anxiously awaiting wedding dress delivery

So,

I ignored some peoples advice and ordered a wedding dress from an ebay seller in China. I'm not getting married until July 2013 so have plenty of time to find another one should this turn into a horror story.

Anyhow, it is currently sat in the Middlesbrough Fedex Facility (been there since 5:41am this morning).

It was estimated to be delivered yesterday before 6pm so me being me and very impatient decided to ring and enquire when it would be delivered as it is getting delivered to my work and the office is only open until 5pm and closed on weekends (I was hoping I could just go and pick it up).

Apparently it was loaded onto the delivery van at 7:28am and is currently out for delivery, I hope it arrives before I leave.

Pointless post but I'm just so excited I had to tell someone, unfortunately the only person I can tell at the moment is H2B and I can't really tell him.

Looks like it may be here, well there's a guy with a Fedex parcel just walking up to the building (fingers crossed), I shall keep you posted and put some pictures up at the weekend.

    Thank you, I'm so nervous but excited. I'm also a little disappointed that I have to wait until Saturday to open it too.

    Thank you Gleek, I finally got it to work. hahaha


    haha (hopefully)

    I signed up to photobucket :)

    This is the parcel, it's kinda dirty so I'll have to clean it before I open it.

    Next question (I'm full of them today)

    how do i make the image smaller as it's kinda big.

    Why do you have to wait until Saturday to open it? I would have gone to the toilets at work and ripped it open!

    When's the wedding, I'm coming, Ive got your address, A luv a good wedding, me.
    Really, you would be better deleting the whole picture and just let us see the dress when youve sorted it.

    I'm excited for you too:j:j:j
