    Morning all!

    Last day at work for me and I am on a total high!!!!!!!! :j Can't wait to finish! It is all starting to seem very real now. :eek: Between this evening and tomorrow afternoon, I still need to pack for the HM, finish my DIY bits, sort out and box up everything that I need to bring to my mum's with me, have my nails and brows done, nip to the RM sorting office to pick up missed deliveries - oh and pick up the dresses and veil! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    ETA: also need to redirect my hired Jenny Packham headpiece to my aunt's house, confirm all menus and table plan with venue (today!) and email the DJ with our playlist. YIKES.

    I am so excited for the first 'regulars' weddings!! :j:j It might actually feel real for me once they've happened :D though I'll be wanting to see pictures right away when you all have better things to do like be newlyweds and go on honeymoon :p

    LOL. I am really nervous about being one of the first of the 'regulars'! Can't wait to see everyone's pics afterwards :):):) I promise a few pics before I go away xx

    Yes, I'm staying there for the whole week, it will be pure bliss! :D I'll be busy too, but it'll be lovely to escape to the country and fiddle around with the last of the DIY stuff - oh and try on my dress every day :rotfl:

    Your dresses are fab!!!!!!!!! Really lovely. I especially love the Lipsy one, so 1960s! :A:A:A


    GL - really hope that the passport peeps come through for you! xxx

    Have fun at work tomorrow wanchai - they might have forgotten you when you come back after your month off! Do you think they'll all get you a card? I don't think anyone will get me one - I work with boys and just one girl (who doesn't even give a birthday card to her husband).

    I would hint at how lovely it is that you have already recieved well wishes and cards from people . . . ok so this a lickle fib but it might work!

    Nope. :( It's really getting me down!

    Do you have a plan B? Can you chase them for it? 'IF' it ever stops blinking raining there are some beautiful English getaways.

    Sooooo excited for you! Work are bound to do something for you, although i giggled at someones comment about forgetting who you were after such along time off. I always return to work to find all my stationary gone! The deputy head is coming to my evening do and has asked what i would like as a gift as he doesn't want to put in the school pot. "you did know there was a collection for you, didn't you?" - Er well no, but i do now :rotfl:

    3 weeks today for me :j:j

    Hairdrying styler just broke - boo! Have to send it off to service centre - not much chance of getting it back before honeymoon I guess. Maybe I'll mention that in my letter - so bridezilla - even the failure of household appliances in in some way related to The Big Day!

    Just paid for flowers - so looking forward to seeing them - they are going to be so wonderful. My florist is fab, and I've always liked flowers, but never designed a bouquet before so these will be exactly what I love!

    I think having the dress on, then seeing my bouquet will be the two most exciting bits of the morning. Getting my hair and make up done, and finding a parking space, will be the nervy bits!

    Yeah we've said we'll go in the UK somewhere and Marrakech in a few weeks once the passport's here. Two honeymoons can't be bad!
    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    Certainly can't lol! Good for you, with that attitude you won't go far wrong! And the passport might still come through in time :)
