haha love the list hun x

you are nearly there fairytale!! xx

well today i went to pick up my underwear and its not in yet not happy :( but instead i went and bought our daughters shoes for the wedding, and paid for my nail kit so that i can do my own nails, hopefully my underwear should be in by the end of the week but she is going to ring me when it arrives fingers crossed sooner rather than later. i have aslo bought myself some 3 quarter lenght tracky bottoms and a new vest top (both white) which are going to be used as my PJ's the night before and morning of wedding. dont think i have much room left in my cupboard for anything else lol xx

i went to a local underwear shop, instead of anything briadl related, i told her the sort of thing that i wanted and we went through the books and found it, when i find out the name of the company its from will let u know as they have loads of different types xx

oh how exciting i cant wait, oh that means that when u are getting married i should be on honeymoon xx

i am and i get worse as each day goes by and each thing gets ticked off my list lol, the nerves havent hit yet either so im hoping that they wont xx

Oooh, can I have the name of the underwear too? I'm really struggling to find something that 1) I like and 2) fits (am 30FF!)

well not in pressed went to the underwear shop again today and its still not in going on 3 wks now, and went to pick up my diamantes and could only pick up the pack to finish my shoes off with as they had ordered the wrong ones that i need to finish my handbag, i understand that people make mistakes and they cant help it if their supplier is out of stock but its just peeing me off as every week they dont deliver means another wk closer to the wedding and i really dont have time after this month to be doing things like my shoes and handbag, hence the fact i oredered everything nearly 3 weeks ago, sorry rant over xx

no have only paid deposit so far, she knows i need it by the 2nd april (hen night) so god help her if its not here by then xx
