    Those shoes are fab Laura!! :D

    Well *this* isn't getting any exercise done is it? I've got my first Race for life this weekend. I should be in tip top condition not sat on my bum on here lol.
  • Curious George- its the disco inferno weekend im looking into and it will be Bognor, I was trying to think of other things but youve helped convince me once again this is what I want!! Can I ask what food you went for as I was going to go for the normal one but am quite fussy- was it ok and was there a variety?


    we just had the normal food, and we had no complaints...
    I had scampi one night, roast chicken dinner.... umm...oh yeah the most fantastic steak pie.
    others with me had curry, lasagne, roast beef, meatballs, fish and chips etc
    there was always a hot pudding and plenty of cakey stuff plus the ice cream factory, fruit etc

    breakfasts they had a cereal, fish, toast, full english etc

    im sure the upgraded food is a bit posher but we are booked in for normal food next time and perfectly happy with it,
    we had SO much fun...hope this helps :D

    Hope you've had a lovely day Emma! :)

    I've been a busy girlie tonight :) I've made three more jars up - and the more I've done the more I'm pleased I bit the bullet and ordered them :) Will start the "Natalie" tomorrow :)

    If I can get them all made by the time I've broken up for the Summer hols (lol no fear there really is there?) then I will spend some time over the summer getting a proper photo of them to put into the wedding album :)

    Oh brilliant LauraR - have you got your eyes on any bridesmaid dresses?

    *edit*
    Ps I lost 1lb this week. Just checked all my measurements - and I've lost 35cm in total. (15.5lbs and 3% fat -hurrah!). A dress I could just about slip up over my hips and get my arms in (but couldn't do the zip up at all) I can now get the zip up - hurrah. (Okay so at the moment I can't move in it - but that will come with time). :)

    Hey Mel- well done on the weight lost- your doing fab. I weighed myself yesterday and had lost 1.5lb but think most of it will go back on as im not being good this weekend- and my oh got my 2 birthday cakes!!:rotfl:But I wanted to weigh myself before this weekend so at least I know my healthy eating is paying off.

    Well ive just been to my mil2bs work as I took my friend who is getting married in Sept and we have decided on the table decs, will be 3 gerberas in a tall glass, ill see if I can find a pic.

    And oh has agreed to go with cupcake deal so im going to a bridal boot fair that she is at to sample her cakes and then will book her in if they are tasty, have already decided on vanilla cupcakes and a chocolate mud cake top (we can either a giant cupcake or a normal cake, i havent decided what to go with yet).

    LauraR- those shoes look lovely, bet your pleased with them.

    Natalie- the jars look fab- so much for doing one a day though!!:rotfl:

    Lol I know!! I have actually spent this morning doing the rest of them pmsl. I'll take some photos tonight i think - not sure what we're doing down the side of the house in terms of patio/paths though so I may just have to wait till closer to the date to take a nice photo - then again I might take one tonight and just redo it if we change the path. :) I am really pleased with them. And the great thing is because I've used PVA glue I can rub it all off (can you remember smearing copydex all over your hands and pealing it off as a kid... or maybe that was just me lol). So I will be able to sell them on afterwards. (Lol hopefully to a non-MSEr for more than I paid for them looking at Ebay costs!) I have 4 large sheets of tissue paper left. Mmm what to do with them. :)

    Well done on losing 1.5lbs this week Emma!! And this weekend's calories don't count :) Not when it's your birthday!! :D So eat and enjoy!! :D
