Agh, meant to say - it is sooo hard to get a photo printed from a phone! I have gone to Boots, Snappy Snaps and Jessops to use their USB cord things, and each time it failed to load my pics!!! I finally managed to get one printed today. It's of me and my BM and is going in a frame as part of her thank you gift, to be replaced by one of us at the wedding

My ring was commissioned by a shop in town but it was nearly 3 years ago. (It's not an 'engagement' ring as such remember )

Lol yes my list is long - BUT bear in mind it has EVERYTHING on it - the actual version even has my morning of the wedding timetabled - including things like shower and shave :rotfl: but I figured you guys didn't need to see that.

So tonight I have done the three things in red above:
* Checked the CD with the ceremony music works
* Printed out the readings and popped them into MrD's 'box of bits' for the morning of the wedding so he can give them to my brother and his sister incase they haven't printed out their own
* Sorted out and wrapped up one of the photo frames for our parents (photo is on FB but think you've already seen it ) waiting for MrD to get home to approve before I wrap up the second one.
* Printed off and laminated some 'toilet this way' signs to stick up around the house for the party.

Well done Natalie!!! Knew you would find something weddingy to do

Tonight I have:
1. Emailed the church music peeps with our choices
2. Started to make a list of what I need to bring to my mum's on Sat
3. Washed a LOAD of undies for next week and the HM as I have hardly any clean ones
4. Gone through my undies drawer and found a gorgeous bra & pants set that I've never worn! They will be lovely for the wedding night, that's my something old sorted too :rotfl:
5. Almost finished the second part of my big project - pic posted on FB! I'm also going to do something similar for the cake table

Ghostlove

F*************k! It's THIS MONTH!

Mr Ghostlove's mum and dad and I discussed food this morning - I basically gave them a list of who we're catering for (for those who don't know we're having an informal picnic-BBQ for sixty!) including how many omnivores, vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free, and they wrote a list of what we all think will be needed plus a little extra, and they have taken it completely out of my hands, thank the gods! They will go out the day before to as many supermarkets as it takes to get everything that's needed, pay for it all and sort out how to store it all until the next day. Whew, that's a big load off my mind!

Car is all booked now, most of the RSVPs are back, my bestie (and officiant) is booking a mani-pedi for the two of us for the day before - I've never had one before so it feels very luxurious. The only thing left, I think, is to buy the ribbons for the handfasting, and chase the bestie up about getting the handfasting ceremony written down so Mr G and I can write our vows.

Ghostlove

Oh cr*p, I have to do the activity books too. Why I make more work for myself I do not know!

MrsDrink

That is great news that they are sorting the picnic/BBQ out for you Just think with the time gained by that you can sort your activity books out :rotfl:.

Well I'm up so early today because our little house bunny came plodding along upstairs to see us. When he was a baby bunny he used to come upstairs all the time, but then he got too big and didn't feel safe coming downstairs. (Stairs didn't have any carpets on, and he didn't feel safe coming down head first as he had nothing to grip on to). So now we have carpets we've been waiting for him to come back up So it was a happy waking up moment. Plod plod plod plod Although that was followed by me having to actually get up to make sure I'd shut the office door so he couldn't nibble anything weddingy

Oh and PS as of this morning I am officially back in the healthy BMI range :T (9st11.5), which is where I want to be on our wedding day. It is actually 13.5lbs less than I was when I tried on my dress at Easter and felt bloated. It is also 2.5lbs less than I was when I tried it on when my mum was being shown how to tie me in, and she said I shouldn't lose any more incase the 'v' shape at the back doesn't look like a 'v'.

BabyBoots

Aww - that's so cute about Bun coming to visit you! :A I want one!!

:T:TSuper well done on getting to a healthy BMI - you've lost loads!:j:j

I was nearly there myself, when I did a sneaky weigh-in and measure a day early. The first time I got on the scales it said 10st6.5 = BMI 25, but then I was so surprised I tried it again (twice!) and it said 10st 7 both times = 25.1. But nearly there! That's motivation to keep to the straight and narrow in the last couple of weeks!

Morning all

Another sleep down. We are all so close now. Does anyone else though still feel it isn't quite real somehow?
