    Aless well done on the comp win :T
    How is MM doing? I haven't seen her in ages - I miss her :(

    She's good, and El is walking now. She always sounds so busy so prob just not had as much time to get on here recently. I will tell her you were asking about her though.

    Got two dresses bookmarked that I like, not sure which I prefer :/

    Got a bit of a wedding dilemma now too...OH's mum & stepdad are coming back to the country the week of it, out of the blue, as they're usually away from May til Oct. The problem is, we've invited his dad & stepmum and they have a really really bad relationship with his mum & stepdad, and we don't want them to be in the same room, especially given that the only guests are my parents, bro, sis, OHs dad and stepmum, awkward. Dunno what to do really!

    I vote monsoon :) I would tell ILs in no uncertain terms that there is to be nothing but civil conversation and a pleasant atmosphere and no comments about who has or hasn' been invited as it yours and OH's day which you don't want them spoiling. And if they don't think they can hold their tongues for 1 single day then not to bother going!

    So grandma got results from swab back today and she has chicken pox, which is actually good news as it means the rash is not a new lymphoma. Yey :T (Still has lymphoma and a carcenoma to deal with but at least there's nothing else)

    That's fantastic news on your grandma SJ :D

    It's my night off tonight, but OH just cracked open a beer, so guess it is my night after all, boo, was so gonna have the Koppaberg out of the fridge!

    Right off to order both dresses now, eek! Trying to sort the loft too for the carboot and tomorrows viewing, so will be back and forth!

    Sami Edgar Davids is the cool footballer who used to always wear sunglasses :cool: He's French, so his name sounds super sexy :p

    I googled him :cool:

    I love the look of monsoon one but I agree with GISI you need to try on as they'll look totally different on from a hanger/mannequin.


    Hope you get well soon Tara! xx

    Great news SJ. X

    Another vote for the Monsoon one Gym. XXX Re relatives, invite them all but tell them they are both invited then ignore the rest, I have.

    Just had a pear cider Glam, mmmm.

    And my tumble drier won't work, won't be great after a week on holiday.
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Glam. Amber still has no teeth. She only now has the buds high in her gums. She's doing the sucky teething face but she's been doing that for weeks with nothing happening yet.

    Cut a fairy dress pattern out, now to stitch it up wish me luck!
