I have porridge for brekkie too... Hungry but not really 'into it' today for some reason....
Have a ham sandwich for lunch, with grapes and 3 jaffa cakes. N a hoisin chicken salad with a handful of rice for tea.

em why are you angry with your BM? i had a nightmare with mine but was eventually happy in the end.

olokia glad you had fun. was it busy there? ahh lets all start this week hey? hehe

Olokia

Wow - sounds like you had a great weekend Olokia. Can we see the shoes? I need inspiration for mine. How high have you gone?

Yeah Emm - why are you angry with your BM?

I agree with Rups... maybe we need to go forward from today - diet wise.

I get married on the 25th August, dress fitting supposed to be 6 weeks before (about 14th July), so about 25 weeks. In the ideal world I'd love to lose 3 stone (42lb). So to do that in 25 weeks I would need to lose about 1.6lb each week. Can I do it??????

I just need to loose 1-2 inches.....! I have until August realistically.... Then why is it soo hard...!!!?!

Ooohh how exciting Olokia

Yeah definately a good idea. Start afresh with positive attitude.

Well it is a long story so sorry if I drag on lol. We are having a small wedding, just the people we really love, around 20 guests so no plus ones. My BM has been with her bf around 6 months (so had only just started dating him when we started planning) and she right away asked if he could come as she wouldn't know anyone (which isn't true as all our friends that are coming are school friends, BM included, it's just that she hasn't spoken to them in a while) and said sorry but no. (plus as an aside her boyfriends don't tend to last long so who knows if she will be with him by the wedding) Then round Christmas when I said one of our friends wasn't coming she asked if her bf could come. Again I said no. Yesterday eve she text to see if I would be sharing a room with her the night before the wedding as her bf has offered to come up to edinburgh with her so she isn't traveling on her own (only around 4 hours on train so not far really) but he will 'amuse himself'. Now I am going to look awful if I don't let him come to the wedding. I don't see why I should though as we have never met him and only want the people we love there. She has put me in a really difficult position and I don't think it is fair. Sorry to go on and probably not explaining it well. I had a brilliant weekend until then and it ruined it for me and I ended up in tears when I got home and discussed it with OH. Am I being unreasonable?

I don't think so Em. Yes- it may only be one '+ 1', and you probably won't even notice him, but what about all the other people who you have said can't bring a plus one. If u make an exception for her the other guests may feel slightly put out... I think it's similar to the no kids rule, if you make one exception you are going to have trouble justifying why you can't make 2 (not just to other ppl, but to your self as well).
Have the wedding you want!

Morning all, hope everyone had a nice weekend! I was good until last night, we got the M&S dine in for £10, and had steak lasagne, garlic mushrooms, millionaire shortbread pudding and brandy hot choc. So yummy, but counted it up and it was over 1300 calories - more than my whole day's allowance!

i agree with Jo hon.. Dont get stressed but be firm. i had the SAME thing. we allowed plus one's but only for the people we knew and my cousin asked me straight away if the father of her baby could come, yet they were on and off so i had to say no. then she found out one of my other cousins couldnt make it and she asked again whether he could fill that space and again i had to say no, just out of principal as we hadnt invited bf's of some friends, as a rule. like you said if you werent sure how long she would be with him, we did the same. only long-term partners were allowed and anyway it was our choice!!! i told my mum and even my mum agreed (and she is up to inviting everyone). she even gave me the guilt trip of him coming with her to the hotel and staying there alone and i just ignored that.. so do it your way. a lot of people will make you feel guilty/blackmail. ignore it. do what you and your OH want to do!! sounds quite nice actually not having so many people..

Thanks Rups and Jo I feel so guilty and bad but I don't think I should. I have done nothing wrong. She has made it clear that she wouldn't have her wedding like mine, she thinks you should invite everyone you know. But it is our wedding and our choice as to who to invite! I am so angry and upset. I know I need to call her to talk about it but know I will end up in tears. Grrrr why are weddings so stressful
