    Morning all.

    MRI went fine, although took over half an hour, which was a nerve wracking 30minutes as I get so claustrophobic. They did give me some headphones and played 80s rock at me though!

    Received my wedding invites today (photos can be found n my blog here). Very pleased with them, plus mum has said she'll pay for them and the orders of service, table plan, etc etc. This should save us a few hundred quid, which effectively we can scrub off our savings chart.

    For anyone stuck on mothers day, Tesco have half price hardbacked photo books making them just £6.49. So my brother and I are clubbing together to try to get mum 8 of them or so as she loves photographs, but never gets them printed. I've done one last night, going to try to do another 3 or 4 today, as the offer only runs till Tuesday.

    oooh nice invites! are they going to be expensive?? I think invites is def something I want to do myself when I get married, i love papery bits and glue and ribbons! Nice of your mum to pay though!
    Denimwise - I think you should try a special denim needle, I think they are blunter and work well on the dense denim fabric. Other than that, look at your tensions maybe if it was eating your work?
    Great news - I'm finally over the 50000 mark!! (lol by about 150 points!)!! so when they all go through I can claim my cheque!!

    Thanks, I'm really loving them too. Mum hasn't told me what its all costing to be honest. She's doing our orders of service, name thingies on the tables and table plans too. I always planned on doing them myself, but because she does it for a living she buys it all in bulk, and from the rough prices she gave it could well be cheaper than us buying the bits ourselves and making them - the cost of a pritt stick is one of my eternal whinges! I sense she might be slightly discounting for us being friends. Plus there is no way I have time to make anything as nice as hers at the moment - I am in awe of people at full time jobs, organising a wedding and buying a house all at once - the knee thing actually came at a pretty good time!

    Doctor said call in a week, but MRI lady said 2 weeks, so we'll see. Thanks CMD, I'm really chuffed with them, was terrified of getting a 'cute' homemade look.
