Hello everyone,

Thank you for the birthday wishes on Thursday, sorry for not being around much but yesterday was lost to a hangover, & Friday was just so busy I ran out of time! But I did read all the messages so thank you, I had a fab day - the sun was shining & I got to touch a lion Seriously awesome day that made me forget all the recent wedding stress which was just what I needed.

A belated happy birthday to Wannabee, thanks for starting the thread.
DNMS - Your Brighton trip sounds fab! I can't wait to go for my hen do but wish we had planned it a little earlier as there weren't any cheap rooms available unless we wanted to go to a dive, I don't know how people coped without tripadvisor!
KJP - Good luck with your exam on Tuesday.
Natlie - Congratulations! I think you are utterly mad though as my wedding is 30th June & I've been planning this for ageeees now, although my guest list is a lot bigger! I actually kinda envy your 10 person guest list, that'll keep costs down nicely Good luck with all your planning.

Today I have/will:-

• [STRIKE]Food from stores[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Log calories using free app[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Charge phone via pc[/STRIKE]
• Check for surveys
• [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
• Check online banking
• [STRIKE]Heating is off[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Work on wedding related tasks[/STRIKE]
• Take a look at diary to ensure I am up to date & prepared for everything coming
• Dinner from meal plan - Risotto
• Find CC bill that has mysteriously disappeared as it needs to be paid soon!
• Use Groupon before it runs out...idiot!
• [STRIKE]Washing on eco setting[/STRIKE]

My sister got married February 2011 there were 180 people there it was lovely but her MIL paid for the do and had invited random friends/family so there were only 12 of our family and nearly everyone else was??? the meal was poor as it was mass produced overcooked veg etc and the dessert was awful! we are going to my friends french restaurant - the foods amazing and as its a normal evening friends/family can come if they want.

I will be a lot calmer when I get my dress although I do have access to my sisters dress from last year or a dress I bought a few yrs ago that my mum would have to alter.

Good luck with your wedding too

Congrats Natlie, how exciting :T

A quietish day here today, not really done much. Hope everyone has had a great day and achieved all that they wanted. The sun has been shining here and although a little cooler its been lovely, am hoping weathermen have got it wrong and its not going to be as bad as they anticipate.

Back tomorrow, night all xx
