Hi everyone!

Wanchai and babyboots, I do zumba once or twice a week and it's one of them where the first few times you feel useless because you have to pick up the steps - stick with it though, do the bits you can do and for the rest of it just jog about and try and move your arms right, you'll soon pick it up! It took me about 8 classes before I felt reasonably confident with the moves, and even now I'm rubbish when she brings in a new song! I don't think I'd enjoy it as much if I went on my own though - I'd def say go with a friend so you can laugh at each other!

Babyboots, I've never know sparkly eyeshadow to make your eyelids look wrinkly - if anything I would say it will add a bit of a glow. You could try and find a similar shade in a more pearl effect?

I'm going to be meeting my bargain florist tomorrow so will have to start looking at what I might want when I get back from the gym.

I've also got an interview on Monday so need to find the time to sort that out and find an outfit, I've been making do with all my old clothes which are slightly too big and look a bit scruffy, but iot looks like I'll have to splash out. Do you reckon it's acceptable these days to wear a smart outfit that isn't a suit to an interview? e.g. nice trousers, blouse/top and smart cardi? Or should I do the traditional thing and buy a suit?

Will read and reply more later if I get a chance - I have no timeat the min! Off the the gym now for combat

xx

Oooh, good luck with the interview!!!! :j Your outfit sounds fine - I wouldn't buy a suit!

Ha ha, none of my friends would come with me to Zumba, so I got fed up asking and went on my own! I'd rather have company but I got chatting to a couple of girls and they were lovely. The class itself was good! I couldn't keep up with some of more intricate moves but did just keep jumping/moving about, at least I kept my heart rate up! Am going to try to go once a week until the wedding

Have you an idea of the flowers that you'd like, or can we help? xx

Evening everyone!!

Im shattered! I need a nice early night I think! I was so tired this afternoon, but I was good and dragged myself to the gym!!

I have arranged to finish at 4.30 on Monday so I can go and pay the balance of the registry office and get my passport form signed, then Ill get that sent straight off.

Mel- good luck with the interview. I think as long as your smart it doesnt matter if you arent wearing a suit.

Witnesses- Im having my oldest sister (my other 2 sisters are bridesmaid so it was my way of including her, plus her little one is my flowergirl) and I dont know who oh is having. It was meant to be his friend, but friend has been promoted to best man so Im not sure if he will still have him, or if he will have someone else.

SKS :j on booking your honeymoon, Ive been to centre parcs twice and had a brilliant time but stays.

Emma - congrats on going to the gym again, you really are inspiring!!! :T

Hmm, am seriously considering having our mums as witnesses now, will speak to OH.


Natalie - I am so excited for you about your passport xxx

smithkinson

We are having MoH and best man (BM is bridesmaid not best man isn't it?!) as our witnesses. They're the only wedding party and it's their only real job.

Sorted my hen do today. I really like to go all in when trying to cross a task off the list huh? :j :j

wanchai_2

Yes, BM usually means bridesmaid

Ooh, great news about your hen do! What's it going to be? x

Still writing my OOS! I'm going to continue it tomorrow, I'm tired lol. Got another RSVP this evening, it's so exciting!!!!

Going to buy OH's shoes tomorrow

MrsDrink

And I have just added some sports gear baggage as well.

Soooo excited!! 3 months today and we'll be jetting off to the sun!!

wanchai_2

Ahhh, bet you can't wait! :beer:

11 weeks and 2 days till our wedding, OMG that's so close! Under 80 days now!

wanchai_2

Just been wedding-stuff shopping, I am soooo productive at the minute!!!!

We went to M&S and got OH's shoes, they are so smart. http://www.marksandspencer.com/Collezione-Leather-Square-Gibson-Shoes/dp/B004EMV10S?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_4&nodeId=61848031&sr=1-4&qid=1335445753


Then I went to BHS to use my 25% off voucher and got these two veils!

Just £45!!! (lace edged, elbow length - click on the link for a bigger pic)http://www.bhs.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/657634/230310




And... £30!!!! (plain, chapel length)



I'm going to take both to the shop and try them on with my dress. So exciting! And such a bargain! :beer: :beer:

PinkPrincess83

SKS- what are you doing for your hen do?

Well Im not going to the gym, havent felt great all day so have mostly slept all day. I have filled out my passport form :j ready to take for signing on Monday, Ill have to get my photos done tomorrow.

Wanchai- your ohs shoes are very nice, I think my ohs are similar, just less holes for the laces, but shape wise his are like that. He got them ages and ages ago and they have just sat in the bag in his shoe box, so I made him get them out when he went suit shopping and I think he realised they will be perfect with his suit. Wanchai- both veils are lovely, I guess it just depends which one goes better with your dress etc.

FutureCooper

92 days to go! Getting excited again. (still comes and goes).

Just packed my bag for Center Parcs this weekend. It's mine and my mates work joint hen weekend. We work together and have the same close group of mates so we have a 3 bed exec lodge booked. Never been before and I'm really looking forward to it. We have booked Aqua, line dancing and Zumba. Not all at once though! Straight to our Spa session tomorrow night. If I'm this excited about a weekend I'll be beside myself for the honeymoon!!

Happy weekend ladies x

BabyBoots

Wanchai - your hair idea sounds fab.

Silaqui - good luck with the interview. I think if the outfit flatters you it doesn't matter if it's a suit or not. If it make you smile when you put it on, it's probably right!

smithkinson - Centerparcs sounds fab - you're really moving with your plans! What do you have planned for your hen do?

FutureCooper - have a fab hen weekend! There's not many of us coming to mine - so not sure what we'll do. I always feel a bit sorry for brides out on their hen do with not many friends, but most of my friends live a long way away, and skintness/babies etc is preventing a few from coming. I'll see what my bridesmaids come up with!

wanchai_2

Emma - hope you're feeling better today

Mel - have an amazing hen weekend and tell us all the details when you get back

BabyBoots - there are 14 of us going on my hen, which isn't many compared with some, but they are all close friends and I am delighted that they can go. Better than having 50 acquaintances there!

Well, the veils didn't go too well with the dress, so they are being returned today. Nice try I guess!! The hunt continues!

But on the plus side, I just had a midweek WI - and I am now 9st 12.5lbs!!!!!!!! Omg I am soooo chuffed! That's 1.5lbs off since Tuesday and 8.5lbs off in total, woo hoo!! :beer: 9st here I come!

Happy Friday everyone xxxx
