15 days to go and buying crazy.....

sparkles1984, 6 August, 2010 at 18:46 Posted on Planning 0 9

As it says in the title. I have been at my mums house today where I have constant internet and have been buying mad on ebay. Have bought myself and the flowergirl and apron so we dont spill dinner as this is a very big likelyhood. I have bought a just married transfer, a flowergirl transfer, a wedding garter and am looking for a transfer "Under New Management" for OH for the morning after.

Took FG for her dress fitting today.....little buggers in the shop have charged me £30 alterations for a dress that is huge for her after they ordered it in. She has had more dress fittings that I have had!! I go for my second one on Wednesday, see what she has done to it as she didnt need to do much to it last time I was there.

Im sure I have more important things to be doing, lol x

    Hello Date Twiny! He he, our bank cards have taken SUCH a battering this week, paying everyone and like you, I have been spend crazy on gifts and the like! How exciting though - can you believe it's 2 weeks tomorrow? How are you doing / feeling? I'm fine, sat in front of me is a very detailed, controlling list that I am working through but feeling sort of sorted! Was due my final fitting on Sun but it's been delayed as the Seamstress' daughter went into labour! However I'm sure it will all be fine when I go THE WEEK BEFORE MY WEDDING. Just have to hope it fits or they're gonna have some last minute work to do!

    Good luck, and put your credit card away now! ?

    Yay I didnt know I had a date twinnie!!

    I have to pay so much this week and also go shopping for the honeymoon and buy malaria tablets which are costing an arm and a leg. This wedding is costing the earth and it never was meant to.

    Im not too bad though, OH reminded me it was 2 weeks tomorrow....not as though I had forgotten. He has now strated to take notice that its happening at last. Mind you he hasnt sorted my muisc to walk into yet...needs some shouting taken off the beginning and we need to find 2 people who dropped out the other day too.

    How are things with you? Where you going on your honeymoon? xxx

    Hawaii and Vegas!! I can't quite believe we're going on such a big trip - Hawaii particularly as with all the wedding madness we keep almost forgetting and then being like 'OH MY GOD!!!!!' How about you? It sounds very lovely and exotic if you need malaria tablets! Have also been buying loads for Honeymoon! I don't normally buy many clothes but have gone a bit mad...on my list is to write a list (eh?) of exactly what I need to bring / still buy for Hawaii. Last week I wasted £20 on one of those Mrs ____ bikinis (Just had to) and it looks bl00dy awful - one of those stringy numbers that just looks vile, which I'm totally stuck with as it's got my new surname on, annoying!

    My Mum had an op last week so I've been with her a lot and it's really made OH sit up and do stuff! I give him a list and last weekend he made the OOS - what a girl, love it! We've got to put them together this weekend but think, like yours, now that's it's close he's quite aware...especially about his speech! Soooo glad I'm not in his shoes!

    Have you had your final dress fitting yet?

    We are going to Kenya for 16 nights but have a 3 day safari in there too. OH mum bought us a new camera so we could take pictures ect as we had a really crap one before.

    I havent bought much for it, I have been buying bits throuought the year to be honest and at the moment it is raining there so not too happy. I have been looking at those but with the size of mine I have had to go for proper ones from Debenhams, cost a fortune to buy.

    OH did his speech the other day, he is trying to remember it so he doesnt have to read off a pieve of paper but my concern is his mums, she just had to do one and we have a 30 min deadline to get FOB, Groom, BM, MIL, reading cards by his sister and FG and an old guy doing one for those who cant be there, Im dreading his mums and OH one.

    I have my dress fitting on Weddnesday at 2 so fingers crossed as it will only need cleaning then and I can pick it up the following week as I dont have anywhere really to store it. My last day in work next Friday and then off till the 9th Sept. I cant wait!! xx
