July 2012 Brides and Grooms

Training Run 8: Today's was just a short one 3.21K (2m). Because it was a short one we decided to go for a faster pace - I agreed that I'd try to keep between 5 and 6 mins a k apart from when we ran up Keddington Hill and then I'd aim for between 6 and 7 mins a k. Anyway the wind out there is bloody horrid to run against (according to Accuweather we can be experiencing up to 87km/h wind gusts). BUT despite that I still managed to do what we set out to do Managed to do it in 19m 17 secs
Now for my lunch!!


Weddingy stuff: I am in the middle of going over all my tealights jars with tissue paper again - will see if the PVA glue seeps through it and makes it see-through again, if it does I'll wait till a few days before the wedding and apply another layer (I didn't put any more glue on - just used the stickiness of last time I did it to hold the paper on).

Emma - I agree with Melanie - I would get another seamstress. I can't stand people (companies) who don't respond to emails - even if it's to say they are too busy to reply and will get back in touch.

Melanie - definitely rest your achilles!! In fact I think you should sit with it up on the sofa all day and get waited on hands and foot.

Melanie and Natalie- I am going to find a new seamstress. I did wonder at first whether she was ignoring my emails as she had probably got some of the spam ones sent out, but because these dont have titles I cant believe she would keep ignoring them. I will ask around I think and go on recommendations.

Oh Melanie, that does sound so painful. Keep resting.

Well done on the run today Natalie.

Ive made some homemade soup- lets home I dont end up wearing it!!

Hi everyone sorry I haven't been around much, I have just been trying to get back into work routines I think i need to really try and organise how I am going to spend my time (and give up tv, lol) to get this wedding planned properly...

PinkPrincess83

July bride- how is your planning going? I saw your carboot bargains- well done, they sound fab, and very mse.

MrsDrink

Tasha - if it's any consolation I was thinking the same earlier too and I'm super-duper organised. I think it's very normal to have panicky thoughts about fitting it all in. I just keep telling myself at the end of the day as long as we are married then the rest will pale into insignificance. I am trying to do as much as I can do now though so it's not all left to the last minute Just incase something pops up unexpected that takes more of my time. The next thing on my list of things to do is to take MrD to a jewellers next Saturday lunchtime and get him measured and get him to make a decision about what he wants. Then when I've been paid (a week on Tuesday) I can order it - hurrah!

I'm sat watching some Don't Tell The Bride on iPlayer

(I tried on my ring again today - I cannot wait till it's sat on my finger permanently!!)

Series 1 episode 5 - Vu and Naomi - castle wedding (he drove from Leicester to Dover to look at a venue lol).

That is sad about your eternity ring. But just think - when you have a daughter ( ha no pressure) then you can give it to her to wear

PinkPrincess83

Oh I dont reckon Ive seen that one, I didnt watch many of the first series I dont think. Is it a good one?

I hadnt thought of that, I may well do that. ALthough oh is adament if we have a baby he wants a boy, and im adament I would want a girl!! (although we both know full well as long as we are lucky enough to be able to have a baby we would be extremley happy with either)

MrsDrink

Well if you have a boy you could always give your eternity ring to him to give to his girlf

The DTTB episode is the one where he designs her dress with a dress maker.
