    See, I must be one immoral person as I would have no worries about nipping off early because of a "migraine":o

    Good News - I no longer have to go straight to delivering invitations from from work...

    Bad News - It's because I've got a flat tyre and got to get that sorted instead!

    Just been out to get lunch and seen i had a flat tyre, pumped it up at a petrol station but it's already going down again so got to get it replaced straight from work booooo, bad timing (esp cost-wise!!).

    Don't think I can go home 'sick' as was off last week 1 day with a bug (first time I've ever thrown a sickie, I was hungover lol), then had Friday off, and got next Monday off, I have to do work sometime.... says me, on here and not working.

    Wondering if it's immoral to pretend to be ill and go home early...

    Surely the anticipation is making you sick... :D
  • I have booked a bridal appointment for this Saturday to get an idea of what I like.

    I am not looking forward to it, but it has to be done. I hope the people are nice...

    Did those of you that ordered from Landy or Milly try dresses on in a shop before going online?

    Yes, I did. Otherwise I wouldn't have know what suited me! Thank god I did go and try dresses on as what I thought I wanted actually didn't suit me at all when I tried it on, and that was what I was going to order.

    I did.

    I tried on what seemed like hundreds. The last dress I tried on was the one I knew was for me. This is the one I have ordered from there.;)

    Yes I tried loads on a couple of friends and I took over a small local shop and she let us have the run of the place.

    I went and tried loads on and then ordered something completely different to the 2 that I couldn't choose between :rotfl:

    Well.... I got home and there was no slip telling me where it had been left for me, so I knocked on both next door neighbours, one didn't have it, the other wasn't in last night or this morning, and no-one has bought it round to me yet so I still don't have it!!

    Am going to call TNT to see if they can tell me which number they left it at.
