    9 days to go!!!

    managed to get my mum to let me try on the dress after i had a sneeky peak and realised there is no modesty panel. anyway, it doesnt look as nice in my opinion as when i first got it (mum says it does) but it does lace up to a degree that is not too bad and doesnt look really silly. When i had it on we realised that the many layers of nettig were creased in the wrong direction etc etc so i had it on and mum steamed it to sort it out, that was a little warm i can tell you lol

    had my hair dye to day and am having it curled and if that doesnt work my layers re put in and thinned out on Saturday

    just checked the wedding gift list and there are 3 more pressies on their, woop woop, i love looking and seeing what we have, like a kid at christmas.

    been training the kids to stay in the garden as the person we were going to pay to walk them doesnt want to do it, they are not used to being left etc and we have been trying to trainthem to stay in the garden and go into the garage if it rains or gets too hot etc. going well so far.


    how is everyone else tonight then?
    :p
    Thank you to all posters
  • sounds like you are all set monkeys bunny!

    My sweet cravings are still here, plus the strange dreams and icing on the cake my power steering on the car went yesterday so been having mini rants all day about getting a bus pass instead! Its going to the garage tmrw, but seems like an expensive job so pretty miffed as will have to come out of the wedding/ house fund :( one less bridesmaid....lol!
    I love food, hate waste and have a penchant for sparkly things ::D

    Trying to find a work life balance...:rotfl:

    I'm all pencilled in!! I don't think I asked any questions but they kind of said everything I wold need to know anyway. I coldn't get my corkage down, unfortunately but it'll still be cheaper to take my own plus I'll know that we like it! No one is much of a wine drinker anyway so it should be pretty cheap! Got to send the forms off today as well as a deposit for reception. I suddenly feel anxious lol

    OMG! Popped into a local boutique to browse; ended up with an appointment for 2hrs later to try things on; took ALL my details including grooms name, email, phone, date of wedding etc etc; not pushy but intense. Tried on about 9 dresses; whittled it down to 3, ranging in price from £250 (in the sale) to £1000 for a Sottero and Midgley Landis.

    So can anyone guess which one I fell in love with?

    If some wonderful soul can find me a size 12 for a price that normal hooman beans will pay, I would be overjoyed!! And marry you instead of my man!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.
