    Hi Primmer,

    Its £4.50ish I think, I usually pay for a 6 week block, that way you get a week free or something and it means ive committed myself - makes me more likely to go. Plus there is a thread on here for SW that I started that quite a few of us use, to swap recipes, tips and suppoty x

    Primmer, Have you started looking for a dress yet? I got mine in Witney, I would reccommend Proposals and Mae Bridal. Satin & Lace in Newbury are nice too. I didnt like Cariad bride in Faringdon though x

    Mrs Moore to be - I haven't started looking yet, someone else a few days ago recommended a shop in Whitney, think that might have been proposals. Ideally I want to lose a bit if weight before u start looking so was thinking of going shopping for dress in September.
  • Hiya

    I was gonna do that too (lose weight first) but what they have done with me is agreed to do measurements in Sept, then the dress will come by end of Feb and they will do alterations then. I found the dress in June and if they took measurements then by Feb it would be too big by a lot - this way im minimising alterations. If I waited till sept/oct when I was going to start looking it would be cutting it fine getting the dress. Plus it too me over 2 months to find 'the one'.

    Just dont want you to run out of time xx

    That is a good point, not getting married until end of august next year so hopefully will have time. Just think if I look now I might miss the "one" as so hung up on weight.
  • Any more oxfordshire tips to share? The lady I used for our honeymoon is good and lives in Oxfordshire.
    Also there is a few fairs coming up... anyone know any good make up artists? x

    Only person i know is http://www.lizevansbeauty.co.uk/makeup.htm she is in Witney. liz herself is a lovely lady i used to be her avon lady a few years ago. Have not had make up done by her but the makeup she wear is always good and not caked on. People with to much make up scare me.
