    :rotfl:Sorry DM, I'm just getting excited, and trying to stave off boredom while at work :D

    We made the orders of service at the weekend and got all the thank you gifts bought and wrapped. Tonight we're having our menu tasting at the hotel and hopefully getting in contact with the wedding car owner to see what time he's coming to pick me up on Saturday. Trying to get the ironing done so I can pack the honeymoon clothes too.

    Then tomorrow and Wendesday not doing anything wedding related, because I've got uni in the evenings. Then Thursday starting again: OH's haircut, picking up dresses, getting nails done, putting sweets into the sweetie jars for the buffet, and sorting all documentation for the honeymoon. Then Friday, dropping all the stuff down to the hotel, and dropping OH off for a meal with his dad, my dad and his BM and then my BMs are coming over for a girly night. Phew!

    Realise I have been a bit quiet on here recently! :) (Thats coz I am no longer at work! :rotfl:)

    Managed to drive back fine (with the cake) on the Sunday, but then the car had to go to the garage. :( hopefully I will get it back soon! Managed to get my sister to drive me around yesterday morning, went to pick up some troughs for the bar to put ice in, n went to visit our ceremony place- I needed to check the set up n run through things again- couldn't really remember the plan! :o

    I'm going OK with getting through seeing family before the wedding too! Saw one set if grandparents yesterday, the other today, auntie / uncle, may see other auntie on Thursday... It wasn't deliberate, but I heard you never have enough time to actually talk properly, so it is quite nice!

    Marquee man comin on Wednesday- so expecting all go from then on! :D

    We had our menu tasting last night - so pleased with it. Also got final - final details sorted with hotel. We've had one person drop out so we're going to give that adults meal to one of the older kids.

    Need to get the table plan printed tonight, and buy some writable CDs to get our music sorted!

    hey guys - great to hear how we're all getting on in the last few days...seems very weird going around saying that I'm getting married this month! lol

    got most things paid off now, just the registrar and photographer to pay. Am on with arty bits now - completed my place cards last night, need to print and mount my table plan, print and mount sweet jar labels, assemble wedding post box, print and mount table numbers/names. I have asked a friend to help with my wedding tree print (having one of those where everyone leaves a finger/thumbprint on the print - in lieu of guest book). Bought myself a faux fur shrug last week (ebay) as I have visions of me FREEZING to death on the day whilst photos are being taken (I get proper nesh!), haven't got one for my bridesmaid though as she has a little coverage on her shoulders on her dress whereas I don't!

    Still need to buy a frame for the Congratulations certificate from Mr NicNocNoo's footy club (which he doesn't know about...teeheehee)...just debating WHEN to give him said gift, whether to have it on display near the table plan so everyone sees it, or to have it on his place setting (but then no-one else will see it), or to get the Best Man to present it to him during his speech.

    still need to get music sorted on a CD for the ceremony and make sure the DJ got my email about our first dance!

    all very exciting!!! :)

    My last day at work!
    Got the music burned on to CDs last night for the ceremony and prelude, tried to get my table plan printed last night at Staples only to be told that my card was too small for the printer to recognise. Which is a bit strange since they also print business cards? So I'm going back down tonight to see if I can get hold of someone different and hopefully get it printed.
