    Plus it might be a bit wierd to have a wedding dress hanging in your wardrobe, I don't want to frighten anyone off:D

    Especially if you hang it on the outside of the wardrobe :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I saw a dress last week which would be perfect as a wedding dress:o I did actually ponder buying it and worrying about the groom later:o :rotfl:It was in the sales as well so would have counted as a bargain:D I had to remind myself there will always be dresses.

    LOL, fantastic!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    You are right though, there will always be dresses. I struggle with that while shopping. I love that bag etc...there will always be stuff I love.

    Along the wedding (dress) theme, does anybody watch 'Don't tell the bride' on BBC3? The last two have had me sat there thinking 'You are in soo much !!!!!!...you are sooo dead...' It is quite entertaining, but you do wonder if they have ever sat down and discussed what kind of wedding they'd like beforehand.
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending
  • I keep meaning to watch that! Is it any good? I quite enjoyed four weddings on living- think it was called that anyway, where they all went to each others weddings and had to rate them. Total !!!!!iness!

    I'm limiting myself to just shoes I can buy on uniform allowance, at 75% off- I think i've manged to just buy maybe two other pairs this year. That is officially a miracle! But I have promised when I find myself a lovely groom I will be wearing some super blinging Ginas down the aisle! The sparklier the better!

    Managed not to spend anything today, and done some MBing, but having to withdraw it as it's holiday 2 weeks tomorrow! But it's MOT time on wednesday, so fingers crossed everythings OK, as I'm a bit !!!!!!ed if not!
