    Boo to boring work restricting your MSE access, Dinah! What's wrong with them?!

    Have a brilliant hen weekend Lara, hope everyone enjoys themselves, but especially you :D

    Dinah, hope your dinner goes well tonight and how lovely to take florist flowers! Here are some places that I think would be perfect stockists for you. I was going to PM you, but thought others might like a little browse :)

    I can honestly see it happening like Tete's friend, one day she'll be like, 'Oh, by the way, we're married now falala'

    :rotfl:Haha, that's exactly how I imagine it!

    Me and OH are babysitting today and this weekend and OH is being so cute! He will make a great dad someday :smileyhea

    You know when you know piece of music and adore it but don't know what it is? Well I had that but now I know it because it's been on Radio 1 a lot lately! I Giorni - it's beautiful :)

    I'm after Highbeam with the Glamour mags so I hope I can get hold of one. I have tons of Benetint already for some reason - I'm not a huge fan to be honest. Don't reckon I'm using it properly though! :o

    Have an amazing hen do Lara, I'm sure everyone will be relaxed and it will be great. Rather you than me on the karaoke though! I also love your dress! And the one Poddle posted. Yay for DOTD! :D

    Hope the dinner goes well tonight, are you still dieting?

    Lol always. I've lost 11lbs since the start of the year, which makes me a little less terrified of mirrors, but not back to my wedding weight yet. Its a bit slow going, but I'm trying to make a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix diet. Would love to loose another half a stone (well I'd love a stone but I'm trying that realism thing on for size) before New York.

    You're a complete star thank you, will have a look over the weekend. Need to be really focussed this weekend and just hammer away at the business. That said I'm kind of running on empty, so I'm going to make sure I set aside some relaxing time too or I might have a bit of a breakdown soon.

    Work is letting me post today - yey!

    Ebay has blocked me from selling as people rated me only 4/5 stars for speed of shipment, despite me saying I post once a week in all my listings. Today they sent NIM an email restricting him too, as they think he's me! So now I'm panicing they're tracking my IP or something as I listed 3 bits on mums ebay last night, but using my paypal, and she'll skin me alive if they block her account.

    2 spammer kn0bheads in the space of an hour... the mods are going to be sick of me reporting them! :)

    Bit odd that ebay have blocked a 4-star rating... I'd have thought that it still isn't that bad really, especially if you state you only post once a week, although I tend to stay away from people who only post on *Tuesday* if I want to buy something on a *Wednesday*, I hate waiting ages for my stuff!

    11lbs is loads, but if you're still not back to your wedding weight, that must have been some honeymoon haha! :D

    Ditto Birdie, 4/5 is still good surely - what's the point in a five star system if it's so black and white?

    I reported one, didn't see the second, must only take for a couple of people to press it for it to be removed?

    Btw did I miss Cinny announcing she's enagaged?! I read her green wedding dress post (and the lovely loo roll dress) and flipped back a few pages looking for it but maybe I missed it? Huge congratualtions if so hon

    Oh no, you didn't! I think Birdie is just missing out on Wedding talk, so we started fancying mine up :D But like Birdie and Zig say, chances are it'll be really low key and I'll just pop on one day and announce it! You all know me too well just from the internet I swear :o But Lara, that dress is stunning!

    Good luck with the dinner tonight, flowers are always a lovely touch IMHO!

    But oh Dinah, I feel so glum when you talk about weight. Just to think how horrified you'd be if you woke up in my body suddenly one morning :rotfl: I do have the pleasure of owning one very squishy belly! And it's crazy you've been blocked for a 4/5 star rating, like seriously?! That's a friggen good rating! eBay are confusing tiddlers.

    I'll admit, I quite like the idea of a COTD :D I'll offer up one little gem I saw on holiday, I named her Ethelbert she was only £395 and I was *this* close to convincing my Dad she'd be an awesome little project for our family but the next day she'd be sold! My poor little Ethelbert, I would have made her so pretty. She was this lovely pistachio green colour. But our love was not meant to be :( Had a little visit from the scrap fairy though so I'm £60 the richer. One of the skills I'm very pleased my Dad passed down to me was how to sort metals for scrap! Maybe not the classiest thing, but it's good money for getting a little dusty.

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :D

    And mine! I'm fairly sure that she'd fall over backwards with the weight of my bottom! OH laughs his head off when he sees me moving around as I use my bum as my centre of gravity... and back into things a$$-first! :rotfl:

    Oh how lovely is Ethelbert!!! Have you had a lovely holiday, scrap sorting aside? :)
