    Good morning my lovelies!

    I went to a friend's wedding yesterday, luckily the rain held off although it was a bit chilly considering it's the end of July! Hope the weather is a bit nicer for our wedding next year. It was still a lovely day though & I had a great time, & managed to be very DFW considering all the free food & booze & that there was no evening do! I did check for surveys etc when I got back, but other then that didn't really do much on the DFW front :o

    Littlebigspender - Hope you had a great time at the party
    Amara - Ah another wedding, must have been a very popular day yesterday as some friends of mine also had another wedding to go to! Hope you had a good time

    Did you hit the quote button at the bottom of my post? If not I think all you need to do is type
    at the start, then at the end type [ /QUOTE] but without the space!
