    Yeah we are getting married at edinburgh zoo.

    With the cake we have met with a couple and know what we want but they have been really rubbish at replying lately :( so the last month not heard from them. grr.

    With the pre wedding shoot, hair & make up trial and menu tasting we are doing them the first weekend in March as that is the only time we are in Edinburgh before the wedding.

    I know it isn't that bad really just bits and bobs but having written it down it seems like loads!! lol.

    I feel the need to comfort eat to get over the shock haha

    Can't give notice till after 13th Jan so got a week and a half to decide on our vows, ceremony music and any readings.

    Going to lakeside and ikea with my mum next weekend to sort jewlery, sweetie buffet, gifts, ribbon etc. Just realised I need to get my underwear too but can't do that till my dress is in and I have tried it on again.

    It feels like loads when you write it all down doesn't it Olokia!

    We also need to do a gift list type thing. we weren't going to have one but everyone keeps asking so we need to do something.

    it surely is. :) it can all be done. i had a similar list and boy was ebay good for some of the stuff. :) i even bought thank you cards from ebay. :) for the cake, as our budget was tight, we got a three tier sponge cake from mrks and spencer, my BM decorated it and she did such a good job :)

    I had thought I was mostly done until I wrote it all down haha. The little bits and bobs really add up. We know what we want with our cake and met the baker but he has been rubbish at replying to emails lately. It does put me off slightly but the cake was really nice and I am sure it will be ok once we order.

    We need something that can just get delievered as it is really as no one lives anywhere near and most of us are flying up. If we were having it closer to home I would have got my cousin to do it but dont think they would travel that well.

    It does yea

    I'm just saying to myself that all the major decisions have been made and now it is just (mostly) decorations and getting me ready. The biggest thing left is finding a dress alteration person and someone for hair and makeup.

    Oh yea. Gift list creating needs to be added to the list as well. Thanks.

    That job finally emailed me back about my request for feedback (That I made 20 days ago! Ok Christmas was in between but still....)

    "We will be able to provide you with some feedback on your interview. This will be with within the next few weeks." :mad:

    As my OH works there and knows my interviewer, he is going to ask him on Monday when the interviewer gets back from holiday.
