    Congratulations Ruby! Excellent news! :j

    I'm glad Poppy had a good birthday weekend Wendz, she's a lucky girl! :)

    I'm impressed that there's another McFly lover here Susie! :wave: They had to drag about 10 girls over the barrier at the front on Saturday as they were all fainting, glad we held back! At the end Danny jumped over the barrier and I think he was going for the old crowd surf but it went wrong as the girls got over excited and just dragged him down so he had to get rescued by security! :eek:

    Not long until the wedding Poddle! :j Are you super excited/nervous as hell?!

    Gosh, can't believe it's been a month! Go Grace! She's doing so brilliantly putting on weight, fingers crossed she'll be home soon :)

    Time is absolutely flying this year - and I don't just think it's me! Getting married in 9 days - it's CRAZY!

    Birdie, I'm super excited AND a bit nervous. Is that normal?!

    Plans are mostly on track I think, it's just the logistics I'm struggling with at the moment - just working out where our car will be and how and when I can pack! The un-MSE answer is to buy duplicates of all my essential cosmetics so I can pack for honeymoon asap. Right...?

    I'm looking forward to my hen do this weekend and then it's ALL GO. Can't wait! :D

    Sounds normal, I was a wreak!

    Lol we hadn't even ironed for our honeymoon let alone packed for it by the time we got married, we did it all the day after we were married - not nessisarily the best plan! Personally with the cosmetics I'd just make a list of last minute things to go in your bag (phone, make up bag, chargers, toothbrush etc)

    Grace behaving a bit more today, although still closely monitored. Made the staff raspberry dark choc brownies, and brownies with white chocolate chunks to celebrate her 1 month. Getting exceedingly happy care today as a result. One doctor even said the raspberry one was the best cake he'd ever had, which made my day. Took some to the day assessment unit as well for my bp check, and they saw me straight away even though I later found out there was a 1 hour wait. They also took out my 'dissolvable' stitches as apparently if they haven't dissolved by now they need to be manually removed. She pulled out a length of stitches about 8" long so clearly nothing much dissolved at all.

    I'll have to remember your trick for good service Dinah! ;) I'm sure they're all very happy to be appreciated, they won't want to get rid of you now though! :)

    What are you up to for your Hen weekend Poddle? I think you've said before but I've forgotten it if you have :o

    Nothing wrong with being excited and nervous about your wedding, you'd be odd if you weren't! :)

    Oh, remember my little rant about our friends a couple of weeks ago, the tight ones who luckily don't visit often? Got a funny/shocking update! :) The guy rang his Mum last week to get her address as they've moved recently and she thought that he might be sending some flowers as a thank you for putting them up for the week when they came down. A couple of days passed and no flowers turned up... but they got a diet plan from the guy's fiancee! :eek: Fair enough she's a nutritionist so thinks she knows everything but HOW RUDE to send something like that when it hasn't been requested! She has got some serious balls to basically tell her in-laws-to-be that they're too fat, as a protest we're all threatening to put on loads of weight so we ruin the wedding photos! :rotfl:

    The more you tell me about these two Birdie the more deranged they sound! They just don't seem to have any social skills at all.

    Happy one month Grace! She is doing so well.

    Bet the doctors and nurses were loving the cake.

    Poddle - you must be so excited for the wedding. Have a great hen do.

    Birdie - those friends sound so rude!
