    crikey sounds like you've got a busy day tomorrow. i too need to budget! what sort of flowers are you having? are you doing them yourself?

    Nope, that's something I just doesn't trust myself to do. I've managed to find a florist that works from home, therefore far cheaper as no overheads and she's fairly young so kinda gets me...not that i'm that young being that I am 33!! I'm hoping, pending on how they season, to have sweet peas as my main flower. Again keeping it very simple, bit of foliage, perhaps a few roses in mine but literally want her to hand tie them together with a bit of straw like stuff and perhaps a few pearls here and there as have some on my dress.

    It's weird as I have lots of ideas but struggle with putting it all together - hoping on the day it'll all fit.

    Going back to money - budgeting is my real downfall. I always start with good intentions but still haven't learnt. This is a major goal for me in 2012, have to if I want to clear these debts!!

    Today's to-do-list

    - post invites written at post office (check size)
    - visit friend and go for coffee at garden centre whilst looking for bits for wedding
    - body pump and body combat classes at gym
    - no caffeine
    - check online banking

    That's enough, heading out now and will hopefully post back with success on all after the gym....if I can move!

    good luck for the gym, v jealous, could do with a good workout at the gym at the moment. Your flowers sound lovely, really starting to get the feel of your theme for the wedding. hows the head? when i gave up tea i had the worst headache for days. 33 isn't old i'm 30, i'll soon be catching you up!
