    :T:T:T fab news Emma!

    Just a word of warning - I may disappear off here for the next week and a bit - just until I know what I'll be doing in September. I will try to catch up at the weekend - if not I'll still be reading.

    (PS Wanchai - we'll hold you to your promise of sharing photos! :) x)

    Good luck with everything, hope you get on ok with it all xx
    Natalie- hope everything goes ok work wise.

    Well as Im on a roll Ive told oh we are sorting out best man and flowergirl presents tonight! Oh has now decided he wants to get best man a pewter tankard so i will show him a few then he can pick one and decide what he wants engraved on it!!

    I feel like things are coming together quite nicely now. I did a table plan the other day, using round tables and it worked out well, so I think we are back to that now!! We will also be on a round table, with my sister (chief bridesmaid), her boyfriend, best man and then 3 really friends, which I think will be really nice, and I wouldnt want a completely seperate top table as I would feel watched, plus I think the round one will be more sociable!

    We decided to go for round tables for the same reasons, I used to work in hospitality and did loads of weddings and it is really exposed if you have a top table. And like you say it's harder to talk to people!

    I've done nothing of note today, just went for a walk round the local park and saw lots of baby swans and geese, awww! Thats all though lol.

    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    Welcome Bellrooster. What a fab birthday surprise.

    We are at varying degrees on the organisational scale. I think i am about midway. Some (mainly MrsDrink) are way up there!

    I feel like i am having a hugely productive week. Its like a huge wave of wedding reality has hit me. So during half term week i have appointments with the wedding coordinator at the register office, first dress fitting, appointment at the venue to talk numbers, menu and drinks and i have booked a trial spray tan. I have never had one before i am trying sienna-x. My bestest is getting married on June 4th so i'm having it done for that and then IF i like it i'll have it done for mine. It should last a good week so fingers crossed i don't come out orange.
