1st August 2009 - how are we all?

Hello!

I am not feeling anything except bloody tired. Just not sleeping. Still got quite a bit to do like, rest of place cards, burning CD's, nails, waxing, rehearsal (Thursday night), delivering things here there and everywhere, pick up dress, pick up suits, mount readings onto card, pack for honeymoon (after washing and ironing like a gazillion things) wrap thank you presents, pack all the wedding stuff into boxes,

Think that is it! lol

How abou you?

Hi, I'm sleeping well, thankfully!

I've got nails, waxing, delivering things to venue Friday, final dress fitting tomorrow, pick up suit, we're off to Scotland for a mini moon next week, so washing and ironing for that and pack our motorhome ready for the journey! Cats into cattery, got to get couple of last minute things, my daughter (10) her shoes don't fit her now due to growth spurt so Wednesday we need to go shoe shopping! Got to get some cartons of orange juice and bottled water as we are paying caterers corkage, so I need to supply these. Oh, and try and go and see my cake if I have time!

Had a weddingy day yesterday, made table plan, checked, double checked and triple checked my place cards and wrote cards and wrapped presents.

Finishing work tomorrow thankfully!

We are having a civil (with just 2 witnesses) on Friday morning to do the legal stuff, followed by full blown marquee do with blessing on the Saturday, this is when I'll wear my dress, the registry office is looking like jeans at the moment!

Where are you boogiebelle? I'm in Staffs and the weather isn't looking too bad, so fingers crossed!

I'm in Southampton and at the moment the weather looks very sh!tty. Rain, rain followed by more rain! But then it has changed daily and today keeps changing so hopefully will change for the better.

Can't believe it is this week! Gone so quickly!

Oh sh!te boogiebelle, my weather forecast is heavy rain now too! Arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I'm gonna try and find some of those plastic dome see thru umbrellas!

POO!!!!

Got table stationery last night, still got to organise favours etc into boxes or envelopes for venue, go buy cakes, take those to venue, defuzz, sort travel insurance (cos i forgot yesterday....), go buy clothes for honeymoon (something tells me i'll be in primark oxford st late on wednesday evening....), burn ceremony cds, sort photo list for tog, confirm where all flowers need to go...

aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and breathe..........................

Well I slept ok last night, im so relieved I did, the other night I didnt get to sleep till past 5am then was up at 9. Last night was fine though.

I dont know how im going to fit it all in, had my final dress fitting yesterday, going to have final meeting with photographer today to sort things out, tomorrow doing last minute planning for the sweet table, thursday off to the barbican to get my rings cleaned and have some fish and chips on the seafront (heaven), friday getting my nails done, pick up dresses, take stuff out to hotel with about 3 trips then hopefully I can relax and enjoy the evening.

Still got to do 2 place settings, finish table centrepieces, got to sort out what has to go to hotel on the friday and what is coming out with me on saturday, order my mums bouquet for her room, frame my signature frame poem, print reading off and mount on to card, burn another cd for the ceremony as a back up, right thankyou cards, wrap presents, so much, how am I gonna fit it all in. SCARY.

Im in Plymouth and just checked the weather, ofcourse its forecast rain. Has changed everyday so fingers crossed it will be sunshine, I dont even mind if its cloudy. Lets hope we all get lovely weather.

I finished work today - yippee! Had a lovely day, they dressed up my desk, had a presentation and I received lovely cards and presents! Then I rang suit hire company to arrange collection of suits and was told that OH mums partner had cancelled his yesterday! First we knew about it! Turns out that FMIL has issues about him not sitting at top table. OMFG I don't need this! Trying to work it out, but had such a lovely day, then spoilt!

On a brighter note I've sorted out timings of things now, portaloos delivered Thursday, marquee erected Thurs pm/Fri am so I'm happy with this. Had final fitting of dress today, all tickety boo with that, collect my dress and suits on Thursday.

Got to get my daughter some shoes in the morning as original purchased ones too small!, slight hitch there on my part. Then Thursday cats to cattery, nails, collect dress/suit, take wine to venue, wowarooney, how am I gonna fit all that in? Somehow, thats how!

Yeah, weather changing hourly, I'm tracking it on metcheck, thundery showers forecasted, then now changed to partly cloudy and 24 degrees! Weird, gonna try and get a couple of large brollies tomorow to be on the safe side tho!!!

Keep me posted on how you are all getting on!

I am so hormonal at the moment, I feel like Bridzilla ? im so tired thats due to the pregnancy ofcourse, still so much to do and my H2B just went up his allotment and left me in charge of my daughter who has been playing us up at bedtimes for a week or so, and I was making the last name settings and sorting the centrepieces out, needless to say I was less that happy.

We saw the photographer today and it went really well, in fact we saved £100, the prices have come down since last year, I couldnt believe it, but thats £100 to go towards something else.

I have just checked on Accuweather and it says ot going to rain on saturday all day but on Metcheck it says it will be sunny with occasional cloud. Wish they would make up their mind.

Glad you had a good last day at work MrsK, shame about your FMIL, like you said you dont need that 4 days before your big day, why people feel its ok to do that is beyond me.

Hope the next couple of days go well for everyone.

Ah, that's crap Mrsk about the suits. Hope you get it sorted.

Well the weather has changed yet again - changing every few hours. Was quite heavy rain again this morning but now cloudy in the morning and about 20 degrees after 12 and sunny! Let's hope it stays that way.

So girls ... I'm from Staffordshire and having my outside (!) or maybe inside blessing if it rains at 12:30pm. Where abouts are all you 1st August brides and what time are you getting hitched?

I'm in kent at 2pm. at the moment, weather is showing either heavy rain showers (bbc), light rain (weather.co.uk), sunshine and showers (met office) or periods of rain (accuweather)

either which way you look at it, i'm going to need those umbrellas my parents bought.

ah well.

Im in Plymouth, getting married at 2pm also, accuweather says its going to be cloudy with a couple of showers, on the bbc website the map shows no rain, and on Metcheck it also says no rain. Think I will just wait to see what the weather says on Friday. We went for the venue because of it views (not for the hotel itself as its PINK!) the photographer said she can sort something out if it raining, she has done a couple of wedding out there when it rains and she knows where to go and what to do if it does. If it does rain im not going to let it ruin our day.

Hope everyone is coping well and nearly finished all the last bits.

Bloody weather! argh!!!!

I've done a SOS for some white umbrellas and managed to source 3 for me and b/m as we will have to walk about 75 feet to marquee from where car will drop us off, it doesn't sound far, but no doubt we'll end up soaked if no brollies! by buying brollies, isnt' that meant to be good luck and the sun will shine on the day? (hope so!).

Nearly there, still not sorted out FMIL and her tantrums, I can't face that today. May ring her today or tomorrow as need to confirm number of button holes/corsages with florist tomorrow lunchtime.

Not long to go now!!!!!!!!
