    Hope all your family members are feeling much better soon Jo, and I'm glad your biopsy got the all clear! It is exciting to be looking at all sorts of things - looking at stationary ideas at the moment, though I'd quite like to make them myself I think, even though I'm not very creative/artistic!

    Thanks! Everyone seems better apart from hubbys uncle. The doctor in the hospital attempted to do the camera test on hubbys' uncle on Thursday and Friday but didn't get it completed either of the two times. Apparently there is too much fluid in his stomach and they are afraid of it spilling into his lungs as there is fluid there already. He also has a chest infection.

    I remember when I got married our stationery matched our wedding rings and the cake had the same design on it. Have you thought about colour schemes or themes for your wedding? It is all so exciting when planning the big day!!

    Thanks! I don't like dealing with any illness - I am not brave enough! :o I can only wish you well with your treatment. Speaking to you reminds me of a lady who used to come to where I used to work. She was very quiet, kept herself to herself, didn't say very much to any of the staff apart from hello and every Friday she went to the hairdressers and had her hair done. This day she came in and it looked much better than usual so I thought perhaps she had changed hairdressers or perhaps she had a different stylist that day. However I said to her that her hair was looking really well today, she said that is a wig dear as I am going through treatment for cancer. :o:o:o:o Well I nearly fell through the floor, passed out with shock and wished the gound would have opened up there and then. I immediately apologised and repeated I was sorry that I did not know, all I could say was sorry I really didn't know. She took my hand and while squeezing it and looking directly into my eyes said never worry about it dear you have made my day as I wasn't sure about wearing it.

    This happened before I had the accident that caused me to lose the majority of my sight! :o :eek: :o :eek:

    Sometimes I think I suffer from "Foot in mouth syndrome" and that was certainly one of those days! :o

    Purple, silver and white - them colours are really beautiful. My sister had an Easter wedding and she had purple and white. Her flowergirls dresses were beautiful. I remember when the flowergirls asked what colour the dresses were we told them they were pineapple because we knew they would tell what colour the dresses were and they did. One flowergirl was 3 years old and the other was 5 years old. It was so funny when people asked them the colour of the dresses and they said pineapple as those asking thought they were going to be a really bright yellow! They got a big shock on the day! :rotfl:

    There is sooo much to organise but at least you have this site to help you keep costs down. I only wish I had it when I got married as our wedding cost just over £14K and as I have previously said that will be twelve years ago on Saturday coming. :eek:
