Pbny24 - your name cards sound lovely. Are you typing your names to go on them or writing them? I'm not sure how we'd be able to print ours on our budget, but we won't do them for a while yet (one of the 21 tasks schedule for May! ).

I got the card from PDA, cheap but good quality, and tried one through our printer but it got stuck, so going to use a thick pen to write names on when we get the RSVPs through. Although looking for a nice stencil too instead of my handwriting! Might look into printing off a nice font and craft knife round it to make a stencil.The ribbon was from the range £1 for 3m. If I hadn't pressed the flowers the ribbon was nice on it's own too

4 SLEEPS! Only 4 bloody sleeps!

Hi everyone!!! Sorry I have been away so long .

I have been feeling majorly overwhelmed with all the planning and felt like I couldn't even face talking about it on here . I've had almost no support from anyone - seems like mum and OH went through a wee phase of not being arsed with it and I felt like I was on my own with it all.

Anyway...I had a chat with OH and I'm feeling a bit more positive about it all now. Haven't had the guts to bring it up with mum yet though.

So I'm back to catch up with you all!

Just off to read the last few pages of posts so I can get an idea of where you are all at! Xx

Oh my goodness! Moving house, new peeps, invitations being sent, RSVP's arriving, jewellery being bought, dresses being bought, songs and readings being chosen!! Phew! What busy bees you all are!

Since I have been away wallowing in my black hole of wedding woes (hahahaha, I am so dramatic!) I have..

Designed my invites
Booked hotel rooms for family and close friends
Bought petticoats for BMs
Just about chosen a first dance song (we think)
Chosen one of our reading - a traditional Irish blessing to be read by one of my close friends (OH comes from an Irish family)
Ordered a dress for my flower girl (not sure if she will approve as she is a very style conscious 5 year old, but fingers crossed she will love it!)

...I think that's it - still loads to do though!

I put on half a pound this week - I'm back up to 10st. *cries* :(:(:(

I know that eating out on Saturday night contributed to it, and it may also be explained by increased muscle from exercising more, but damn it, I am so upset. I just have to stay on the wagon - nothing else for it!

Hi Rachel and welcome back :A, sorry to hear that you've been feeling like that I can relate, so feel free to pm me anytime if you want to chat xxx

Right, instead of feeling sorry for myself I'm going to go for a long walk

lovecake

Thanks wanchai! Enjoy your walk - half a pound will come off in no time!

wanchai_2

I did thanks! I find walking on my own quite boring but I took my phone with me and rang a friend for a chat so it was fine! I went for about an hour's walk - must keep up the exercise as diet alone clearly isn't enough!!! I am utterly determined to get down to 9st in time for this wedding!

Hey everyone

Well Ive been out for the evening visiting my friend and her 2 week old baby- he is adorable!

Goodluck Jem, cant wait to see your pics.

:j on your rings being ready to collect and that you can collect them Sat.

Rachel- I was thinking to myself last night that you had gone quiet. Glad to see your back, and you know that if you ever need someone to talk to about your plans etc we are all more than happy to hear them. I feel that some days my mum interested and some days oh doesnt seem that keen to discuss wedding ideas/ plans, but then I come on hear and talk talk talk about my plans and feel much better for it!:D
