Oooh, where do you get the dowels?

The code is FTOSUMMR, but hold off if you can, I suspect that they are just saying that and then VOILA! it will happen xxx

Yay! time is flying by. I hope the stress is easing. I feel your pain as i am under a huge amount at the moment, wedding planning is a great release.

. Our registrar confirmed today they had all our details and we're good to go.:)

I am officially better and was working today - I now have a V-shape pink patch on my back.... must either tan evenly or not at all in the run up to the wedding - I'll be getting out all the strapless tops too! At least when I go for my fake tan on Friday it'll be plausible, given all the good weather. My skin is so dry though, I hope I don't look patchy!

OOh all booked and confirmed. Reality now! Can i ask what tan you are getting? I am having my first spray tan next weekend. Its called sienna-x and i haven't had one before. Any tips?

I went to my second personal training session this morning, he made me really work hard! I feel great now though! I have another session tomorrow (at 7am! :eek:) I was sooo chuffed earlier when OH said 'Bl00dy hell, you've lost a LOT of weight!' I could have jumped for joy! :j

Beautiful veil and :j to OH for noticing your tremendous weight loss. Greatest admiration for you sticking with meal replacements. I couldn't do it. I like my actual food too much. I love chewing, tasting etc so liquid lunch doesn't work for me.

I won't need all those dowels but its still less than M&S ones and i like the fact they are clear.

Hi ladies,

Not much progress on the wedding front from me. After the first flurry of about a dozen RSVP's we haven't had any more for a few days. I was hoping to see if we got any no's back before I sent out a couple more, but I think I will just send them anyway as there are a few people that I am 99% sure will not come. The boys ties have arrived and they look like they are nice quality and a good match for the BM dresses so that's good. I've also booked our planning meeting with our coordinator at the venue for the 17th of June as our RSVP deadline is the 15th so we should pretty much have our final numbers by then.

I am off to Newcastle for the weekend tomorrow night to visit a friend while OH is on his stag do so that will be good. It will distract me from what he might be up to :eek: and give me a break from constantly thinking about the wedding! :rotfl:

I really want to get my new passport!!! How long did it take for those of you that got new ones in your married name? I am so impatient! :rotfl:

It's nice to see all your faces on the fb group!

I've changed to proper food now, on the advice of the PT (she says that I should change and shake things up to keep my body on its toes ). I'm having 2 boiled eggs for breakfast, an M&S salad for lunch and a Count on Us meal for dinner. Plus fruit for snacks. Not very MSE losing weight is expensive!

Ooh, I've just booked our planning meeting too - 13th June! Whoop! We should have indicative numbers by then, but final numbers don't need to be confirmed until 2 days before the wedding.

Am I the only one not bothering to change my name? I might do it, I'll see how I feel closer to the time. But I'm sticking with my own passport, it's got 6 years left on it! :money: :rotfl:

Enjoy your weekend and the fab weather!

p.s. can someone PM me the link to the FB group so that I can work up the courage to join? xx

Well done on your gym efforts wanchai - 7am is probably the best time to exercise when it's this hot!

My Mum is waiting for the start of June to see if the M&S cakes go on 3 for 2. if not, I guess she'll order them anyway - i'll pass on your code though - thanks wanchai!:T

The veil looks like you couldn't wear a hairslide with it - weren't you after a statement hairslide on one side? It's impressive your OH is noticing your weight loss - you've done really well :T
I did my weekly weigh-in and measure today (it's normally on a Friday, but I was impatient to see if I'd put on weight from not exercising all week). Turns out I've lost 2lb of fat -yay! No drastic cm loss, but I guess my lurgy burnt off a bit of spare tyre. Hope it doesn't pile back on by next week - that makes 5lb lost since January - 2lb of which is in the last week. I'm down to 10st 6, which puts my BMI firmly at 25.0 - not technically overweight any more - yay! More incentive to keep away from the double choc caramel magnums this weekend .

Mel - I agree with wanchai - rest up that knee of yours. Remember you look fab now you've shed loads of weight - don't spoil it by having to hobble down the aisle because you're too keen to get back to the gym!

I had my first pre-wedding facial today - it was lovely. Lots of gadgetry I've never had used on me before! One more next month, then one the day before the wedding. The beautician said my skin was looking much better afterward- I'll reserve judgment for a while I think!

My spray tan tomorrow is called unreal tan. i'm just having one spray all over. I've never had one before either, FutureCooper. I've just been told to exfoliate the night before (I have terribly dry skin on my legs because I had them lasered a few years ago, and I never remember to exfoliate and moisturise...). You can shave 24hrs before and wax 48 hrs before, but wear nothing on the day - no makeup, deodorant, moisturiser, nothing. I'm guessing you literally take everything off and wear those paper pants? Hopefully not too embarrassing! Too much information?? :rotfl:

Rachel - have a lovely man free weekend! I have booked my venue visit for 8th June. Finalising all the details. . . . getting very excited now!

Wanchai - i have pm'd you my fb details. Mmmm real food must be nice, haha. Its the sticking to fruit only for snacks that gets me every time. Its costs a fortune doesn't it? It is unfair that is it cheaper to eat unhealthy high fat foods.

Thank you. When i booked they didn't give me any of this information! No make up or deodorant will be hard as i am going for my first dress fitting beforehand. I guess i can just take a wipe with me and remove make up and deoderant afterwards before i shoot off to the salon. They did say wear really loose clothing so they don't rub off the colour before it sets. I am really looking forward and hope it works as i am really worried about getting tan lines before July!
