Oh well done you're almost finished then! Yeah take it easy on hen do! And no falling over!
What photos are you printing for canvas? Places?
I am back to zumba tomorrow. Woman on a mission now. Have missed it (not been since Jan!!!)
Invites will go out next week.
Next weekend i'm tagging my favours and painting my letters and making my sugarcraft buttons with my mum as a way to get her involved more (lives far away).
Still to buy now are gifts for everyone but the flower girls and the girls' accessories plus h2b's shoes. And maybe a new tiara if can't take old one back.

Eeee yay! Do you know how you want your hair?
Good idea with the drink. I barely drink (can't cope with hangovers!) so I can't blame that for my unhealthy lifestyle!
Thanks, I love my buttons too. For all the nagging I've had to do to get him going, my bro's come good.

Morning ladies! Sorry not been on since I last posted smarties -dont know what I done to my shoulder, pulled a muscle on one side and must have been putting more stress on the other side as I turned over carrying on with my son and felt the other side rip :( on the mend now, or at least I can turn my neck. Day 3 back on the hardcore diet and going well, I'm feeling positive about it so fingers crossed it continues. Smarties I dont drink alot either, I just cant hack a hangover no matter how much I love a night out lol x

Motorbikes, how cool! Bet they'll be a talking point!
I'm off to zumba tonight. I love my instructor she's a real laugh and not too thin either.
Oh no Jill, least it's improving now! I can't cope with a hangover at all. I'm useless it only takes one glass of wine and i'm so ill the next day!
CommentAuthorJill
Zumba's great, I went a couple of times but gave up.... would love to go back but work backshift now and look after my son in the mornings so it's a bit of a no go. I dont know why I dont do more exercise, I do actually love it x

I had it - my hairdresser was amazing, i think she was a bit afraid by how much hair i have and whether it was going to be too heavy but it was so secure :) She said if i changed my mind and wanted another trial we had loads of time to do another one

Ah thank you. They look better in real life. The colour is fab and matches the bm dress perfectly. Unfortunately my bro sent the printers an earlier version of the table plan so that's come the wrong colour (took a few goes to print the right shade!) but he is going to reorder that this week.
I want to put mum and dad on both but not sure!
Some other bits we had done:
table numbers
sweet buffet sign
postbox
table plan
favours

I love the lovespoons :) Im sure no one will notice the table plan colour
