just trying to remind people as only 220 people have voted on a site with other 305K
the weather was nice and the pool and hotel itself apart from the rooms they needed a good spruce up, i'll put a link to my trip advisor review which explains everything on my wall

Ah yeah you'd expect something bit more for your money wouldn't you. Least you had good weather and pool etc. Plus time away together is always special :-) Sure you have plenty of good memories of it though.
Yeah I wonder how many of that 300k are active users. The number's gone up about 50k in a few months and I haven't noticed that many newbies. Think people join for the prize draw.
I have voted :-)

yea i think that too that they join for the 25,000 wedding as i've seen the ads on book face and things so i bet thats what it is
the sun is shining!!!!!!!!!! quick get the tanning lotion out!

Hi everyone !! Just popping on quickly (again) cant wait until things slow down a bit and i can get on here and chat a bit more.
Susan,Jill and Nina hope you are having a beautiful wedding day and all your hard work has paid off !!
Lea good luck with the mods job i have voted xx
Sorry to have to keep popping on with short messages. Should be going on on honeymoon on monday but our daughter came out of school on friday with a problem with her eye went straight down to doctors as her left eye is now pointing towards her nose and she is squinting a lot doctor checked her over couldn't find an infection said rest might help but to come back on monday 9am and they will see about getting her an emergency appointment with a eye specialist in the hospital if its still happening. we are due to leave home at 2.30pm on monday so we are packing cases going shopping for bits and bobs in the hope we will be able to go but it dosn't look good as her eye has not changed and her eyesight is far more important than a holiday. its just sad that we cant get excited about honeymoon anymore :-(

Oh well Christmas soon! Its my favourite time of year, in fact I LOVE Winter, and last year it passed me by a bit so this year I can really look forward to it!

I love it! I am so not a summer person. I don't like the sun, and heat. I really hate floaty pastel summer clothes. And just the general expectation to do stuff. I like jumpers, coats, hats and scarves, boots, snow, rain, dark nights, dark mornings, staying in by the fire. I get excited when I have to put the car headlights on in the morning. I know, a bit weird but I look forward to October from January normally. Post-xmas winter loses some of the sparkle! I am a super Christmas obsessive and the whole run up is so exciting. It's probably the only reason I can think of at the moment to have kids :-p

we did it :D saturday was amazing best day ofo my life by far, the sun even made an apperance! :) it went far to fast tho you dont realise how fast it does go, people tell you all the time it goes fast and it really does! had a little problem with my dress, it kept falling down so my boobs were nearly on show and a tack came loose when i kept trying to lift it up but i think only i noticed and made a deal out of it lol, im bruised all up my waist from the dress being so tight to stop it falling down, curse you weight watchers!!!! lol it was an amazing day tho and everyone had a great day...even my sister in law who never enjoyes herself ever, she didnt even have a good time at her own wedding so that was an achievement lol. home now until wednesday when we jet of to cyprus for a week :) hope all you brides had as much a good day as i had xxxx
CommentAuthorKate4
Ah congratulations Susan! So glad you had a great day!
I was bruised the next day too. I had a sore red mark between my b**bs from the bra and bruises at my side where the bodice was tight and red raw marks sort of under my armpits at the top of the bodice. How did those Victorian ladies cope?!
Are you excited for honeymoon, silly qu really, but are you all packed etc? xx
CommentAuthorKate4
Hello ladies!
How are you all? I'm popping on every now and then til I see some pics from Jill and Susan!
I'm currently narrowing down the prof pics to 80 for an album. It's so hard! On to 215 now. Some of main issues are when he's provided both black and white and colour photos of an image. I can't decide which I prefer on so many of them.
This weekend I'm going to buy a load of frames to make a wall gallery for our living room. Also we bought some curtains with our wedding money so will have a go at putting them up. The wedding's not over yet! I am going to string out wedding-related stuff for a little while...

Our photographer puts our album together for us! We can say if there are some we def do or don't want but he does most of it!
How many photos did you start with?
We get our gift list delivery on sat :)
I'm going to get loads of photos printed out too- photo wall is a nice idea!

Started with about 400. Think I want a bit of a gallery as I'm not keen on one big pic of us staring at me and that way I can have a few different ones. Will need to measure our wall space and work out how to arrange frames though, which is a bit boring!
Oooh exciting! Bet you can't wait to unpack!
We asked for money which has so far gone on new curtains in living room, a PC and I am getting a man round to quote for blinds for living room and bedroom. Then we want to buy a new shed and get our driveway done in the spring. Such fun stuff....!
We have got vouchers that I want to spend now! But being sensible and thinking about what to buy first. Burning a hole though....
CommentAuthorKate4
What kind of album are you going for?
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
we have some voucher from M&S that i'm going to use for phot frames but i got one from the green supermarket for our signature photo mount just to protect it while i decide where i'm mounting it.
i have some film strip things from the swedish shop and i'm going to get rid of the photos that are in it at the moment and replace them with wedding photos as we live with hubby's parents we can only really put them in there at the moment. well that and one in there living room that they have asked for

I don't know on the album- we are going to look at the options but we can't meet him til 1st of November :(
I might get a canvas of one of the photos where we are small! Not sure I could get a huge close up of us - it would freak me out!

Ive picked a traditional album not a storybook one. But not sure if I'm having doubts.

a photobook is like a story book so you could have your traditional album and then get a story book made and you can design it

I wasn't keen on storybooks (where the photos are printed onto the pages). But I'm just worried that the traditional one is pretty big and bulky. I've just emailed him asking if I can see the options again. I think I still want traditional but I don't want to regret not having a second look!
You're right I could do my own storybook one on the photo websites.

Yeah me too. I have done a few things. Need to do driving licence asap because I can't do Paypal without it.
Some have changed it over the phone, some want a photocopy and some want the original. Hard to keep up with who will accept what.
I find it weird on facebook seeing the new name. When I comment on something, as it posts and as my name appears I get freaked out! Sure that'll stop eventually.
