Morning all!

Oh God, 5 days till I go to my mum's and I have a MILLION things to do between now and then! I was making lists in my sleep lol! I woke up an hour early, sprang out of bed and started digging out stuff for the honeymoon! :rotfl: I seriously need to get everything done in time for this Saturday.

The florist is taking me to the wholesaler's tomorrow, I cannot wait!

Going to DM for a final fitting on Wed, then to a spa for a full body scruband mud wrap, it will be bliss! Assuming no disasters, spas are not too lucky for us lot atm lol.

Is there anything you can do when you get to your mum's or do you just get to chill for the week leading up to your date?:rotfl: Are you going on your honeymoon from your mum's too?

I am lucky in that i get a couple of hours the day after the wedding to go home, tidy up the house and pack final bits before i have to leave for the airport hotel.

I'll have a second hair trial next week and am going to the venue on the Thursday to drop stuff off, will also be making a few last-minute bits. But it'll be less hectic than here!!!

We go on HM 2 days after the wedding (2 weeks today) but are staying in a hotel on the wedding night and the Sunday night, so are just calling at our house to pick up the bags and going straight to the airport!! So I need EVERYTHING organised, packed etc by this Saturday... :eek:

well ive had a half day today and its been very productive!! I have got my car Mot and Tax (car went straight through!!:j), I have met with the lady in charge of our venue and with the caterer and confirmed everything, taken the damaged frames back to Debenhams and got new ones, picked up the honeymoon ticket information, popped the song disk into the registry office and confirmed information (she had to check our song choices on Wikepedia!!:rotfl:) and now Im about to go and collect my dress and take it straight to be cleaned, and Im hoping to print out all our name cards this evening aswell!! Oh and try and get in touch with the dj!!

Wanchai- I cant believe its almost your day- seriously its whizzed round!!

SKS- thats a great price for your flowers.

Wow, Emma, that is amazing!!! All in a half day! :eek:

I know, where the hell has the year gone lol.

Got a few more bits at lunchtime, including favours for the littlies and a few pashminas in case it's chilly (!), will try them on with the dress in Wed and see how they go, then return the ones that don't suit.

Today I've bought shoes for DD and a cardigan for me. Not much left to buy now. Need to figure out how long to get MoH's sash then I can buy that too. :T for productive days ladies! can't believe how close it is for some of you now

(I know it's close for ALL of us but as there's lots of you first I'll just carry on in denial!)

Yes I gave up last week, and they've all let us know now :T Most outstanding were no's, but one yes.

I've bought this cardi, which will hopefully look ok with DDs dress and MoH's sash (when I get it ordered that is!)

We have finally had all our rsvps now too, including one that I am slightly GRRRR about but that's a story for the secret facebook group lol.

I'm annoyed at the minute because all the roads round here are blocked at the minute because of the olympic torch stuff, fgs I really can't see why people are so bothered? It's someone running with a piece of metal??? I don't agree with the olympics as it is and all the inconvenience is really p{55ing me off!

I did have something other than moaning to say lol but can't remember what it is! Haha never mind. Off to aquajog tonight, hopefully I can get there through the traffic...
