I tell this woman that I don't want her to make the invitations anymore after I told her that I definitely wanted her to make them? I feel I can do a better job of them myself to be truthful!

curlylou1986

Hey, how is everyone getting on?

Not had internet properly for a few days - stupid orange!! but seem to be OK for the time being!

Nunny did you sort out your invite predicament?
Surely if what you had both talked about and agreed on and then the finished item wasnt what you really wanted then she should understand...? cam imagine must be really difficult though (

b it of an update on things really - have my button holes now - absolutely gorgous!!! from a lady on emay - just under £22 for 20 inc postage! have put a post about it seperatly as the lady was really helpful and gave me the amount of each colour i requested. They are foam, but look amazing! pictures dont really do them justice at all, i was so excited to get home from work to them, was jumping with happiness when opend them!!

I also got my order from vista too! was very very impressed with that as well!! we got a banner - is bigger than i thought and did the measurements of in my head and its not on paper/card either - its a type of plastic vinyl so that was a complete bargain for £3.50! BM tshirt is fab as well, along with the mug too! it really is an amazing website site!! they must be getting a lot of business at the moment from all of us!!

any ways - enough rambling on for now, hope everyone is ok and over their colds/sprained ankels etc! xx

nunnygirl

Yeah it's all been dealt with now Lou.....my mum is speaking to a printer near where she lives to see if they can do them for us

Ankle is MUCH better now, still a bit painful but hey-ho...it's only been 2 weeks


I LOVE your buttonholes...the orange is FAB

Vista is FAB isn't it?! I;m ordering some more stuff next month when the freebies start rolling in again
