The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

Haha!!

Woo I tried on my altered wedding dress today yay! It looks nice, but she fitted it so tight around the waist. I better not put on even a pound before the wedding or I'll be like Birdie's friend's BM! Am a bit gutted - I didn't really want to have this weight / body consciousness clouding the run up to the wedding. Oh well, too late now, LOL. Looks like I am joining the Shallenge. Is that what you called it Birdie? Shrallenge? Shreddy steady go!

Dinah93

Is it just me or does calling it the shrallenge make it sound like we've got cocktails in our water bottles?! I'd try to loose a few if you can Lara for comfort, my dress was so tight I couldn't eat and spent most of the wedding meal outside on the fire escape trying not to faint in the heat! I had bruises on my ribs the next day.

N.I.M

They never pinned those bruises on me

Ahhh Cinny!! As you know already, I am BEYOND excited for you!! It's so deserved. I could do with some job hunting luck if there's any going spare!

We've got some 'art' (mass produced!)

Haha, me too. I bought a print from Tesco that I love. My Nan thinks it's like the-worst-thing-ever to have 'art' from Ikea or similar that everyone else has but I don't give a monkey's bum, I like it.

I am WELL up for the Shrallenge! I am fast running out of time before graduation! :eek:

Tete is to blame for calling it the Shrallenge, it is a bit cocktails-in-the-water-bottle though! Don't know what else we could call it (because of course we need an awesome code-name for our challenge!)...

I was adamant that my dress wasn't going to be too tight, the corset was so loose because I refused to let my Mum pull it any tighter as I was scared of overheating! I'd have looked a lot better in it if I'd worn it 'properly' but I wasn't bothered, I was too hot as it was!

Get those paintings hung up Dinah/NIM, and show us pictures! I especially want to see an artistic interpretation of NIM in A&E with a poorly ankle (bad excuse by the way!)

I like that print Zig, if it's something you like to look at who cares how many other people have it?! OH is really funny about prints of places he hasn't seen in person, he really likes the New York ones but won't get one until he's been there so he knows what all the buildings are! Ditto Paris, he doesn't want a picture of the Eiffel Tower until he's climbed it!

Had my girls round for chilli and tons of garlic bread last night, it was lovely as we haven't seen each other in ages for one reason or another, but I kept OH awake with my 'garlic stench'! As I left he'd opened the bedroom window and was spraying Fabreeze everywhere! :rotfl:

I love pictures, I've got a couple of myself and OH from hols, wedding ones of my mum and dad blown up to 10 x 8 going up the staircase wall and like your friend Birdie, pictures from Jamaica in the bathroom and also framed postcards.

Not sure what to do in the new house though as don't want it to just look like my house IYKWIM. Might add a pic of OH's mum and dad's wedding and ours to the staircase wall. They are all in black and white so look great.

LOL at Lara with shreddy steady go! Hope your dress isn't too tight, that's my fear that I put on weight between my fitting and the wedding, eek!

I have to say, I love it when people fill their homes with photos of them with their families and partner. Like when people will just have a table in a room totally littered with family portraits or holiday snaps. I don't mind smoochy ones either, it's just sweet!! I have loads of pictures of me and OH dotted around so I can't judge. I have a photobook full of them too, there's one of us in 2005 when I had dreadlocks and OH had really long hair. I want to get that one framed but OH hates it so it's a no go! Found this picture of my dreadlocks last week actually, my hair was pretty neat!

But I want to get one of those photo clocks and fill it with photos of friends and family. Mainly so I can go "Ooh, it's Nannan to Matt!"

Swinstie - I'd say put a couple up of your OH's family too. The wedding one sounds nice

I quite like Shrallenge! Either that or 'Why the f*ck did I agree to this sh*t I can't walk up the bloody stairs anymore'-enge. Or to make it a little quicker WTFDIATTSICWUTBSAenge. I just need to remember to put my iPod on when Jillian starts talking. I hate it on level one when she purrs 'This is eeeasssyyy for yooouuuu' First of all, no it's not. Secondly, why do you sound like you're trying to seduce me?!

Birdie85

Will have to have a look at the dreadlocky picture tonight Cinny! Your love of tables full of photos has just given me a major flashback to my Nana's living room! She had an ugly 70s sideboard absolutely heaving with photos of about 5 generations of her family, every time there was a new baby she had to squeeze another picture frame in there, it was brilliant!

I love the idea of a photo clock and telling the time by people! What time is it? Connie o'clock!

Hmmm I think that WTFDIATTSICWUTBSAenge isn't really that catchy TBH! I just kind of block Jillian's odd sayings out, usually I can't hear over over my dying anyway! She does have some funny facial expressions though, like she's reallllllly enjoying her workout! :eek:

Tete_en_l'Air

Ah Lara you'll be fine, esp if you join in with the Shrallenge

I can't see the dread pic either Cinny unfortunately...

Three Peaks Challenge is tomorrow *wibble*

Birdie85

Ooooh exciting Tete! Are you travelling up tonight? Eeep I'm so excited for you but a little nervous about our girl wandering around on mountain tops in the dark! Are work giving you all the day off free to do it?
