    Ooohh Cinny that's so exciting! Lol Tete, I forgot about that classic DOTD!

    Well done for the no spends Dinah :) Sorry about the NIM job situation but it sounds at least like everyone has a lot of respect for him. Hopefully when the qualifications are done he will be moving back up the ladder.

    Not much news here, we got our house rented out for when we go away, now we need to start looking for a place over there :)

    Glad you got the school you wanted for Poppy, Wendz. She is so sweet and the absolute image of you.

    Oh my days, I forgot about that dress!! :rotfl::rotfl: It's a thing of mystic wonder, I still have no idea how you get in it?! Like, obviously the top part is an extremely flawless hat, but do you crawl on up inside the body part? Is there a hidden zip? But all that aside.. I just don't think I have the figure for it :(

    That's so good you've found someone to rent your place while you're away, Lara :) Always imagined your place to be a chic-ly quirky place that anyone would snap up! (kind of just took your wedding style and projected it into an imaginary house tbf!) How long is it until you go now?

    Hope everyone has had nice weather! Was about 17deg here yesterday and so sunny I could have cried, and probably did in my sleep. OH has flown away to Ireland for the next couple days so Ryder and I chilled out in the kitchen last night with the door open. Not sure what I think about having fresh air in my house but I'm coping.

    eek so exciting about the potential vegas wedding Cinny and sounds like it would be perfect for you.

    I got all excited about a rare Tete post and all I got was a tampon dress!!! :rotfl:

    Glad to hear things are slotting into place for the move Lara! So exciting! :)

    I don't envy you at the moment Wendz! Was so glad that my really big stage was over winter, it was lovely insulation (although poor DH was frozen the whole time as I couldn't have the heating on very high! :o), must not be fun when the weather is like this! Hope you spend as much time as Poppy allows with your feet up and an ice lolly!

    Phewwww, happy to see you've posted, Dinah! Was getting worried you'd slipped off the face of the internet again :o Looking forward to a standard monster post :D (no pressure but I have high expectations ;))

    Hope you're feeling a bit better, Wendz! OH's Brother's partner (phew, mouthful) is heavily pregnant at the moment and I'd hate to be in her shoes now it's warm!

    Think I might have made the most MSE wedding dress purchase of the thread? Was already reduced from £38 to £10, then I found a discount code to make it £9 in white :o Will actually be able to wear it more than once though which is sweet :) Picturing it in my head with (hopefully) long hair and a (they better still be in fashion and easy to buy) flower crown and some heeled penny loafers. Boom! Weddings are easy!

    Playroom looks fab Dinah (after :D), think I must be the only one that wasn't shocked by the number of toys! Doesnt look too dissimilar to DS and DD toy room. Its so easy for it to all build up, even when you tell people not to, they get carried away at Christmas and birthdays. I also kept Noahs baby toys which Poppy now plays with as well as her own. I do like a nice tidy toy room though andas soon as they are in bed I am straight in there sorting it all out, I do wonder why I bother sometimes :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear about NIMs job, thats so rubbish that you have to suffer a drop in pay because of there error!

    Hope your doing ok Wendz, how long do you have left now?

    And finally hope everyone else is ok, and sorry I haven't been around for a while! Just been plodding along as usual, slowly chipping away at the debts. One big thing is the car finance is finally paid off :T

    Oooh, awesome Disney shoes! :)

    I met my friend's 6 day old baby on Saturday and oh em gee he was so lovely! I got all broody for a tiny newborn... but then realised that *my* 'tiny' newborn was 2.5lb heavier than this little squish and any others I have will probably be similar so that helped me get rid of the broodiness! :p A huge chunk with long legs and big paws just isn't as cute as a dainty little thing!

    Well done on the wickedly MSE wedding dress Cinny! Martin would be so proud! Hope you can get an awesome flower crown in the summer sales! :)

    Nice to see you Flower. :wave:

    Eeeee, congrats on paying the car off Flower!! That's a massive milestone :D Nice to see you on here too :)

    Chunky babies are the business, Birdie! I can't believe that unbroodied you :p I was so scared to hold my cousin's kid because she was a little peach of a thing. Hoping our niece comes out like a 10lb meatloaf so I'm don't have to decline holding her in front of OH's family and be shamed forever more :rotfl:

    Good idea on the sales for a flower crown! That way I could grab a couple and see how I feel on the day :) I was already so excited and overplanning for our trip there, this has sent me into overdrive :rotfl: Trying not to bug people irl with plans for something that is so far away, and I don't want it to become all I think/talk about so sorry if I have little blurbs on here to get it out of my system :o:o
