  • Congratulations Legalblonde, very exciting! Are you having a big wedding?

    I have been entirely unsuccessful cleaning anything out, I keep starting but I get distracted and go off to use something exciting that I've found at the back of a drawer & then I don't throw anything out!

    I can't believe that people don't like mushrooms (i know its very common) everytime somebody says it I want to eat one!

    On an entirely different note I have developed a massive aversion to condoms, the most horrible things ever-ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!

    legal don't worry about your weight...there's plenty of other stuff to stresss about! Besides if you're like 90% of b2bs you'll lose about 1/2 stone the week before..nervousness, stress and general wedding mentalness will see to that;)

    On a scale of 1-10 how excited are you?? 11??:D

    Sorry I just saw this as the one after yours took it on to the next page :D

    Yeah people keep telling me I will lose loads coming up to it, maybe I was getting a bit impatient wondering why that hasn't happened yet lol but yes I am looking forward to rushing about in the last week.

    I have been on a bout 8-9 excitement, but I can well and truly say I am now at about 11!!! :D

    Thank you Lemon, I am exactly the same with clearing out, I am not working at the minute and had so many clear out plans but all that is happening is I am finding loads of clothes and shoes I forgot about!!!

    Our wedding is pretty big yeah, just a civil ceremony but the reception is quite big and traditional.

    I totally share your aversion! It was a great idea, from someone here, to go off the pill in May to get it out of my system but OMG they are so weird Lol I also get very embarrased buying them, they are 2 packs of 12 for £10 at Boots at the minute but I still can't bring myself to be seen to be "stocking up" lol I also make sure my engagement ring is on show when I do buy the puny 3 pack, lol you would think I was in 1811 not 2011!

    Thank you :) I did think I should stop weighing myself and concentrate more on how my clothes feel etc, I felt great a few weeks ago but then realised I had lost no weight lol. All I can think of are carbs!!

    Thank you :)

    Yes, I had my hen night a few weeks ago it was a really nice night, I wasn't that keen on the whole night out on the town thing but that is what I ended up having and it was really good :)

    I got some ovulation and pregnancy kits from Amazon, thought I may as well stock up, might start using the ovulation kits so I know where we are at after the wedding :P

    Hope everyone is well x

    Def concentrate on how you're feeling and how clothes fit! Scales are evil IMO. :o:rotfl:

    That's good you enjoyed the hen night. :beer:

    Good plan on stocking up on those. I have no such thing yet, but planning to get some folic acid this weekend. :)
  • Ha ha I know I look like a beetroot at the counter with them, although I feel better going on my own than with my oh!

    We are the same, have decided to stop the pill and wait a month but I think by the end of it I will be so relieved to throw away the condoms I won't be scared about ttc at all!

    I think I'll find it strange that me and DH will be able to get jiggy without him having to dash off to find a condom first! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    well we are as about as disorganised with getting them as we are with everything else in life, so we have actually had the strange experience of *not* being able to do things lol

    I want to ditch them from wedding night onwards, we have honeymoon about a week later, think I will just have to stop drinking after wedding as I will be so paranoid that I might have got really lucky lol

  • It is a weird thing - my oh said to me last week that we could have sex 4 times before we go to Tesco shopping, I almost wet myself laughing!

    Don't worry about carbs...new info about carbs and diet:D my fave diet article EVER!! I live for carbs:D

    Condoms....get a job lot off t'interweb;) Ebay is the best place I've found so far and the boxes are sealed so don't worry about tampering :p We're johnnies only until after next bubba(forgot how annoying & unsexy they are!), mainly coz we're hoping to ttc come november and it seemed pointless starting the pill after Lottie was born as I'd only be taking it for a few months before I stopped to get it out of my system...plus I didn't fancy puttin extra hormones into my body while BFing DD..oh btw if any of you have girls(I warn everyone about this!) there is 1 thing that EVERYONE no exception forgets to tell you.....baby girls have a mini-period at approx 3/4 days old:eek: Thank god the midwife was on her 1st visit when it happened, otherwise we'd have been straight down A&E:o:D
