    So, the wedding is getting closer --- I get butterflies now --- and I am thinking about what to put in the guests rooms as 'welcome packs'? I would like to pop some stuff in, has anyone got any ideas? Nothing too extravagent, but something which shows we appreciate them coming.

    Diet going terribly, although slightly back on track this week as I don't have a birthday!

    Having amazing fun on pintrest, found lots of ideas to do with the kids and for the wedding. at least that is February half term sorted! Thank you Ms shopper for introducing me to that.

    We are still undecided about who will read poems/sign register and could do with sending that off to the registrar this week. Starting to feel the pressure a little more. Maybe that will stop me stuffing my face. Think of the dress Megan, think of the dress.

    Hope everyone else's plans are coming along well.

    Ideas for guests' rooms, hmm. What's your budget per guest? Maybe some lavender bags or mini jams?

    Pinterest is fab! I am totally addicted!!!!!!!!! :D

    I too need to think of the dress, I am finding it hard to cut out the junk, sigh. But I have to! I'll kick myself on the wedding day if I don't.

    Oh btw, I haven't updated my thread in ages, must get back to it :o

    I had planned on relabelling some bottles of cava (with our details) for my family as they are coming the night befire, BUT my dad went and bought some v.posh champagne on offer for them!

    My sister had mini jams as her wedding favours - they were lovely. I might just put a pack together - things to do, taxi numbers, places to eat etc. I will get thinking!

    YES, please update your thread... Did you find the dress of your dreams....

    Thank you! They only look green in the light or when I cry! All I see on that picture is the ig frown line on my forehead?!!! It is a rubbish picture - I just had to point the camera and hope!

    I have pictures to take tomorrow, so hopefully it will be more the style I want.

    Megan, you are so pretty and what strikingly lovely eyes!!! Love that pic of your room too, I love lots of light and the voile on the windows will soften it. Fab!!
