July 2012 Brides and Grooms

PinkPrincess83

Wanchai- :jat it being 7 months today! Since the year countdown started it seems to be going very quickly- im not usually one to wish my life away but I just want it to be July 2012 now!

Wanchai- I think you should go for it! If you want bits being tweaked you will be able to have them changed as it goes along.

:j :j :j :j :j :j - Phew, Wanchai has decided to have a dress made! Now just to choose which one. :rotfl:


The way things are going weight wise for me i shall be wearing the first dress i brought as it is a size too big!! (this was the 'not so bridal' grecian style dress) I seriously have to get my 'think slim' head on before i do any more damage.

I have had a weird few days and not really been wedding focused at all - The all girls school i work for has been merged with the all boys school that is next door to us. That happened in November and we have been awaiting the new staffing structure as we are running with double staff for this school year then it will all change. My position can only have 1 person so i thought i would be head to head with someone of 20 years experience *gulp* that is doing my job next door but i'm not!! Phew and yay . . . the other woman has been given a different job title and therefore she cannot be in the running for my current position so i automatically get it! Due to the huge amount of extra work involved with taking on a further 800 students i will get a newly created assistant as well. So i am pleased for me, selfish i know, but i am also sad for my 2 best friends who's jobs won't exsist anymore. This will mean possible redundancy for them.

I know, it will be very exciting to be there for all the stages of the dressmaking process, I have all fingers crossed!

Needless to say, I am very relieved to have decided on a dress. I've been swooning over the blog dress for months and it's very 'me', hopefully it will be fab!

I've also been VERY good this week - been to the gym twice so far and am eating well. I soooo need to lose this weight in the next 7 months - I'm not going to get a second chance to wear my lovely dress, so am determined not to look like a heffalump in it! :rotfl:

Weigh in day for me will be Monday - that will encourage me to be good at the weekend. Although someone suggested Friday WI as it has the same effect! Thoughts?

Oh, that is such a relief for you. Sad for your friends too though, and it's nice of you to think of them xx

i hope this link works. My Grecian dress is picture2. I brought it as soon as i got engaged as originally i didn't want a big wedding dress!! It has lovely sparkle under the bust, the pic doesn't do it justice. Its a deep cream colour and hangs well over my bumps. I would need some super miracle underwear though!

Oh - I love it! The draping on the bodice is fabulous. :A Miracle underwear is all good - that's what it's for! :rotfl:

What's your other dress and why do you have 2? xx

Don't go getting any ideas!

:rotfl: :rotfl:

I already have my standby dress though, so I *will* have 2!

Oh Lord, I want something chocolatey but I am so proud of myself for resisting... but how long till the sugar cravings go away????

Just read this btw, hopefully I am going to be happier as well as thinner lol: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2073667/The-Happiness-Diet-How-new-weight-loss-plan-promises-tackle-mood-waistline.html

Forgot about your Monsoon dress lol. Okay - no more than 2 dresses :P

I've just dragged my body through an exercise DVD - I'm shattered today though - today has been really draining (well the afternoon was). Have just had my yoghurt and now I'm umming and ahhing over whether to have a quick game of poker or have a nap lol.

wanchai_2

Good for you!!! You should have a nap, it's cheaper! :rotfl:

I'm pleasantly achy from the gym at lunchtime and feeling all virtuous. I'm cooking dinner for a friend this evening, no idea what to make but need to use up some lean steak mince. Any ideas apart from spag bol/chilli??? It doesn't matter if it's not that healthy, I'll be having a smaller portion.
