Ooooh Choc have you set a date?

The goals sound very good, I wish I could be somewhere near 9 stone . Hoping that my Wii Fit will help!

I am quite excited about the new year as well, this year has had it's ups and downs but overall it wasn't too bad and there is lots to look forward to

Nope, we're so indecisive!!! Can't decide between Christmas 2011 or April 2012.....grrr! Think we're going to have a look at some venues over next couple of weeks and see if that helps us decide either by availablity of those that we like or perhaps seeing something that we love and think 'yes and xmas wedding would be fab here' or....'yes this would be great for a spring wedding'.....decisions decisions!

The wii fit is really good if you keep at it. You have your holiday as a motivation for you....keep thinking of how you want to look on that beach and go for it! I'm with you all the way as need to lose some for wedding obviously!

2011 here we come!!!!

Love the goals Choc - off to put mine on my diary

Good luck finding venues!

I've just ordered 3 pairs of wedding shoes in the sales today! Hopefully one of them will be perfect.

£32, £24 and £22 - so not bad prices!

Happy New Year choc xx

Morning diary land!

Well back to normality and work today. Gone far too quickly and have caught this horrible flu thingy so feeling rotten today

Quick post to start me off -

1. Phone church.
2. Phone venues and book viewings.
3. No spend day
4. Drink lots of water to re-hydrate
5. Eat sensible (not feeling that hungry anyway!)
6. Get as much work done as poss - working from home today.

Nothing major as not feeling up for anything, just a few phonecalls and work. Hopefully this flu thing will ease today, just came on quickly yesterday.

Have a good day all,

Choc xx

Oh my goodness, I go away for 3 weeks and look what happens! CONGRATULATIONS :j what a lovely end to the year, I've got a massive grin on my face now

I'm a teeny bit jealous that you get to do the whole wedding planning thing, I loved doing ours, and I want to do it again (with the same DH obv!)
Useful wedding advice which saved my sanity - no one but you will notice if things go a tiny bit wrong/different to the plan, so don't fuss too much over teeny details, or you'll drive yourself insane! A friend-of-a-friend had a public meltdown on her wedding day over the fact that the tables weren't set the way she wanted - all because they had put the napkins at the wrong angle :eek: I told the hotel that I didn't care about how the tables were laid as long as they looked nice :rotfl:

Otherwise, a wedding spreadsheet is essential, lets you keep track of what's booked, what deposits are paid and when the balances are due etc. Mine had about 6 tabs in the end :rotfl:

Hey Jules!

Happy New Year to you! Only just properly logging back on as came down with this horrible flu thingy and been pretty much bed ridden, made it to the couch today

Thanks for the tips re planning, useful information as so don't want to become Bridezilla! Although OH already has nicknamed me his "Little Zilla"...lol! May I just point out that at the moment I am very calm, taking all in my stride and we pretty much have a date in mind just trying to sort out venues and then we can relax for a few months before we start the other bits i.e. dress, flowers, stationary and so on......list is endless!

The only thing stressing me out is money as I so want to start married life with as little debt as possible but at the same time obviously I have to save/pay for our wedding :eek::eek::eek: That said I have a wonderful OH, family and friends and the support is immense for us as think they've all been waiting for us to do it.....5 years we made them wait :rotfl: Anyhow, we kind of know how we would like the day to be it's just finding the right venue with the right finances etc. We're lucky as my mum and her partner, dad and OH's parents are all contributing to the wedding which makes things a little less stressful on the finance front, we also have savings so hopefully nothing major to add to it all.

Anyhow, need to finish my recovery this weekend and then from Monday it's going to be super organised, money savy Choc!!!!
