    So is Jack now the oldest baby with no teeth? :(

    DD1 didnt get any teeth until 11 1/2 months (many yrs ago!) I had begun to worry that they would never come :D

    Really like the FC one but think the Monsoon one looks more weddingy:):)

    Got my bike seat fitted for LO and she hates it! just sat her in it and she screamed and screamed - we hadnt even moved! on the plus side Im going to cycle to work as we have major roadworks causing disruption here so at least it will hide my asre while im cycling:rotfl:

    Thanks :) I'm swaying toward the Monsoon one too, but might order both and see how they look. I've put on weight lately and am resigned to being a fat bride, and thought the French Connection one might be more flattering with my massive boobs :/ Hmm.

    OH hasn't told his dad that his mum is invited yet, as he only see's him once in a blue moon and can't be bothered ringing him to discuss it!! I emailed his mum to tell her that OHs dad and stepmum will be there and she's not got back to me. I'm only really bothered because I know his stepdad will have a go about my siblings being there and OHs not being invited..but if we invited them it'd get out of hand with step siblings/partners etc..couldn't really care less about them being there and seething at one another, as I'll be too busy getting wed!

    Aless- I love your latest pics of Finn on FB.

    Bruno- if you're around how is Mrs Bruno getting on with BFing E at the moment? I've been thinking about her this week (in a non-weirdo way, of course).

    I love the Monsoon one too, although think it's a good idea to order them both as dresses can look so different on.

    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 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!

    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
