Princesskitty where in the country are you? I'd love to help you recreate the Pintrest cakes. I'm in Manchester if that's any use. It seriously would be a pleasure.
I hate to think of you stressing out:( the most important thing is your wedding is about you and DH and your love for each other and the many many years to come you'll have together. Cakes, flowers bills etc are just "things" yeh they stress you both out and Sod's law says they misbehave when you don't want them too but please remember it's your day The start of the rest of your lives together which is so exciting

Sending huge huge hugs and my offer is still there I'd love to help xxx

Thanks Nanamia that is so very kind of you and boy do I wish I was getting married near you! I'm getting married in Stroud in Gloucestershire which is where i'm originally from, I live in Buckinghamshire now. That was so sweet of you to offer that and just that offer, even though you aren't near me to actually help, has really cheered me up! I think my biggest problem is my confidence. I'm not very creative, and I have had so many occasions where I have something great in my mind that I want to make but when i've actually made it it's looked rubbish! But I do feel better after having chatted with you guys, these are secondary things and it's important that my OH and I just enjoy the day and not worry about these things. We were saying to each other last night after receiving the huge tax bill that it's only money (!) and at least nobody is ill, that would be far worse. x

Enjoy your day caitlyn x

Nanamia

Aaw Princesskitty I've just googled and it's 140 miles each way! Might be pushing my luck with DH (my driver) I am certain that your creations won't have looked rubbish! I bet you are super critical cos you've made them yourself. I've got to dash out now but will get my thinking cap on and be back xxx

It's such a shame cos I'd have lovvvvved to help xxx

Nanamia

Trendyjenny I'm glad you feel up to popping on how are you doing? X

Hello, Just a quick note from me as I left the UK in a bit of a last minute dash last weekend and didn't get to say cheerio to you all!

Tomorrow is my wedding day (today where you are!) and I'm just heading off to bed for the night. Wishing you all well for now and look forward to catching up on posts in a couple of weeks!

Take care and hugs to those who need them x

Congratulations - hope all goes well x

As I said yesterday I made some notes as I caught up so here goes:

Noodles - Welcome back and I hope you're still having lots of fun and quality time with your little one! It has crossed my mind on occasion to look into the WI but not really sure what it's about or if it's really me...

Chirpychick - Franklin is so beautiful in that picture! You must be very proud and it's wonderful to hear you're enjoying every minute.

Pinksteps - I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, it's a terrible loss but he is no longer in pain. My thoughts are with you. x

riskyb - I would definitely enter a competition to win a KitchenAid and a Le Ceuset set - two things I have wanted for a very long time!

OMO - Really sorry to hear you've been so poorly, it's rubbish feeling so crappy as you lose motivation to do anything! Hope you can sort the doctor situation out and get some advice you can rely on.

Nanamia - Unfortunately my PC won't show me the picture of the cake you made - gutted as from everyone's comments it sounds amazing!

moneysavingmumofone - HAPPY BRITHDAY for a few days ago, I hope you had a really lovely day!

caitlyn22 - have an absolutely fantastic wedding day, I hope it's the best day ever for you! :T
