The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

Aww Wendz, so glad you found a dress! I'm so overwhelmed by looking online, I don't know what I want anymore!

Hello! :wave:

Great news about finding a wedding dress Wendz! :j Can we have a sneaky peek?! Ruby, I remember getting a little overwhelmed looking online too, you've got to try dresses on and try loads of different styles because you can never guess what you'll fall in love with. I hadn't even considered getting a 'big' dress for my wedding and was just trying on chiffon Grecian styles (with the odd massive dress for fun!) but then chose a satin dress with a fitted bodice and long train!

Well done to Ryder for his first dog show!

I had a great time on my friend's hen weekend! Cottage was in the middle of nowhere (no phone signal, no shops, closest pub was 3 miles down a winding overgrown country road etc!) but it was lovely and we were super lucky with the weather. We spent hours and hours in the hot tub, was fab! Went to Go Ape on Saturday which was scary but good fun (well looking back it was, at the time all I could think was 'crap crap crap crap!':p)

Can't find apic online as can't remember the make but when we get it will try and find one. It is quite fitted at the top with one strap and flowers on the strap and on the waist and then sort of goes straight down. Definately agree with what you say about trying different styles on. I tried on a few different ones and the two that were my favourites were quite different. I tried on a tea length one as i like the look of them but it didn't suit me at all.

Hen weekend sounds like it was fun. I have done go ape before, is fun.

Ha! I felt exactly the same about Go Ape - aching today much?! Sounds fun We went to a lovely wedding on Saturday. Another barn do, but pretty special. They got around the 'no amplified music' rule by having a silent disco - SO FUN!

Wendz, how exciting that you've found a dress! Yes please to a sneaky peak

Ruby, I'm quite jealous of your weekend eating! That's good about your train ticket - in lots of places they get rid of the peak charges in July & August.

I've just booked a ticket into London tomorrow - I'm treating myself to a day out £13 travelcard, free entry to Science Museum and Serpentine and a cheap dinner with a friend I haven't seen for ages!

Loving the Ryder pics, Cinny! Can't believe he's so big already.

Did I mention I found the perfect job? I mean, "job". Puppy boarder It's a volunteer role for Guide Dogs and basically you have to provide B&B for puppies for 12-16 weeks. The best thing for us (as we're normally both at work all day) is that you drop off the pup at puppy school in the morning and pick them up in the evening. Would be amazeballs! We'd love a dog but it just wouldn't be fair leaving them in the flat all day. This is definitely an option; we're just not sure that our very nervous kitty would be able to handle it

That sounds like a great 'job' Poddle! Oh and I am aching today! Got a few bruises and really sore thighs from the harness, was walking like John Wayne yesterday! :eek:

Silent disco sounds really cool! What a clever idea!

The dress sounds pretty Wendz, hope you manage to find out the name of it so you can get a picture!

The dress sounds gorgeous, Wendz can't wait to see it when you can find us a picture!

I want a free food filled weekend!! Mainly cake, please! Tempted to walk Ryder past the shop tonight and pop in for a Swiss roll

LOVE the sound of that "job", Poddle. You should do it! Your kitty would be fine I'm sure, no doubt just keep her distance I've been looking at fostering huskies/mals while they wait to find a forever home. But I think Rich would kill me! Enjoy your day out tomorrow

I'd hate Go Ape, Birdie! You're braver than me but it doesn't take much

What's a silent disco? I don't think I'd like go ape either but DH would I think.

Yay to finding the dress wendz. So exciting x

Morning everyone

Great news on finding a dress Wendz - would also love to see a pic when you can!

Well done to Ryder on his wins! He is gorgeous isn't he.

I want that 'job' Poddle! Squishy labrador puppies? Yes please Silent discos are so much fun!

Glad you had a good time at the hen weekend Birdie. Go Ape is fun but definitely painful!

My weekend was dull - I had a horrible bout of cystitis so sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself for most of it Although I did make a good start crocheting a blanket and OH and I did get out for sushi on Sunday. I started the Harcombe diet yesterday - I thought after gaining 4lbs during my previous 2 weeks of 'dieting' it was time to get serious!

Hope all is well with Dinah, NIM and Grace x

Yes he is Can't wait for the next show, although peoples comments started to bug me by the end. Got told he's part German Shepherd, no two ways about it apparently. He's really not! He just looks a little funny for having an akita's "mask" and boxy snout on a husky face. This is a husky x german shepherd. This is an akita x husky (aka, Ryder's double!) Wish people would just hush their faces out. *shakes fist*

How's the diet going? I really wouldn't be able to manage on strict diets, as soon as I'm told I can't eat something any more I instantly want it more than ever. It's like this month, we can't really afford any take aways. What's the only thing I want to eat? Full on kebab. I don't even like full on kebabs!

Let me know if the diet works beccie. I lost 1lb this week taking me to a stone lost but that now makes me 141lbs :mad: I really want to get under 140lbs so have 2lbs left but i am really struggling.
