    So has anybody tried out the berketex bride sale? Im supposed to be going at 3.30 this afternoon. But I have already been in and tried on quite a few dresses, but they were all tiny sizes on the display, and all i got was imagine if it fitted properly, which is hard when i just seemed to be falling out all over the place. Im a size 14 (at the minute) and just looked loads bigger than what i am!

    Well my grandmother has a lot to answer for!!! (see quote from her above!)

    My 18 year old sister announced at Christmas that she's dropping out of uni, moving in with her scrubber of a boyfriend (they've been together 6 months) and is pregnant :cry:

    My mum and dad were due to contribute 2k to our wedding + 1k for the honeymoon, how can I possibly accept that money now? Our budget is only 6.5k so it's a massive chunk that we may now potentially be without.

    I have spent the whole "festive" season so far in tears and the thought of planning my wedding makes me feel sick & selfish. I just can't get my head around any of it, and it feels like my whole family is falling apart :cry:

    I'm sure it's not as bad as it seems have you talked though your worries with your parents?

    You can't just put that and leave us hanging for details!! ;)


    White_Sapphire, great news about your honeymoon

    Fawny, my OH got all teary at midnight too. He's not a soppy person so I was surprised, but then seeing his hangover today (he is STILL in bed!!!) maybe it was more Jagermeister than emotion... :beer:

    Thanks all for the kind words re. my sister. I've spoken to my parents today and they've said my wedding is their priority & everything we had spoken about is still AOK, but I'm still worried about the effect on the family :(

    Happy New Year everyone, it's going to be an exciting one!!!
