    Oh Lucky! Please don't be so hard on yourself!:( There's no way you could ruin any photos. You have a real beauty which shines out on this forum and I'm sure people can see it in RL as well!:A:A

    Am very relieved that DS1 hasn't got any broken bones. Sending you hugs tonight. :)
    With family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!

    The sweet kind hearted DS2 sounds like a treasure like you. He will make his way in the world don't you worry. Glad DS1 has nothing broken although sounds painful! My cousin broke his neck in one of those last week! He will be coming to my Dads wedding in a brace.... thank goodness nothing like that happen to DS1 for your wedding photos!

  • Thanks everyone. I had an impromptu evening with my friends last night, arranged so late I had to get back out of my pjs (8pm :rotfl:). I could have gone in my pjs as it was just at the house next door, but couldn't bring myself to do it!! Was nice to have a giggle. DH and I have had a 'day off' today too. We didn't go to the gym and went out for lunch and a mooch round the shops instead. I think we needed it and I feel happier for it. I also saw a nice dress that could be bridesmaid worthy :D.

    Lost 1.5lbs at chub club last night :j. Probably put it back on at lunchtime today!

    DS1 went back to school today but is still limping. DS2 has a friend here for tea but I'm taking him home soon Xx

    Thank you Lucky....lovely to hear you are now feeling a little bit more upbeat.... Xx:D
  • Hi all, couple of busy days, some good some not so much.

    DS1 had a full on panic attack in the car when I was taking him to school yesterday morning :(. Sweating, shaking, crying, retching. Turns out someone was being less than nice to him. Lovely Headmaster took him in and sorted it all out, so thankfully all has been much happier since. I ate several bars of chocolate to calm my nerves though until I picked him up and he confirmed he was happy. Why do I do it??

    Yesterday was a NSD :j. First one in yonks.

    We've chosen my bridesmaid dress! Thought it looked really nice and then we took some photos :eek:. Not feeling good about myself right now and doubly regretting the chocolate binge.

    Ps. I'm sure you will look lovely in your dress, we all think we look awful at times when I'm sure we really don't xx

    Bullies get me so angry :( Thank goodness the headmaster is taking it seriously. Re the photos - remember the camera adds 10lbs, so in reality you look better than you think you do. How long now until the wedding? You may still have time to lose some more weight. You can do it :)

  • Thanks everyone. Wedding is 6 weeks tomorrow so hopefully I can drop a stone or so. Will just sew my mouth up......
