Well so far, I have the dress, the shoes, and the underwear (my something blue). I've sort of worked out how I'm going to have my hair. Hopefully I'm going to have white orchids for my bouquet.
I've also had quotes for a wedding band to be made for me, as my engagement ring is a cluster of diamonds that make a flower shape (similar to the picture but the band on mine is plain white gold)
SO excited! :j
I'm excieted too, on your behalf :j:j:jTo those with kids~~ do you make homemade ice lollies for them? if so where do you / did you buy the mould from, and what is a reasonable price for 6 or 8.
Would you like me to find you the HM lollies thread

HM lolliesI got my moulds from Lakeland, but it was ages ago before their prices went :eek:

Hi, I got my lolly moulds from lakeland or ebay - can't quite remember.
I make lollies with smoothie, fruit juice, yoghurt, angel delight or a strong squash mix. The kids prefer magnums though
Hugs to you AnW'smum. Hope today was bearable for you all.
Hugs to all who need them, and to all who have jobs at risk or are looking for jobs (it's such hard work and not nice getting turned down).
I have planted out my salad plants in the trough, put lots of slug pellets down, watered the garden, sprayed the greenfly on my rose, emptied the bins, stripped one of the bunk beds, done 2 lots of washing and got them in again (all nice and dry in the sun), made extra salad today so lunches are sorted tomorrow (potato salad, cold pasta pesto, chopped red pepper, tomato etc).
Will do other bunk bed tomorrow and then go to mum's tomorrow and plant the tomato and bean plants out (she has a much bigger garden than us)... might have to pop to the garden center on the way home too as I want a big pot to try carrots and need more compost too if I can carry it
... or might pop to asda as they have some nice comfy looking sandals online and I wanna try them on.

They're meant to be suitable for organic gardening and not harmful to pets or kids - which means they probably won't work, they just look like gravelworking on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0
