Its quiet in here today... Where are you all????

I'm kinda jumping in and out but I should be working. Will catch up with all the posts properly when I get home tonight

Are you having a slow day??? Hate it when work is like that.

I am here although havent been much lately as had a lot on with work and OH's bday etc so have been more of a lurker as not really alot more planning to do till end of Nov as we are off on hol in 4 weeks and saving for that so just buying bits for the invites here and there!!!

K xx

Im hereeeeee ? Ive just booked an appointment for the dentist tommorow, not very impressed ☹️

Hey moonpig! im here. But there hasnt really been a lot going on to post on, the walls have been quite..so quite I even nipped over to BT and read a whole 8 page agrument about natural birth v c section. And im not even pregnant or interested at the moment, just bored! lol!

What you been up to lately?

Well tbh I'm really busy but I'm just having one of those days when I can't be bothered to do anything. Boss from hell has really annoyed me this morning by bringing in fresh cream cakes for 'the team' knowing full well I'm allergic to cream. (She only brought cakes in so that her boss wouldn't point out the fact that she was 55 minutes late for work.....again!)

So I'm now rebelling by Hitching and Yahooing all day ?

Hey, i'm here! I'm a newbie though, so most of you probably haven't seen me before. Good chance to say hi i guess!

Moya - i have just spent an hour reading about hypnobirthing. My sister is pregnant and mentioned it the other day. It was far more interesting than this stupid university essay i'm supposed to be doing.

Hey Moya..... my brain is a bit addled lately but was it you who ordered your dress from China? I think it had been dispatched just before I went on holiday? I can't recall any posts about it... have you received it yet?

Yes I drifted over to lurk on BT earlier but got a bit scared as I have no idea what the abbreviations were for! I've been quite busy. I now have a part time job as well as my Mon-Fri job, its only meant to be one shift on a Saturday in the shop up the road but last week I ended up doing 3 evening shifts Fri/Sat/Sun so i am completely cream crackered. My nan is also having an operation today so I have a lot going on really.

Went to visit a florist on the weekend, so we took one of the huge cocktail glasses that we've brought... only for one of the cats to smash it when we got back because OH very wisely left it in the middle of the hallway. knew it was a bad idea ordering them so soon, I'll be lucky if I have 4 left by the time the wedding comes.

Anyway thats enough of my ramblings..... how are you?

I have been flitting in and out but it's so quiet I haven't posted much. Been over to the 'other' site for a bit, OT over there is brilliant but WP is just as dead as this, if not more so!

We need it to liven up a bit on the forum. But I haven't done anything weddingy at all since ordering my dress a couple of weeks back and we were supposed to have booked the honeymoon by now too as the price keeps creeping up, but we just haven't! OH and I are bad WPers ?

Well Im here although I mostly lurk as my wedding was last year (sigh)

Yes, oh you've missed so much! It arrived while you were away and was lovely, but just didnt feel right, so to cut a long story short I have ordered one from a shop. There is a picture a way back of me in my ebay dress and then a post last week i think of my new dress!

I know exactly how you feel, I know have 5 jobs, the only time I have spare now is a sunday afternoon and thats only every other week now. Due to 2 redundancies in a year and wedding planning money is very tight, oh and dad got made redundant so have to pay for the whole wedding ourselves now! I certainly know the meaning of cream crackered! As mentioned on a previous post Im starting a new fashion trend...black bags under your eyes, although its not catching on!!

I saw a florist at the weekend too! Loved her ideas but waiting on her prices! lol! What colours/flowers are you going for?

Lots of vibes for your nan!!! ?

I think the other place is scary... there's lots of people on there that I don't know and things move too fast ? gosh Im such a wimp! It's good to lurk on but Im not brave enough to post very often.

I just spotted some more posts on here that i'd missed as I take too long replying.... so hello everyone ? I'm not being ignornat! ?

It does move fast over on the other side, takes a while to get used to!

Moya just reminded me - how's your nan getting on?

Well our colours are midnight blue and silver, so we are just having ivory roses and lillies with plenty of greenery to make them stand out from my bouquet. My aunts have offered to do my flowers for me, they did my cousins in june so I know they can do a good job. So that has saved me hundreds as we can get the flowers straight from the market. I was a bit dubious at first as I'm such a perfectionist but after seeing the florist quote I've decided to take them up on their offer. I think I will get my bouquet done by a florist though as I want a slightly fancy one ?

Thanks for the vibes, I ahve to work tonight too so can't go and visit her but she will have plenty of family there. ?

Well she was discharged on Friday until they have a bed at another hospital, and she was admitted back in last night for the op today. She needs to have a tube inserted to drain the fluid caused by the blockage in her liver (sorry if TMI) so hopefully she will feel a lot better once it has been drained. She will then have to start down the road of chemo.....again. Hopefully it will sort it for good this time. Thank you for asking x

I have been very lucky and actually managed to return mine and get a full redund - less the cost of returning it to china which cost me £27! It was beautiful, really lovely, it just felt different to the shop dresses, not as heavy and not as nice material, but a lot of brides would have given anything to have such a beautiful dress im sure, it just wasnt right for me. I was like you and tried not to get my hopes up incase it was awful and it made the decision whether or not to keep it so much harder as it was lovely, but decided to go with the best in the end!

Yep 5 jobs, Monday to saturday 9-5 at my main job, Two - Three nights a week doing avon (feel free to laff out loud but its extra dollar!!), one night doing office admin for an architects, one night doing office and house cleaning (not mine! lol), Sundays I work on my parents farm, and the nights I have nothing on and sunday avos i work in the pub...anything i have missed!...oh occasional baby sitting as well! ?

Thats lucky about the flowers!! And your colours sounds lovely! Will the BMs be wearing midnight blue then?

Yes they will have midnight blue dresses (all 6 of them!). I got my save the date cards last week, I meant to post them on here actually. i love them! Sorry I forgot to ask what colours you were having.......?

I didnt laugh at the Avon job, I thought about doing it myself but my friends mom does it and said she doesn't make any money really, she just does it so people can get cheap make up. So that put me off. Do you sell around your area or just to friends and family?

I think i will be like you when my dress comes, if its not perfect i won't like it! I know it's a lot to ask for under £200 quid but after trying on dresses in the shops it would be hard to settle for one of less quality. i just thought it would be worth a try.

My word 6 BM's! Thats got to be expensice, big ones or small ones? My colours are boring really, just baby pink basically, OH's choice as well. Most things tie in with it!

Post a pick of your STD's now!!

No I sell round my area, not got enough friends and family nearby to just do them! Im in the early stages at the moment so ill see if i manage to build much up!

Im at work BORED as completly alone !! very odd!

want to come on here but really feel like a spare part as dont reallt have anything to ask any more sob sob !!

I could do with a good old troll thread to make me laugh!

5 little ones and one big one, i dont want 5 but it's just ended up like that. If I had my way i would have my two little cousins and my friend, but if I have my 2 cousins I have to have my other cousin or she will feel left out, and the other 2 are OH sisters so he wanted to have them. They are all paying for their dresses luckily but it still all adds up with accessories, shoes, bouquets and presents etc.

I'll see if I can take a decent pic on my phone and put it up, won't be holding my breath though.

I always assumed I would have pink as my theme, everyones quite surprised I'm having blue. I wish I'd thought about the flowers more though before choosing my colours as it would be much easier with pink.

Ive just come back from a jaunt in town.

I bought an apron.

A wipe clean one.

OMG

Is this what marriage has done to me????!!!!!

And a cake tin/biscuit tin/other tin inside. And a clothes horse.

Beware all you young brideys!

Oh dear Teehee you'll be buying tea cosies and frilly doilies (sp?) next ?
