- submit mock up of tables to venue and who is at each table (noting special dietary requirements)

That's about it, am taking all my bits up to the hotel the day before and also getting my nails done then. Am thinking of booking a spray tan as well cos I do have a bit of colour from my holiday but also got a few strap lines I'd like to even out.

Thank you! I'm pretty much on top of it now and there is mainly the overnight bags to do. I have my friend from australia staying with me at the mo hence my absence on here. We have rehearsal in the morning and then I am off to southend for the night for my second hen do, then I'm back sunday to pack overnight bags and take my son to see a roary the racing car theatre show. Nails and sunbed sunday night followed by the reading of my good luck thread and that's it!

Not to be too smug but look at my weight loss ticker! ? And the only reason I haven't lost the ;ast 4lbs is cos my dress fits perfectly and the bridal shop advised me not too.....although I think I should have gone for it as I have my hen do to go and I fear lots of calories will be consumed in alcohol! lol
