    Do you fancy looking for some seed beads for me lol. I've just spent £20 but I have got assorted not just seed beads oops lol. I've also seen how small the beads are and I am well stressing, I bought around 1500 and I don't think it'll be enough!!!! I go dress shopping on Saturday but it's actually a closed shop so I'm not going to have a sales assistant to help. I've 6 months and have very little organised apart from a deposit to the hotel and the form to the rev

    They to make a bouquet with lol. I need champagne and chocolate/brown kind of colour, just as many as poss for as little as poss. A lot of people use glass but the beads look like they'll catch the light pretty well. I have some white coming this week.

    The site I'm following suggests 11/0 beads, which are abot 2.2mm so as close to that I guess. No wonder I got the wrong size, I didn't realise it had to be that small least I have the bigger sizes to practise with!!

    I'm so happy :j my wedding dress has finally arrived at the shop :j

    Downside is i now have to wait 6 weeks to have the final (and only) fitting/alteration session and i still have nearly 1.5 stone to loose :o and buy the underwear etc.

    What type of underwear have you all gone/going for?

    I was debating corset/basque as i have a strapless dress and quite big boobs! (G cup) and want to make sure i don't fall out & they are held into position all day!

    So many discisions!

    At least i have made all the invitations (just need to post them!)

    We got our wedding rings last weekend, and some material to make the wedding favour bags.

    What are you all doing for favours?

    Wow, you have done sooo well on your weightloss! Have you been following a particular diet? What an inspiration! :T:):D

    I have been following Slimming World - it is fantastic - i can eat so much and still have a takeaway every week!

    I have gone for the D'Zage D9941 - as i love the colour (burgundy/wine) and just felt it was the 'one' when i tried it on! - I wanted something quite different and it had to have colour in it!
