    :)

    I don't mind really - fairly large, with at least 60 pages.

    How about this?

    Only 35 pages but could use both sides? Or ask the seller if they can do 60?

    That's nice, but I'm not sure about the 'woodchip wallpaper' texture on the cover! :rotfl:

    I found this at lunchtime in Paperchase, reckon it would be lovely as a guest book and I could 'pretty up' the front. It has good thick pages inside too.

    http://www.paperchase.co.uk/invt/00489627/ - cream pages, 30 sheets (not enough sheets)

    http://www.paperchase.co.uk/invt/00333125/ - brown pages, 50 sheets (I prefer the cream pages but the bow on this one is nice)

    I went and had a peek at them in Coast yesterday after I saw your post - they're gorgeous! I would have bought them but they were a bit grubby from the shop floor and a little bit high for me... but tempting!

    Sorry for lurking :o I'm a May bride, but that thread scares me as they're all way ahead of me in planning terms!

    Hey, you can always join in here poddle! I'm July, but I'm also way behind where I should be! I should call this 'the disorganised brides support group'!! :rotfl:

    Thanks for your post btw. I haven't seen them IRL yet at all, and am very happy to hear that they're so nice! I hope they're not TOO high lol! :o
