    Oh, forgot to say - I collected my engagement ring from the jewellers after polishing - God, it's like new!!!!!!!!!! So shiny and smooth. I love it!!! But now I'm in a dilemma, do I wear it between now and the wedding or not? I don't want to be without it, but I don't want it to be all scratched and dull again either lol.

    Oh yeah lol. Eeek, hadn't thought of it like that!!!!!!!! :eek: But I will get to wear it afterwards :D

    I'm off to a spa this evening for a full body scrub and mud wrap to make my skin all soft for the wedding. It's my pre-wedding treat to myself and I intend to enjoy every second. :):):) I got it cheap via Groupon, natch! :rotfl:

    OK, I've put my ring back on, but I am going to be *very* careful with it between now and the big day!

    My excitement level has shot off the scale since the fitting this morning!!!!
