    It was really good thanks - lots of relaxing, massages and generally stuffing my face with food!! ? all the things I love to do ?

    We couldnt get in for combat tonight but Im going to book for pump tomorrow. Are you doing half and half on Thursday - if you are then I will too - you know how I need to be given a wee push ?

    Glad you got to meet the twins - when are they getting out of hospital?

    Your weekend sounds lovely. My kind of weekend too! Where did you get taken?

    Doh! Not in on Thursday as going to see a band in Glasgow!

    I am doing pump tomorrow though as i couldnt get in to spin!

    Think the twins will be in for a couple of weeks. They are 7 weeks early and only weigh 4lb. Although they are totally happy with them. My cousins wife is going to be in for at least the next ten days as she had to have a wee opp yesterday.

    Starsailor. h2b hates my choice in bands thinks its all really depressing, he dreads getting dragged along. He he

    We booked Rufflets in St Andrews. Heading up on Wednesday to pay the deposit. Taking the parents up to let them see it.

    Going to phone Eat the Peach again this afternoon as never got back to me.

    I love Aberdeen. We normally try to go up for a night and do our Christmas shopping up there!

    I am not booked for pump either. Fingers crossed there's space.

    Just called M&B and the pump class is full and there are a million people on the reserves list. OK thats maybe an exaggeration but its very busy ?

    Im on the reserves and Charlann said she will call me tomorrow to let me know if I will be in or not. I might sneak along to the 5.45pm attack as that train gets in about 5.40pm and I can quickly get changed at the gym. Do you know who takes that class now??

    Rufflets is lovely - good choice Smiley smile Have you started looking for dresses yet????????

    Debbie take the 5.45 attack. Do you think if we got the train we could make it. Have thought of doing this before but wasnt sure if there was enough time. I am wanna go tomorrow as i cant go Wednesday or Thursday. M&B is becoming a big pain in the bum. Its sometimes worth just going down five min before the class starts and hanging around as quite often people dont turn up but they dont bother phoning either! So there are spaces.

    Havent started dress shopping yet. Was hoping to hold off till about July. I know that then only gives me 8 months or so, realistically would that be long enough? BM is desperate to go like now!! She was on at me yesterday!

    Do you fancy going to that class tomorrow with me then? Charlann says you dont even need to book as there is always spaces! And I wouldnt feel so bad nipping in a couple of minutes late if you were there too ?

    I got my dress shipped over from the US and it only took a few months so you will have plenty of time. Was it you that wanted a shorter style dress? I LOVE THEM!!! I was in Monsoon in Aberdeen and the dresses they had in their were absolutely stunning!!!!!!

    I have thought about going for tea length but i am fairly open, just going to see how i feel when i start trying them. Was looking through some magazines and there are some really nice 50 tea length styles which are really in at the moment and would be sensible for Mexcio/Cuba.

    I feel better knowing yours only took a few months as BM was stressing me yesterday, think she just really wants to go and get her BM dress, as she has never been one before.

    Yeah i am up for that class tomorrow. You always feel slightly better dashing in a minute or two late if you are not the only one!

    Mexico was roasting and I dont think I could bear to have had a full on dress on for that heat!

    On saying that Nicola (my BM) got married in Greece and it was mega hot and she had a full length, full skirted, full netting dress on!!! We all wore Dessy dresses as we were her BM's and although they were tea length they were still very warm. The Dessy BM dresses were also ordered from the US and they only took a few month too!!

    Right so we are agreed - 5.45pm attack tomorrow.......?? shall we virtually shake hands on it??? ?

    Its a Deal! I have a wedding dress to get in shape for! I may even bring my Magazine with the tea length dresses for viewing on the way home. He he

    Can i get the number from you for The Thirsties tomorrow too?

    Was Nicola roasting or did she say it was alright. I mean any dress beacuse of all the layers is going to be warm but i just fear i might collapse with heat exhaustion. My mum is totally stressing about her hair. She has thick wavy hair and humidity does nothing for it. I was like its fine cos we are going to have proper pictures done the day we have our reception up at Rufflets.

    Thats exactly what Nicola did too - she had professional ones done by a Greek man but also had professional ones taken in Glasgow on the night of her reception in Glasgow. Her dress was like this:

    Mexico was a lot more humid than Greece although Mexico had a nice breeze at night so it depends what time you are getting married at? Maybe try and make it 4pm ish as its getting breezier then. Maybe your Mum should think about having her hair put up for the Mexico wedding? I wore my hair up the majority of the time we were in Mexico as it was so much easier!!!

    Nicola looks beautiful and i love the BM dresses too. I recoginse you Claire and Rebecca but who was the 4th bridesmaid. We are thinking of waiting till late afternoon to get married. The boys all want to wear kilts too so i guess trying to do it at the coolest point of the day would be the best plan. I like the idea of the sun going down in the background but i am possibly being too whimsical and romantic. He he

    My mums hair is in a short bob so she would need to grow it and tbh she isnt an up do kind of gal. Her hair can be quite dry so i think maybe a few deep contition treatments before we go would help and my GHDs are the multi voltage ones so i am sure if we just spend a bit time straightening it would be fine. Maybe speak to the hairdresser and get some dehumidifying products or something.

    Ah you wont know the other BM - she is Nic's pal from Glasgow!

    Yeah she looks gorgeous doesnt she!! Her dress was Mori Lee - they do a lot of tea length syles too!

    Hmm I see what you mean about your Mums hair - yep she will just need to do the high voltage GHD's!

    Are you good to go for the attack class tonight....?? I have my gym stuff in the car!!!!!!!!!!

    Its a pity the wee twins wouldnt be older - how CUTE would that be!!!

    Yes this is four of the five:

    They were really well behaved on the day though! But the two younger ones were asleep on chairs at the reception by about 11pm as they had been up since 5am as they were so excited!!!!!!!!

    One of the wee ones used to ask her Mum every day "how many sleeps till the wedding" and this was about 5 months before ?

    Hi girls,

    YES 5!!! ? Was a pleasure though Meggy. I'm still gutted I was ill on your wedding day because I would have loved to have seen everyone.

    Lou - Meggy was thinking about us all meeting up at some point but my diary is hectic but would be good to see Meggy again and meet yourself.

    Megan - The all look georgous (since we got engaged i keep getting misty eyed over these things) I feel myself welling up at my desk here. I am almost tempted to postpone till Daisy and Lily are a little older! He he.

    Purrfect Gem - A scotish meet would be good. I think you will meet me at some point as i have seen alot of your jewellary posted on here and its all amazing. Once i know what i all need i will be in touch!

    I am buzzing, i cant wait! He he. Will feel good once it is all over!

    Has just minded me i was meant to go to Frasers and get a new sports bra. Think i will go order one online. I really grudge paying the cash for something that is so unpleasant to wear!
