Eeeeeeeee i'm in a very excited mood today! 10 weeks and 4 days! Payday tomorrow so I am going to get nail varnish for my toes that matches my colour theme, yay! Simple things...!
I think it's normal to worry. I am going to be reliant on my rescue remedy soon. I am mega neurotic at the best of times!

Oh me too. I can't let stuff go until it's sorted. Drives h2b mad. The wedding is just heightening my anxiety/worry issues.

Ooh I've been moaning all day about painful achy arms (I stupidly lifted 10 big heavy boxes in work yesterday and got them up two floors in our building because the delivery driver refused to do it and the porters were too busy). Just rolled up my sleeves and my upper arms are black and blue! Oops.
No heavy lifting in the run up to the wedding! I look like a bruiser!
However I must have burned some cals!

It does Nic. Going so fast, good because I'm excited, bit scary at the same time!
We got the last family rsvps back last night from h2b's aunt and uncle, his 3 cousins and 2 of their gfs. All said no. I'm so gutted for him. The only family he will have there will be his mum and dad, brother and sil. I have 20 on my side :-(
He said he's more angry than upset as they gave lame excuses. His other aunt and uncle are ill and housebound so can't come either.
I'm upset for him though, and his mum, she was embarrassed at bil's wedding when they got 3 others there so how is she going to feel with even fewer this time :-(
Never mind. I keep telling him they don't matter. We'll have a fab day anyway.
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
oh sorry to hear he has so few people there :-( at least he's not upset about it, it is frustrating when people RSVP no

On the other hand, the people I expected to rsvp no have done (plus three unexpected nos) which leaves us with 76 which is exactly what I was hoping for. Booked for 77 even though we invited 92.
CommentAuthorKate4
ooh just been invited to the Warrington Business Awards as the uni I work at is sponsoring the event and has a table. By sheer luck I've ended up on it with the two girls from my office so that should be a giggle. It's week before my hen do. Another outfit to find....!
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M

Hmm I don't think so. It's quite posh and evening gowns are the norm - but not essential. I don't own any long dresses. Have my eye on a couple of the bay that aren't too pricey. Failing that might have to get a shorter one. I do have plenty of dresses but they're all either very weddingy or night outy! Going shopping at weekend so will see what I can find.
Might get my hair/make up trial done that day too so I look posher than normal! haha!
CommentAuthorKate4
Did my weekly weigh in at mil's last night. 2lb off :-D
4lb more to meet my absolutely ideal target. Doubtful that'll happen by Monday but i'm happy that after weeks and weeks of trying I finally got past the weight I was stuck at for so long!

ah thanks :-) I was pleased as I have been so good for a few weeks now and the effort i put in at swimming and zumba so far this month was far beyond my normal efforts!
How are you all getting on?
I also had some good news today. The masters essay I did on Sm**ch rings got me a really good mark! Woo hoo! My tutor suggesting I focus on something weddingy as that's where my head is at at the moment paid off! It was quite easy to write because it interested me!
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Well done smarties on both the weight and the essay :)
We have ordered our cheese cake :) Think I am going to have a wedding orientated weekend

I am having a spa day followed by a meal in town on the 4th Aug. So far enjoying being alone, I lived alone for years before we got together and am very independant so should love this weekend, on the other hand we have lived together 5 years so I could have changed!? When is your oh on his?
CommentAuthorNicsquared
He is the weekend after you! I am thinking of either having a girly weekend or going home. He is off to wales for the weekend.
I am really funny, I like being alone and having time alone but I cant sleep in the house alone :s

Whens yours & what you doing?
I needs some advise I have been looking at card boxes on the bay of e, I have seen a cardboard flat packed one 50cm high & 25cm square for £6.94 does that sound like a good deal and do you you think it will be suitable once I have put some ribbon or something on it?
CommentAuthorNicsquared
I have seen lots that look really good once decorated and started as plain boxes so I'm sure it would be fine :) Sounds like a good price
I'm off to center parcs in 2 weeks :)

CommentAuthorKate4

I had a productive wkend. Tagged my 80 love spoon favours, decorated my confetti basket and made my fg headbands. Will post pics later.
Taking my dress to alterations lady today! Excited!

morning wow the love tree is amazing!!!!!
got up on friday had an oven disaster at my CB's house (her parents had a new one delivered and they didnt connect it up) so we had to make a mad dash to my mum's house to make the brownies for the goodie bags, we were two and a half hours later to the hotel than we wanted had to have a mad dash in the room to get ready and then people arrived early so its was a bit manic!!!
got all my hen stuff on (no winkies thankfully) until the butlers in the buff came out hahaha had a fab meal and drank faaaaaaaaaaaar too much but thankfully the hotel breakfast was amazing so that cured me of a hangover for the day and had my engagement shoot yesterday so all in all a fab day :-)
here's some pics from my hen do

Ooh it looks like you had so much fun!
Love the love tree!
Fitting went well! I weighed myself beforehand and I have lost 2lb. 2lb off my ideal target! Thrilled. Then the dress. It fit perfectly so I don't need it taking in, she's just gonna take the hem up at the front then sort a bustle for the evening. I have pics but comp's broken so will upload tomorrow in work :-) I was so pleased it looked really lovely! Such a relief! First time I've worn it with the laces properly done up!
CommentAuthorfiona
Well done smarties! Looking forward to the pics! I have just finished decorating the guest book, a good reminder why I don't make things! All I had to was stick tissue down I made it seem very difficult - stupid girl :)

I bet it's lovely fiona!
Ah Nic, 2lb is easily lose-able the amount of exercise you do don't worry.
When I weighed myself last night before we went out for burger and chips (!) I had lost another 1lb! That's 5lb in about two weeks. V proud. Now I just have to maintain this weight for 9 weeks! That's gonna be hard!
Some piccies:
confetti basket
headbands - look better on!
And the dress. Poor lighting (Have lightened them a little) but you get the idea. Deffo needs a steam so next job is to find someone to do that for me. Didn't realise the train was so long! So she's bustling it. I bought the dress in a factory warehouse so didn't really try it on properly to be honest. Didn't even do it up properly in the shop so yesterday was like seeing it on for the first time! So proud of my waist! Haha! Going back on Monday when it should be done and ready to take home :-D Mil is going to put a hook in the ceiling in her spare room so it can hang straight then.
