    I wish she was little, she's almost as tall as me and a size 10 now lol!!

    With her growing still I can't get her dress till next summer, but I know she wants pink of some kind.

    She is really excited, but I know on the run up to the wedding she will be such a diva!

    Kids eh :rolleyes::rotfl:

    i can't remember off the top of my head who i was telling but i work for a well known company and i deal with flowers and you can get 10 fresh gerberas for £3 and there are always pink ones especially at the moment you could get them to put you a pack by if you ask a week beforehand. Besides, you can get them a week before and refrigerate them, they'll be fresh as daisies! lol.

    Other than that Dunelm and wilkinson do cheap faux ones, if that helps?
  • Oooooooh, Wilkinson is a good idea JayJay - so not only have you helped Shell, you have helped me too - THANKS :D
