    I put this in help as I think I may just need it!

    I would like to start by saying 'My name is Jo and I am a UK bride addict.'

    I'm going to make some confessions on here and feel free to add your own as I'm sure it will give us all a good giggle.

    Today my hoop came (only ordered it from china half way through last week!) so I immediately put it on with my bra/pants wedding shoes, tiara and veil and I have been prancing around the house all day like a loon.

    I also sneak my i phone under the bed covers at night when we go to bed so I can check out what is going on while he is snoozing.

    I've been ordering things from ebay for the wedding and not putting them on the wedding budget for the h2b to see! (oopsie)

    I think I may have become addicted to Uk bride and don't know what to do!

    My name is Sam and I am a UK bride addict.

    Today I rang the owner of the shop I got my dress from to book and appointment to try it on again so I can pick out accessories to go with it. Even though I could really wait and do that when I go with my BM's to hunt out their dresses, or when I go for my fitting in March, but I just can't wait that long to try it on again!! LOL

    I am also a ukbride addict, though fortunately with h2b complete consent (keeps me away from the bickering and arguing on netmums lol)
    I also am a bit of a sucker for online shopping not being marked down on the wedding budget. I bought all our wooden roses, vases, my shoes and yesterday save the date fridge magnets....all not from our budget but my account lol. Nice to have those little extras i think and neednt be too expensive if done gradually.

    As far as being an addict goes, not much you can do, ukbride is essential wedding planning time and not in any way procrastinating :D

    I like your thinking blondmumma ;0)

    I was wondering just how sad it would be if I uploaded a pic from my iphone onto here on my wedding day and made a post? I mean I will need something to do while I'm having my make up and hair done on the day to keep me sane.

    My h2b has even stopped rolling his eyes when he walks in and sees me on here. I think if I wasn't on here he would be checking to see if I'm feeling alright. He does however like the fact that I have made some lovely friends from this site which is a good thing as he was worried before about me moving away from all my friends and not knowing anyone in the area.

    I realised earlier today that when my MOH veered off the topic of the wedding I had to concentrate on paying attention to what she was saying :S To be fair though, we were out looking at bits for the wedding, so my mind was on that anyway :P

    I have made up cards which are in 3 piles. 1. Definitely invited to the whole day 2. Maybe all day, maybe just evening, and 3. Definitely just evening.

    Then me and h2b have to go through them and try and pick who from the maybe's go into the whole day pile, and who into the evening pile.

    LOL - it's the only way I can get my head around it :-)

    We were really ruthless. If we haven't seen them in the last year or we don't like them then they are not invited. (that cut out loads) If we liked them they are coming.... That left us with 58, just the right amount of people! There are a few more coming to the evening but we are saying to them if they want to see us get married they are more than welcome to as it doesn't cost us anything but the room we have dinner in only holds 60 people.

    I'm Sally and i'm a UKbride addict with ADD. In other words, I spend periods of time glued to the site, but I am easily distracted by other things such as going out and TV :D

    I assume I will become a full time addict when I get closer to the wedding date! Gulp.

    Hi, I'm Kerry and I am addicted to UK bride.

    It used to be facebook but now UK bride is my addiction, I put off going to bed just to stay and read the forum posts, reply, chat and gain points. Every post counts to helping you get to be the all important power user :)

    I was visiting venues yesterday and have another to see tonight :)
