    My maid of honor might kill me if I don't give her time to slim down before I put in the order, thanks for the offer though. NIMs dad goes over about 4-6 times a year, so hopefully he can get them nearer the time.

    Sorry guys, internet keeps crashing here so my post got lost!

    Trip sounds amazing CMD!

    Not in ID, I'm a teacher. It's for a residential school for very vulnerable girls in care.

    I'd get them for you Dinah but am going to have enough trouble trying to survive at -30 without carrying bridesmaid dresses too lol! How did you order them though? Might be interested, although can't decide if saving Mum work is good vs. personal touch of her making them (for her I mean).

    Oooh, I was just having a mooch around the website I was posting DOTD from for bridesmaid dresses and I really like this for a party dress, tempted to get it!

    It would actually be nice for my wedding if I could talk myself into wearing a short dress!

    I like the first dress as a party dress! Too plain for a wedding though. I love the second one. I'd like to try the last one on for fun, but I'd never have it!

    It's so cold tonight, and the heating is on and everything. I hate the cold!

    Bails, I'm training to be a teacher :) I wanted to teach abroad but OH doesn't so :o Go you for getting out there and doing it though!

    Crikey, all this ring talk! I was actually looking at them today while me and my mum were shopping. Looking in all the pretty windows at £500+ rings and I couldn't see a single one I liked - Then saw a stunning green art deco one and looked at the price tag ... £24! Thats OH sorted then. Admittedly it was from Past Times but that's by the by. I love the ring your OH got you Zig, simple but really pretty! My computer wont load the other rings though so I can't have a looksie :(

    Birdie - Love all your DOTDs! The back on the first is really pretty - That bridesmaids dress is my dream wedding dress though.

    CMD - Hope you have fun in Aussie land! Bring me back some Uggs if you really feel you must :D

    Dinah, you know you write reviews for NIM's DooYoo account, is it beneficial? Like, does it make a big difference?

    Cuz there's loads of times I have time to write a few reviews but I don't wanna put them all up cuz I want to spread them out. So I was thinking I could do what you do, but only if it's worth it. And is it allowed?!

    ETA - I have just written a 1258 word review on GBK on DooYoo! So if people wanna go rate it to make it worthwhile then feel free :D As soon as I posted it someone had rated it VU. I don't know whether to be pleased it's a good rating, or p!ssed that he's rated it without even reading it!
