Biscuitmad - I'm super impressed by the sound of you making your seven cakes - are they going to be tiered? I wouldn't fancy balancing that lot!

Everyone else's food intake sounds very well-behaved - maybe that's why you're all shifting the pounds and i'm not. It seems like I'm either doing well in one area or another. Working, studying, keeping the house together, attempting to keep in touch with family & friends, wedding planning and exercising/eating well is pretty time-consuming! Excuses, excuses...

On the plus side, I have made tomorrow's very healthy Italian vegetable stew in advance tonight, so I can finish it off quickly tomorrow before body balance class.

Hi

No they are not going to be tiered as we are getting married an hour away from home and don't trust oh to drive them there safely so have got two stands from eBay for them will up load pic when they are made.

:j about the invites almost ready to go out Laura. Hows that gorgeous little girl of yours doing?

Firstly heres my not so good food for the day!
Breakfast: Golden syrup porridge with semi skimmed milk
Snacks: 2 plums, actimel 0.1% yoghurt drink
Lunch: shapers tikka flatbread and shapers onion rings
Dinner (we went to ohs mums): spag bol, 2 slices of garlic bread and some apple pie and custard! (not good I know!)

But, I no longer have roots!:D
And, even better news- shes started on my flowers and so far I LOVE them! She has done my flower girl wand, which is fab, she has used a dark pink gerbera head and then wired in little pink roses (so the gerbera is like a base and you just see the tips of the leaves), and it has diamantes and pearls and little pink butterflies with pink and ivory ribbons, and she has started the bridesmaid bouquets and they look fab, there is 3 ivory gerberas and then foam roses with pearls and diamates and then some clear crystal kind of thing flowers, Im terrible as describing them but I am so pleased with them!:D

MrsDrink

they sound fab Emma, lol can't wait to see photos of them but know that may be not until August .

Well I'm on a bit of a bad run food wise. So that's why I haven't been writing what I've been eating lol don't want to give any of you any bad ideas!!

P.S.
I've just been nosey on Thomas Cook's website - and if I was to book our honeymoon today it would be £325 more than when we booked it :T

OOOh they sound gorgeous. I too would love to see photo's but I assume we all have to wait until at least after the honeymoon!! :rotfl:

Me too, lets hang our heads in shame and say no more about it. (I secretly keep telling myself at least i have lost some in the last year just only half of what i wanted to, and you have had an amazing loss in previous years so it all counts!!) :A

Still waiting to here from the agency about our reference. My line manager only received the fax this morning and thats 6 days after we paid for the reference. Grrrr :mad: Do they not realise i have TV and BT subscriptions to cancel and every day they mess about i'm having to pay.

So to cheer myself up I have talked H2B in to letting me post my day invites out this weekend :T:j:T:j then i can join you all on the long wait for RSVP's!

Question: if you know your best friend can't make it as she will be diving in the Great Barrier Reef on her own honeymoon (for a month!!!!!!) should i still send her an invite?

PinkPrincess83

Once they are all done I will try and get some photos, although they may be emailed over or something to you, Ill have to see how well I get on with attempting to put them online! They do look fab though!

Weigh in this morning, I managed to lose half a pound, so was happy with that. A loss is still a loss.:) Someone has cakes here today so Im trying to resist. I may allow myself a jaffa cake bar, but am trying to resist because Im babysitting tonight and my sister always has loads of goodies at her house!

:j at sending out your invites this weekend. Hopefully the refences will be sorted out very soon and you will be moved into your new homes very soon.

MrsDrink

Emma - well done on the loss!!

Well last night I had another bizzare dream, the short version is I was driving home and behind me in the queue was a horse and carriage and a funeral car. Well as I got onto our road I realised they were following me, then they overtook and parked up outside our house, and I remember screaming Noooo at the top of my lungs (In my dream's head it meant something awful had happened to Mark). But the bizzare thing was I woke up within my dream and reassured myself that it was only a dream. I don't ever remember having a dream about a dream before.

:T yaaaaaaay for being allowed (ha) to send your day invites out - getting RSVPs is exciting! (So far we've had 3 yeses, 3 nos, and 1 'he'll probably come for a bit but then sod off to the pub' lol. To be honest I haven't been too upset over the nos... I just tell myself it'll be less people to try to cram into our house. At the moment we're not giving their places out to anyone else, but we'll reassess that at a later date.
And as for your best friend - no don't send an invite - infact tell her she is a complete cow. NOT because she will be missing your wedding, but because I am in total awe and jealousy that she's a) off diving for a month and b) she's off to the bloomin great barrier reef - that just is not fair or just and she doesn't deserve to see your wonderful invites :rotfl:. Seriously though - I would probably send her one just so she knows had she been here she'd be invited (she would already know that but you know what I mean) plus I want as many people as possible to ooo over my invites!

PinkPrincess83

Natalie- thats a very bizarre dream. I so regularly dream that my teeth fall out that I now dream within a dream and in my dream wake up reassuring myself I still have all my teeth!!:rotfl:

I havent had any more rsvps, so far I think we have confirmed guests!

Todays food:
Breakfast:golden syrup porridge with semi skimmed milk
Snacks: nectarine and plum and 0.1% yoghurt drink
Lunch: beef broth
Snack: I gave in and had a jaffa cake bar
Dinner: A proper chicken kiev, some potatoes and veg

Lets just hope I can resist snacks at my sisters, although I do have about 200 cals left!

:jReferences are in and clear!!!!!!!!:j

So at least now i can cancel things and confirm dates to the removal company etc. Feel better now i know its in the bag.

I am quite excited too as H2B is forwarding his mail for 6 months (you have to have an application for each surname, so we have to do 1 each) and he is going to put Mrs C on his for any future married post. I'm a saddo i know.

No more dreams for me but i heard somewhere that dreaming about teeth is actually about money. Losing teeth is being worries about losing money somewhere, and new teeth is a windfall. So here's hoping tonight we all get to dream about a full set of dentures!!! :rotfl:

I am having a few nightmares though about the things i still have to make for the wedding like my favors, and getting a cake and most importantly getting into the dress
