Toto you look fab hun
Well chicka you know where to find me if ya find you need a dress - I'm glad it turned out that it was you loosing weight and not the dress LOL
As for OH needing to have his memory erased... I wouldn't worry about it... Once your hair is up and you're glammed to the eye balls you'll look totally different and he'll sob like a baby when you walk down the isle to meet him
Relatives - tell them to sod off! Especially MIL

thank goodness - I'm sure i was not the only one with my heard in my mouth (sorry I do not have any wedding dressed - in fact don't think I have any dresses!)

Evil thoughts to in laws...............

Toto

I'm glad you feel better today, I can't wait to see you in the dress, I'm sure you look beautiful.

My wedding seems like a million years ago now, it really does go quickly. But you will have a wonderful day and I'm positive you will look stunning.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I don't feel pretty at all, just a big fat lump right now

OberonSH

Oooh, toto, you [STRIKE]big fat[/STRIKE] fibber. The pics are lovely, and fat you aint.

Now my OH's cousin - there's a girl who needs a few tonnes of lettuce. His grandma said yesterday Becky (the cousin) is not coming because she objects to fish n chips at lunch - needs to get in a bikini apparently. I'm sorry, but the shape she is, it's going to take some major re-inforcement and proably blindfolds for the onlookers as it it - one portion of fish is not going to do any major damage to Planet Becky.

I can be mean about her, as apparently the other reason she's not coming is that she doesn't like me - having met me twice and her being trolleyed both times....

So today is a lot more positive, now I know it's my tummy that's the wrong shape, not the dress. Looking at my hysterical posts last night I must just have been over-tired - DD has decided that getting up at 3am and scratching at Mummy & Daddy's door like a cat is an excellent way to pass a sleepless night. Mate's coming over today to 'have a neb' as they say over here (i.e. have a nosy at it) and seeing as she is The Shoe Queen (kind of like the Snow Queen, but good with insoles) she can advise on footwear. At least I know it will have desired effect on OH. Will get her to take phots of the actual dress so you can all 'have a neb'.

So apart fro aving to pay for DJ today, a no spend I think. Got plenty of lovely things in the cupboard to eat, bought a book from Oxam yesterday packed wth biscuits, as DD is having a 'baking is cool' phase, and might even practice with the false nails I bought - my own are shot to pieces thanks to DD's latest tantrum taking most of them down to the nail bed picking her up off the floor. Not a happy mummy - was just starting to cultivate a decent set of claws.

Todays tip - don't forget to turn your sofa cushions over regularly - so it today in fact - that way they get even wear and your suite will last longer.

Have a cheap day my chicks!

False nails.. if you d the kit thingies MAKE SURE you take the spare glue with you on the wedding day... I had mine "done" and they were fine... my mum had a kit and boy was she glad I brought the glue with me on the day

In_Search_Of_Me

aww thank goodness for that! Was worried for you! Toto I'm sure youre as gorgeous as always if prev photos are anything to go by & being a baby grow bag is a true gift so for those of us who are unlikely to experience the feeling of being a beached whale (well not cos of a baby anyhoo!!) please just enjoy it & feel blessed because its precious...if uncomfortable
Re the shes (assume you havent got any yet?) some discount shops do nice cheapish ones, car boot or charity shops may have second hand...

morning obi - im at work and on here being sneaky lol but i just though id pop on and say good morning! thanks for the spreadsheet etc, i did as you advised and wrote everything down - gives me something to work towards - tried to tackel Oh last nite (as per my diary) but lets just say he can bury his head deeper than an ostrich so ina way i still feel like im on my own with this - ho hum - better get on with it then !! :-)

OberonSH

Feels better to get it on paper, don't you think? At least the you can see what you're dealing with. Better to know and plan, then guess and muck it all up.

You'll be fine my love, crack on, and make a ton of money!!
