    I think it depends how much... I know a LOT of energy is spent thinking. And you can literally think your self thin.

    However, I think exercising or dieting just might give quicker results!! :rotfl:

  • Thank you vistaprint!

    got my vistaprint delivery of freebies today. have got one of their free cotton bags for my bridesmaid (saying "I was a Bridesmaid [date] and all I got was this lousy bag!), bit disappointed with the text on it tho as the text wasn't as clear or large as i was expecting, but still a good qualilty bag. got return address labels to put on the invitations. also a mug for one of the witnesses that says "I Witnessed It! [date]. I also made some magnets for favours that said "I was a guest at Nic Noc Noo's Wedding and all i got was this lousy magnet!" but I think because I spent so long messing about with different fonts and sizes I don't like them now they have turned up (they look yuk and tacky design-wise!) and probably won't use them :( seen another design I like so gonna wait till i get another "free" offer then re-order. magnets are really good quality so for anyone that is unsure of ordering their magnets i would recommend them.

    yeh...i WILL get into it eventually, not so much weight loss thing with me (lucky i know) but I feel I want to tone up a lot (esp. around my middle...damn you cider!)...january is depressing enough as it is so might just give myself a break and start in February instead :)

    have been busy this morning and got lots of things confirmed and seen money whizzing out of the bank for deposits

    seems like its all really coming together now and starting to add up, OH has not got his way and there will be some free drinks (not including spirits) for the reception waiting for the venue to get back with prices to see how many each person will get (i know its not MSE but i dont mind today lol)

    i do have to say our wedding co-ordinator at the venue is AMAZING every one of my changes has been happily and speedily dealt with - dont know what i'd do without her now - need a clone of her for my life lol:T:T

    how is everyones weekend going????

    6525 hours until I get married - doesnt look alot like that :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    might get more stuff done tonight after the kids are in bed will see how it goes

    Sounds like everything is a go on your end! :D

    I tried some new makeup yesterday- went to the Clinique counter and got a trial. Was quite pleased with it. :)
    OH got a suit for work so he is very happy. He also looks really good in it!:j :o

    Also think we have a reading sorted, I have posted it on a thread, hopefully people think its good! :)

    They were really good. Didn't push me to buy anything at all. I think I will buy at least some of the stuff.

    It's more MSE than getting someone else to do it for me.... That's what I keep telling myself!

    And OH said he preferred the expensive Clinique make-up to stuff I "usually" wear! (ie the 1ns a month I actually wear it!)
