The Ultimate Incentive to have an amazing 2010.

Zig, I think that's a really nice gift. Like CMD said, Burts Bees are nice and natural and if our resident Mummy-to-be says that she'd have it then I reckon that's a stamp of approval!

I spent all night last night on my Wii playing Wii Fit and then jumping around like a loon on HSM Dance and I've put on 1lb this morning! I knew I had as well, I could feel my biiiiiiig belly in bed last night! Grrrr, I'm not even that bad; if I ate and ate all day I'd understand the weight gain but I don't!

Tete - No debt free yet as I owe Mrs Poolie money and she is worse than any debt collector for wanting to know when she is getting her money.

:rotfl: Good for her! Is she charging interest or are you paying that in kind?

Zig - I loove Burt's Bees - I got my friend a Mama & Baby Bee set when she had her little one and she loved it - I'd say definitely get it. Johnsons is the kind of daily essential you'd buy yourself, this is a bit of a luxurious treat.

Agape do look really good, I'd love that style photography for my wedding - I don't like all the stiff posed photos you get with every possible combination of guests - can't wait to see what they turn out like in, ooh, 8 months' time!

Birdie is it hormonal at all? TOTM is a big spanner in the works I find, usually followed by a good loss the week after...

I don't think it is Tete, not for another week! I'm just a porker...

Have you been adding up what you eat each day? When I estimate rather than weigh and write it down I'm usually underestimating by at least 1/3!

7 months 2 weeks 1 day apparently. have an appointment with a cake maker this weekend, although we think we're probably going to ask one of NIMs colleagues to make it as shes very skilled and won't charge anywhere near as much. Also we think we're going with something a bit different and none weddingy - specifically these. Not sure weather to do a traditional tiered cake like in the photo, or something more iceberg-y like this. I know its not a 'real' wedding cake, but its a bit of fun and I refuse to take the wedding too seriously!

Also mum is taking me wedding dress shopping again in the morning.

I'm actually watching Burt of Burt's bees on discovery science atm, the factory is SO clean and the product so natural and the workers are all very, very happy, I want some now!

Dinah I love the penguin cake - it is sooooo gorgeous. Also like the iceberg cake (but for me the penguins have it:rotfl:)

7 months 2 weeks 1 day apparently - not that you are counting;)

Lol I have a ticker to keep me on track! Oh its definately the penguins, but on an iceberg cake or on a plain cake, thats the question?!

VERY happy, just checked my online clubcard account and I have £152.50 of Tesco voucheres due to date in February! That'll take me over the £300 mark and get me my 1st silver medal already! We only needed £252 to pay for NIMs modules next year if he does 70 credits, which is what he did this year, so we've got that already. If he does an extra module, thats another £90 of Tesco vouchers, so we'd only be £61 short for that as well and then its all on to saving for New York! Plus mum said she'd give us £40 or £50 of vouchers towards New York (hoping she'll give them in Feb). Very happy Tesco have opened up whole other avenues for us with their clubcard deals!

I love the iceburg cake!

Good for you for doing something different, i think so many weddings all look the same.

Dinah93

I might get some white edible glitter to mix into the icing, make it look really like snow. To be honest that would be such an easy cake to make I really am tempted to do it myself.

Birdie85

I love the iceberg cake too! So cool! I've been looking for a good beachy type cake for the 'home' party that isn't just covered in seashells... I might just end up with a blue cake covered in hibiscus flowers!

Voucher stash is growing nicely! Are you excited about dress shopping tomorrow?!
