    20 October: Nic Noc Noo 103 DAYS TO GO

    ...

    so is it :eek::eek: or :T ?????

    definitely :eek: :eek: now i've seen it in days (or sleeps!). blimey...

    have got a few things sorted over the last week or so.
    Flowers: quotes received and order to be placed tomorrow :T
    Hen do - done and dusted Saturday just gone, would have been much much better if I HADN'T had a flipping tummy bug halfway through the night (and no it wasn't drink related), still I enjoyed myself and so did everyone else.
    Centrepieces coming along, my mum brought one up with her at the weekend - very pleased.
    Seen shoes for flower girl but need to confirm her size before i buy them...and probably wait to see if she grows any more before the wedding.
    going for hair trial a week on Saturday, also trying to arrange meeting with chair cover lady for same weekend as down in Wales - oh and need to make appointment with florist re. table arrangement that forms part of my package at the hotel.
    should probably arrange to meet with the hotel co-ordinator that weekend too as haven't heard/spoken to them for a while (since January actually - is that normal??? :cool: )

    Aww Lisa, our cat was ill last year, not only was it stressful knowing your pet was ill, it was stressful worrying what the end bill was going to be.

    Ours is a bit of both too, I finished writing all our day invites last night, except for one, because I made a mistake and didnt have a spare so I need to get another one printed off. Ordered the BM dresses too, yay! They're due in 7-8 weeks because they're not standard sizes.

    So that's everything ordered now, phew!

    Edit: I havent spoken to my wedding coordinator since I booked the venue 2 years ago - maybe I should get on the phone to them....

    We haven't spoken to our venue either... Other than paying installments! I think we may go at the end of August to check out a few things like music player etc. OH has just got an extra day off after the BH, so (as we r both Dorset way) we will order glasses, buy soft drinks, order the beer from brewery, do our centrepieces and visit venue! All in one day... After the hen n stag do... Hmmm :rotfl:
