just joined the diet thread. I weigh in on a Tuesday but am happy to announce any losses (hopefully all losses!) each Friday morning.

I thought they looked familiar! well my shoes arrived yesterday, I just have to decide which ones to keep...
I may try them on with dress tonight, and see which ones are more comfortable... Or I may go to the gym... Or I may vote in London elections... I can't do all three! Which ones to do?!?! :eek:

Oh thanks Jo, you reminded me that I need to vote today too. Although OH and I are going shopping for a bow tie or tie to go with his kilt as we have a wedding to go to on Saturday and he tried on his kilt last week and the waistcoat is too tight! He was supposed to start a diet this week so it was more comfortable, because we also have another wedding in two weeks but he hasnt bothered. Grr!

done the voting bit and now off to do some more work the presentation boxes for my invitations arrived so i have all of those to get put together and i may actually have to start packing for this holiday

had some news on my dress and it should be here in 8 weeks which is amazing especially when they said 20 weeks

i have my engagement shoot on the 13th so a good excuse for shoe shopping

am looking at having extensions in for the big day but there are so many different kinds im getting a little confuzzled

the ozzy best man hasnt been in contact for a while and has just declared his engagement so i am getting annoyed that i cant sort anything to do with him out

i was a little bit of a b*tch last night, talking to my cousin who i am quite close to is asking if his gf is invited to the wedding seeing as they are now 'serious' (by serious i mean they have been together 3 weeks and have moved in together) when i told him that i am inviting her to the evening but not the day cos of the tightness of numbers he says that he isnt coming to the day without her - i may have replied with some naughty words

also i love people telling me that seeing as im getting married i need to sort out their accommodation for that night (not pay just book it) which is exactly what i need right now more work!

jo- go to the gym and vote you can try on your shoes tomorrow (i know its hard) xxxx

Yeah, I'm leaving the gym for today. I am getting a bit bored of my routine, but booked in for a review next Thursday. I am also going to go swimming Sat morning before the suit shopping.

emailed a few ideas to my sister to ask my Niece (who is 10) about what ideas she has about dress style when she is my BM.

Had an email to say my repaired bouquet is on its way back to me. This time it has been pretty much bomb proofed with regards to the packaging. It was a bit too flimsy last time - a thin cardboard box, a weeny bit of bubble wrap and some tissue paper.

Getting a bit about the lack of contact from the pagan priest who contacted us 2 or 3 weeks ago about doing our handfasting ceremony. He had done the ceremony of the moderator of the county pagan group and she passed our email address to him. He emailed and said he may be able to officiate. We emailed back but have heard nothing. I sent a gentle nudge last weekend but still nothing. It isn't panic stages by any means but he is local, recommended and securing that part would mean the invitations could be started on with the time etc.

More pudding trying tomorrow for our reception meal - not good for the new diet!! :rotfl:

Ok- I have decided on my shoes.



And yes in the pic I am wearing different shoes on each foot!
I tried it on with my dress too, an took a few pics... Really want to show them off, but think it may jinx it! :rotfl: I did sent it to my mum, sis and bridesmaid who hadn't seen the dress... Just do they could say it looked good! :rotfl:

Not going swimming tomorrow morning now, OH mum was coming up on Sun, but she has cancelled, so can go then without the rush.
