    Gald to see I'm not the only dropper! I didn't know there was a medical term for it ;) I had a lovely Cath Kidston case for my phone but it was a slide in one, so obviously I cracked the top part and now have an ugly rubber one to prevent further damage - at work they call it my phone condom :o

    (And I saw Harry Potter again last night...this time in 3D!)

    It's so sad that we droppers have to cover our nice sexy gadgets with ugly rubber condoms! :rotfl: I sometimes have to take my phone out of the case if I'm using a teeny bag when I go out and I'm always amazed at how small and sleek it is out of the big pink case! Then I spend all night worrying that I'm going to drop it so don't take it out of my teeny bag!

    I want to see Harry Potter again! :) I'm going to see Bridesmaids tomorrow night, looking forward to it, wanted to see it ever since I first saw it advertised! :)

    Hi guys, yuk I am so rough! Went home and just puked all afternoon, couldn't take a sip of water without it coming back up - I was SO thirsty it was like torture! Have managed to get some cereal down this morning but my stomach is still cramping like mad :( Should have impulse-bought chocolate instead. I'm annoyed because it's stuff like this that keeps putting me back in my GNR training.

    I'm not so much a dropper (touch wood) - more of a spiller! :o

    Well done on the no charges this month Dinah, it's payday today for me so going to have a little look at my finances.

    Sounds like a good idea to prepare for a relaxing day on Thurs CMD, I'm sitting here surrounded by piles of ironing and it's not very relaxing at all, but I don't have the energy to get up and do anything about it.

    Oh Tete you poor thing. Hope you feel better soon xxx

    Bridesmaids is brilliant Birdie. My favourite scene is in the jewellery shop when she is arguing with the teenage girl!

    Aww Tete, hugs, sounds like that horrible lurgy I had at the end of June. Maybe it has migrated from Lancaster to the North East. Hope you're feeling better soon. I had 2 bad days then back to normal-ish. I haven't been to see Bridesmaids yet, my girl friends are always terminally busy. With good reason, one has started her own business, one is a few days away from finishing off her phd. Others live in Lancaster. But it's not the same.

    Feeling a bit down today as I have slimmed down to 8.5stone and I still can't zip up my wedding dress on my own. Someone has to shoehorn me into it. And of course said girlies aren't around atm. Accidentally popped off a button as well, whoops. There's loads of plucking on the back of the dress too. I'm so out of love with it :( Everything seems to suck at the minute. How can anyone enjoy wedding planning? I can't wait for it all to be over :(:(

    Afternoon everyone

    Tete - you poor thing, hope you feel better soon.

    CMD - you have to laugh at these things, I am starting to think i should start babyproofing the place. Glad the phone is OK. Must be a lot easier cleaning without Max there messingit up again hehe.

    Birdie - I am pretty clumsy with stuff too, I have a standard nokia and it seems to cope quite well.

    Hi everyone else!

    We have just taken Poppy swimming for the first time this morning. She looked so cute in her swimming costume. She seemed to like it, she didn't cry anyway. I dunked her under at the end and she just looked a bit shocked!

    Lara - I am sure the dress will fit perfect when someone can help you get in it. Hope you can start to enjoy the planning again.

    Aw Tete that sounds horrible, I agree it sounds more like a bug. Hope you feel better soon.

    And sorry to hear you're feeling so stressed too Lara. Does this dress fit once its on? There a quite a few of my clothes I can't get into unassisted (I blame short arms and general lack of flexibility!) but they're fine once they are on so I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure lots of people have said this to you but once the day is here, you won't care about little things that may (but probably won't!) go wrong. Hope you feel better too.

    Wendz, Poppy sounds adorable!

    There were a couple of noisy kids last night doing their best to ruin the film for everyone - if I hadn't been sat so far away I would have definitely had words! It reminded me that I'm too intolerant of people to go to the cinema too often. When I went to see Mamma Mia a group of ladies came in late, sat right in front of us and proceeded to dish out a multibag of crisps. CRISPS! In the CINEMA! They should force everyone to sign a code of conduct before they sell tickets to films I think! I quite fancied Bridesmaids but any more poor cinema ettiquette could tip me over the edge!
