Oh:(. Sorry . Pregnancy is a bit of a touchy subject for me, everyone, and I mean, everyone is having babies at the moment...Why did I end up with such a stubborn OH???

I felt really positive this morning but now I'm in work the mood has changed very slightly. Just wish it was april and I cud start getting the bits and pieces for my big day. I know april will be here before I know it etc etc but it still does seem such a long way away!

Tomorrow will be 12 weeks till debt free day and 41 weeks till my wedding day!

Have decided on having a sweetie table at the wedding after my friend had one at his wedding in December – fab idea!

Found some suitable jars in ikea which are cheap and a couple of wicked sweetie websites which don’t seem too expensive. Cant wait! Think it will go down with everyone and we have 11 children coming too so better watch their parents don’t start having a go for providing loads of sweets for their kids! Lol!

Sweetie table is great, my friend is adament to have a chocolate fontain with marshmallows on stick in one corner of the reception-can't wait:D.

Try charity shops as well for jars, they sometimes have multicoloured ones or really pretty shaped ones for a pound, they are really really nice. I gave sweets in jars for my sister and husband, and brother and fiancee for Christmas, and the 2 jars came from a charity shop. They loved them-we agreed to buy presents only for kids not for adults but I did want to give them something small.

12 weeks till debt free day? Well done, time's passed so quickly. I did a spreadsheet the day before yesterday and realized that I could pay back my loan by mid-March and still keep up the savings-I'm excited .

Have you ordered the bridesmaid dresses yet now that the colours go together?

keza

wow thats wicked news about your loan! fantastic! i like moments like that

Now that the colours go together, i have encountered a whole new problem, 3 of my four bridesmaids are on diets/gym!!! so i cant order them until march the very earliest as they will prob be bored by then and stop losing weight (not that they need to!)

hows the tesco mobile selling going? xx

Sold 3 of them, one is still on ebay. I keep the 5th one, it was only £15 and at the moment there are about 500 of them on ebay, I might give it to my parents when I see them at Easter (yuk, bad,bad daughter-haven't seen them since October ). The most expensive ones sold within days, the one is on ebay is for about £40 so it was still worth it to get the flights for my brother's wedding.

Shame about the diet- meaning that you can't order it yet. But march is nearly here.

We are going to be ordering our wedding cake tonite! Yay! Another thing crossed off the list!

I'm mega excited about the wedding, almost 9 months away but everythings steady and under control. Hopefully there wont be any last min rushes!

Lost another 1lb on my weigh in yesterday. So I'm below my target weight which is good news. My belly feels a little less flabby now aswell and more toned which is awesome! Gym must be doing something!

Just waiting for min payment date to come round on the virgin cc so I can pay another £50 off! Shud be in the next week ) also got my £50 compensation from Natwest today so another problem brought to a swift close!
