July 2012 Brides and Grooms

I know that when I get my dress I am going to want to keep looking at it, so am storing it at my parents house.

I have no idea what we are going to do about a guest list, as feel cheeky mentioning it. However, my family will expect me to say something with the invites, so will prob put in a money poem with it.

Today I met up with the haridresser/make-up artist that let me down last week. She is really nice and listened to what I wanted and then gave me some more ideas. I think she would be really good, but the fact that she let me down is still weighing on my mind. Don't know what to do?

Judobird (sorry if youve told us your name- Ive forgotten if you have)- my dress is a lace up corset underneath and then buttons on top so even more of a mission to try on, hence why I dont try it on every time I take a peek (although it is so hard resisting!!)

Tracey- I think I would personally raise these doubts with her and see how she responds.

At the moment I'm under budget by £43.35... lol but I have gone over on our underwear, and my flowers. (Some of the flowers will be sold on so I can recoup some of the costs and hopefully get back under budget). But for what I've spent, getting bargains and things I've actually managed to save us £316.94 :T

I agree with Emma, tell her that you're worried she may let you down again Tracey and see what she says/does to reassure you. If she is blase about your concerns then perhaps look elsewhere. BUT it's great that she was able to listen to you and give you some other options to consider.

(Well I woke up in a much better mood today, and one of my Year 2 boys gave me a hug so that made me smile).

What a weekend! Feel like I haven't stopped. Teaching all day Friday, pulling pints Friday night, first day in Boots yesterday and back in the pub serving Sunday lunches today!! Chinese takeaway tonight though so not all bad (though we ordered far too much and have tons left!!). Been drinking Pimms and lemonade too (want it as arrival drinks on the big day but h2b had never had it before so sent him to buy a bottle when I was at work - he has agreed to having it now!!

TAKE THAT in 2 days :j:j Excited!!! :dance: Time to ask the bridesmaids too! Hope they say yes!!

Anyhows......hope everyone else has had a good weekend.xx

We are having Pimms too Enjoy Take That!!

My biggest problem when it comes to food is planning and organising it. Pre-Diet I would come home from school tired, stuff my face with chocolate & diet coke sitting on the sofa waiting for MrD to come home... he'd come home and then we'd start talking about what we fancied for tea - the convo would go something along the lines of... "what do you want for tea?" "dunno/don't care".... an hour later "what do you want for tea?" "dunno"... another hour later "I can't be bothered to cook shall we get a take out?". We'd get up to 5 takeaways a week :S!! It's a slippery slope for me

HAHAHA that sounds so familiar!!

Oooo just tried Silk Stocking body tint from Lush - it is the most subtlest fake tan I've seen but I'm loving it!! Now I have two options depending on how brave I feel - go bare legged with this (but will have to check it's non-rub-off-ness) or wear the toeless tights I've got. lol NOT that my current bar of Silk Stockings is possibly going to last a whole year and 1 month!!

I was looking at that for this summer, is it easy to use? I generally have no patience with fake tan!

It seems to be - I did have to really rub it in though to get it even and not streaky. It is a wash off one though - I'm going to test my sheets tonight and have a shower in the morning so I can see what the rubbing off effect is like. But I am really liking the colour of it. And the smell is waaaaay nicer than every other fake tan product I've used!!

Just woken up from my second Wedding Related Dream/Nightmare!! (I can't remember what the first one was but I remember telling you all about it). Anyway this one was horrid, because ALL of MrD's family turned up to the ceremony!! I was peeved because my family had respected our wishes and only my immediate family came. I felt that they were missing out. Then to top it off I was running really late - it was already 4:30 when I arrived at the registry office - and I hadn't got dressed/done my hair or make up! (Ceremony is at 2:00). And as if all that wasn't bad enough -MrD's family decided to hold a reception in a night club straight after and they were fretting it was going cold. Lol I sincerely hope all three doesn't happen on the day!!

Judobird

Lol that does sound like a nightmare!

My name is Tracy (without an e).

I've never tried fake tan or anything like that, I was counting on winning the lottery and getting a holiday before the wedding... (wishful thinking...)

Hi guys!! TAKE THAT last night were AWESOME!!!!! :-) Full of cold today though! Totally shattered too because got to bed around 2 and was up at 7 for work! All worth it though! Asked my bridesmaids to be bridesmaids and they all said yes!! They seemed really chuffed and didn't expect it!

Gift List - What we'd like is money to go towards our honeymoon but feel so cheeky asking so maybe we just won't say anything and hope people will give money??!! It would be nice to get a few gifts too.

Wedding day underwear - I really want knickers with my new surname on the back?! Cheesy though??

Natalie - I remember you've lost a lot of weight? How did you do it? I'm desperate to lose but really struggling. Tried weight watchers but for some reason I really struggled.
