    Hi all!!

    Still no movement on my March thread but I'm on less than 11 weeks now!!!

    Underwear wise I have a ivory strapless bra and thong (never normally wear them but was told it was best as they don't ride up etc!!) and then am considering either ivory tights or ivory stockings. They won't be seen though so am not too fussed, tights avoid thigh rub more than stockings though!!

    Just been putting lots of RSVPs on my spreadsheet which is very exciting, and we're booking our honeymoon this week too. Also been confirming bits and bobs with suppliers so doing pretty well :)

    Lots of things to order though; vases for flowers, thank you gifts etc etc

    xx

    I managed to resist the wine charms :rotfl:, I am sooooo proud of myself!

    Scoobie, I don't really know what to say about the situation with your sister, I am clearly a very different personality to you because I would have absolutely no problem telling her she was welcome to not come if wearing a dress that I wanted her to wear for just a few hours of her life was that much of an inconvenience to her! I don't do the whole be nice because it's family as she clearly isn't extending you the same courtesy! Oh, and I am a mean c0w ;)

    I did do a massive LOL @ chub rub because I know exactly what you mean! I haven't really thought this through as I have peep toe shoes so can't really even wear stockings/tights or anything similar, oops. Back to the drawing board on that one.

    I did however, manage to buy a fab treasure chest for all our tags to go in, just in case I haven't mentioned it already I have a little sign for the reception asking our guests to write a tip for a happy marriage, an anecdote, a joke etc and we will open them after a year (when honeymoon wears off!). And now I have my treasure chest :D

    I've sorted out the fab glass painting lady to do the mens gifts, I am doing them little baskets with cufflinks, socks, a tumbler each, a mini of their fave drink and some hotel chocolat bits. Not sure what to do for my mum or daughter really, I am going to get the florist providing the bay trees to do some flowers for his mum (I don't know why, she's done eff all!). I did however, manage to get myself in the good books today as someone mentioned grooms parents having buttonholes and I panicked! My family all have flowery things as they are part of wedding party - mum walking me down aisle, brother doing the 'dads speech' but I hadn't thought about his parents! Quickly text the MiL who said they would like them.....disaster averted!

    :o

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    I am having a bit of a relationship crisis this morning and really need some advice. I can't talk to anyone in my 'real life' and I feel very alone. Don't want to post a big advice thread like some people do and have it all out there for people to rip to shreds. I am in such a state I can't stop crying I feel sick and I have toget myself together to go to work but please could I PM one for you ladies later? I need to get another perspective on this and I literally have no one to talk to. Sorry to ask I just don't know who else to ask.

    You're welcome honey! I know it's silly to say but try to not to think about it.

    Although if you're that upset perhaps you shouldn't go in? xx

    Got to - first day back! Also, it will take my mind off it, I would go mental if I sat here on my own all day. But thinking about it I might go in a little later - don't have to start until 9am today technically as there are no kids in, I usually get there well before 8 anyway to do some work but maybe I will slow down a bit this morning.

    Ok, I need to talk a out this, am going to jump on the pc (too annoying to type on iPad) and send you a pm - thank you x
