Where in Dorset did you stay Bruno?

Thanks Scruffy, all good here. XXX Ben loves the power washer, I on the other hand don't like him having it, I get wet!

Hi Elle, how are you all? I see Rhys is getting really 'big'. (according to him)

Here, Tara (just on the same path as Thomas Hardy's cottage, quite randomly). I liked.

Sooo big, indeed In fact, I didn't mention it the other day but he's actually finally reached a centile line - albeit the 0.4th one! - for length (at his corrected age)

A bit sneezy here unfortunately.. Rhys is better than he was but now OH has gone it bad (apparently ).

Oh dear, but his will be a different, much worse strain though I expect! :cool:

SJ (or anyone) do you know where I can get a tin for making a large, centrepiece cupcake? I want to make a big one (say 6" diameter) then make smaller ones to go round it.

you mean like this?
http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=313730
(it's cheaper on amazon but for some reason I can't link it)
or there is a plasticy one on amazon too that's cheaper but MSE won't let me link to it either?? search for the store moobarb or just giant cupcake mould/tin

Hobbycraft also sell smaller version http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=313805
Looks fab here http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51pwd-yKjEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

See I do want a bit of traditional sitting down at pretty tables with close friends and family, I just CBA with a big formal meal, and the hotel said we had to pay extra if we wanted the meal served to the tables cos they wanted to servie it as a buffet which I couldnt see working? How am I meant to fill my plate with food when I have a big dress on? Which is why I thought a nice afternoon tea type thing might work instead! And it should be cheaper too. Just need to find a venue that will let us do it, we were going with the Holiday Inn but they wont let us have a BBQ. Barstards!

I waitressed at many a hot buffet/carvery weddings and we always served the top table first (as in we asked what they wanted and brought it to them) then the guests were told to come up and queue table by table.
We also did BBQ's :cool: it was a private golf club so maybe see if there's one near you?
The best thing IMO about the one I worked at was that we had a posh changing room upstairs the bride could use that so she didn't have to try n squeeze into the function room toilets in a big dress and could get changed into a party dress later if she wanted.

Tara I was thinking and might be good for when you meet the organist (unless that's already happened?) If you are struggling for music to walk out etc why not just get the organist to play your hymns again?
