The dress is Alfred Angelo. Search for his name and then put in style 2015

The images online of it really do not do it justice. Along the flowers there are rows of beading and stones which really catch the light. It is ridiculously slimming!!! As i am very short the line up the skirt helps to make me look a bit taller.

i was worried about it not being glitzy enough. But on saturday i tried it on again with a veil with sprkly beading and a very sparkly tiara and that was definitely enough.

Also in the pic the skirt looks like it is a lot straighter than it actually is. It pinches in at the waist and then flows out more A-line

Very very pleased :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Went to The Big Sheep yesterday on our tesco vouchers! Then back for a bbq at MIL's. It was a really good day.

I have a day off today. The kids are round the neighbours so i am tidying up and them i am going to read my book in the sun

Completed two of my 101 things on friday which i have crossed off my list. :j:j:j:j

Oh yeah i got my AAT second year exam results today and i passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woop woop:T:T:T:T:T. I would love to know the actual mark but all you get is a pass which is a bit annoying!

Right off to finish drying up

oh Kel it's beautiful :j what colour is the trim on yours? I'm so soppy I feel a bit weepy just looking at it.

I loved my wedding dress, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever owned. When we were sorting out the cupboard in our bedroom yesterday i wanted to put it on for a bit, but DH wouldn't help me with the corset, and couldn't understand why I wanted to wear it! stupid man! :cool:

Thanks Jules

oh yeah forgot to mention the colour of the trim!

Mine is in a colour called cafe. Pretty much a beige. So doesn't stand out too much but is a little different at the same time

Bliming men!! They never understand! lol

Well done on passing your exams Kel :j

The dress sounds lovely. I had a nipped in/A line style for mine and had a sparkly tiara to lift it a bit. I managed to get the tiara really cheap in the sales but I think they do them in a lot of a department stores now at not quite so an expensive price. I loved that feeling of finding a dress that worked

Morning all!

Lost a pound this week. Which i am pleased about as i feel i have been stuffing my face!!!!!!!!!

Sorted out money last night. In the car on the way home OH told me he was pretty much skint!!!!! Oh my god i panicked! We haven't gone mad this month and her had an extra £240 in his pay packet! I literally came out in a sweat!!!!!

The panic is we need to pay the hotel £300 for the wedding venue. I was hoping her would pay £150 and so would i.

Then we got home and looked at our accounts and actually it is okay.

AFTER paying the £150 from my account i would have £100 left. But then £84 goes in tomorrow and next weds. Leaving me with £268. I have two birthdays to buy for and then a few food bits and a couple of activities to pay for the kids So i am hoping to have around the £200 mark left.

We looked at OH's account and he has £200 left. So not too skint. He needs about £30 of fuel to last until payday and he is taking his son to a monster truck show thing.

SO we have said i will pay £200 and he can do £100 and then whatever we have left we will then throw towards the wedding debt or get DD2's birthday presents for next month as we don't budget for our own kids birthdays yet.

So feeling a bit better now!!!

I am of now to do the crosstrainer and some wii boxing i think!

Also want to have picked some bits to ebay today

Right off to properly start the day

Back to work tomorrow after a long weekend :(:(

Well done on your pass :j, thats excellent news :beer:, only a few to go now .

The dress is absolutely gorgeous, I do like Alfred Angelo's colour range and that dress looks absolutely perfect for a beach wedding too, you must be so happy

:T to another weight loss too, I have avoided weighing myself this week as I think it will be bad . Glad to hear that the money panic is over as well, I am starting to worry I might have left myself a little short till payday but it's only 9 days so hoping I can manage.

lol M2G you beat me -i am 5 foot nothing!!

Had a great day today. OH and I took DD's to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D. Then went to pizza hut. Kids ate free so not too bad. £19.18 for the meal.

I am justifying it that we are going a lot of tesco voucher days out and walks geocaching which don't cost anything so the odd day like this isn't too bad.

Also bought DD2 the ELC dolls treehouse for £32. I got the £8 off it with a 20% of voucher. Also some play money for their toy till for £3.20.

We were looking at getting her a DS as she fights to go on DD1's but then OH said he would prefer something that used their imagination. So she can have a DS either xmas or for her 6th birthday.

So far for her birthday

Treehouse £32
gorgeous skirt in the LW sale £3
striped hoody in the next sale £8
Tinkerbell puzzle £5
A mini hippo teddy that looks like her fave 'big' hippo teddy £1.50
Play money £3.20

We are going to get her some new winter boots and some jeans and i think that should be it. I may get another toy item for about a tenner as otherwise there is a lot of clothes.

I find it rather DFW to but clothes for birthday as i would have to get them for winter anyway!

Reached £10 in OH's bingo scratches yesterday so withdrew that. Also claimed £10 voucher from valued opinions and OH has a £10 payment on it's way from panelbase. So that is another £30 towards our xmas fund :-)

Trying to get on with making DD"'s christening book but it is going very slowly! Didn't help that i didn't have any glue :-) x
