    Phew!!!!!!! mild panic over :rotfl:




    Can not wait to get home and view these now! Hmmmm little rude not even acknowledging your email. Decision made really, bin her!

    Mild panic in a funny kind of way today . . . i thought i'd damaged my beautiful engagement ring :eek: my heart actually jumped as it was all cloudy and white, not the the big sparkly diamond it should be. I had a bagel with philli cheese on for lunch, i had got philli on it!! :rotfl:

    Hahaha!!

    Ahhh, I haven't even thought about a gift for OH! Or undies shopping! At this rate my knickers will be my something old! :rotfl:

    Lol again! I'm thinking the same, I hope shopping for undies will be relatively painless when I do get round to going...

    H2B has booked the airport hotel and arranged transfers with the hotel direct. I have had another read through Tripadvisor and there's lots more positive feedback on the hotel. Soooooo excited and so pleased with our choice.

    Hi everyone:)

    Will try and read back to see how your all doing.

    My BM has gone and fallen off her bike and broken her knee! So will most likely be on crutches for the wedding! You gotta laugh! So may now looking into buying some flat purple or ivory shoes for her!

    Going out thursday to look for a dress for DD then meeting up with the wedding planner at hotel friday.

    Had a dream last night that i didnt buy the BM any earrings and i was blaming DD for taking up all my time for not being able to go out and buy the earrings!!:rotfl:

    Ouch that sounds soooooo painful, your poor bridesmaid. For flat ivory shoes I found debenhams had the best selection, BHS was rubbish and Next had one pair that would have been perfect if it wasnt for the fact my bridesmaid has big wide feet!! (and they werent satin so she could have worn them throughout the summer).

    Your DD is going to look so cute.

    Well I was checking though my emails today and the last time I spoke with the photographer he said we would need to meet up May/ June time!! Thought I better email him and arrange to meet up- especially as May is nearly over!!:rotfl: I have also been going through my spreadsheet, and we should actually have a little bit of money left over in our wedding account is all the costings go to plan!:j

    Is anyone elses week really dragging!! Roll on the nice long bank holiday weekend!!

    I think Im going to wash my hair the day before- it has far too much volume just after its dried (think Monica on friends!!:rotfl:)!!

    Laura - oops @ your BM! Hope she's ok. Good kick with fidinf stuff for Erinna, she I going to look gorgeous :)

    Emma - whoop, glad that your budget is going so well!

    Well, I've delegated the Emirates email to OH. :) Will he do it? Who knows? I'll remind myself to check up next week. I love delegating!!! :D

    Spent this evening tidying up and applying my Fake Bake Fair, really hope that it works! We shall see tomorrow. Oh and I went to another personal training session -#5 of 12. Going well so far! I'm trying hard to be good foodwise too.

    Right, off to bed to dream of waking up lightly brown! lol xx

    Mel - that is great about your hotel still receiving good reviews. Unfortunately I got an email to say our hotel is undergoing some rennovations and there may be some noise disturbance. We're really in two minds whether to just see what it's like (knowing we won't have much come back as they've already warned us) or bite the bullet and change hotels (probably for a cost given how much of a bargain I got us originally). I think as we're only really using it as a base for our diving we're leaning more to the 'suck it and see' side.

    Laura - oh no your poor bridesmaid!! I keep reminding MrD that when he goes out on his motorbike that he has to be extra careful. If he comes off and breaks anything chances are it won't heal in time for the wedding!! Which reminds me he came home yesterday declaring he's invited 2 more people. Am actually really angry about it. Grrrr!! I said I'm not making them an invite, so hopefully they just won't turn up. We agreed at the start we'd invite two of his cousins that I'm close to and see regularly. The 2 he's invited - the guy is a biking guy he knows, but the missus is one of his cousins that I have seen once or twice since we have been together, 13 years in July. I'm annoyed because I know how this is going to be interpreted by the rest of his cousins! Besides I don't want 47 people at our house party!! I liked the nice round number of 45! Grrrr. Hopefully he knows how annoyed I am and won't go inviting anyone else!!!!!!! (Knew we should have hired a bloody village hall!!)

    Emma - that is great news that your savings are going to be more than your spendings :T Very MSE!! And yep this week is seriously dragging for me!

    Wanchai - I hate delegating when it comes to wedding things!! It makes my stress levels rise as I only have to spend just as much time checking it's all done properly :rotfl:. Not that I'm a control freak and obsessive you understand :)

    Wooo hooo - am off to post the ceremony details and payment off today :D

    To be honest, I really don't know what I want for my hair it's curly so whatever gets done they have to fight against the cur that's there. I got left a long confuluted message from the second salon last night and now not sure whether to call her back - was probably stuck in the train tunnel at the time.

    As for washing my hair - it's a pain whatever I do, there's no controlling it!

    But ferry is booked for the day, planning on going to the venue and figuring out where I'd like to have some photos taken.

    At the moment I'm a little bored with all the wedding stuff, and the constant questions about blooming wedding lists, I was ready to blow at the in-laws at the weekend too many questions and I wasn't in the mood.

    Oh no! How about decorating her crutches with ivory ribbon to tie into the wedding theme ? :rotfl:

    If your only using the hotel as a base i would risk it . . . .but take ear plugs! You may get a better deal by changing hotels when you are actually there. Do they have a 'sister' hotel you could transfer too?

    Mummy and Daddy's wedding would be lovely or even just the date. I spotted some lovely keepsake boxes in Clinton's the other day and M&S have a lovely bridal range of boxes, wrappings and cards etc at the moment. I am going to use my post box i think.

    My work colleagues have suggested a wedding gift today as i had said i don't have a list and didn't want presents so they are going to get us a pre loaded card with euros we can take on our honeymoon and spend at our leisure. What a lovely idea. :)

    This week has dragged . . . . still its only 2 more 'get ups' until i get a week off to do all things weddingy!
