Self Pity Party

Im not surprised you and Oh are stressed. You have so much on your plate right now. How about you and OH take a day off from wedding things and just relax. Get a DVD and some wine in.

So sorry to hear about Poppy. I hope the vet brings some positive treatment ideas. Just remember if the worst is suggested you have done all thats possible for her.

i have got to write my name places today and sort out favors, whats your to do list............................

(ps, on a separate note, am sooooo sorry to hear about your pup, we are a dog family and are devistated when something happens to one of them, thinking of you. our tortoise died this week too, vet had to get a second opinion to make sure she wasw actually dead!!!)

You are not a "moany old cow"!!

Really hope Poppy is ok! And that you get that injection of cash tonight.

Keep smiling babe xxx Big hug for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh honey, i could cry for you, you have sooo much on your plate right now but try not to beat yourself up because you are not feeling the way you expected or think you should a week before your wedding.

I really hope something more can be done to help Poppy puppy dog, she sounds like a right little fighter bless her x

In the meantime take a deep breath and hard as it may seem go do something non wedding, non puppy related, just you and your OH, obviously if money is an issue you cant really go for a slap up dinner, but would you be able to stretch to a trip to the cinema? or together cook a nice yummy meal at home (do a course each or something) then chill out with a dvd, sounds so simple and easy when written down but in reality i know thats not always the way. BIG ? X X X

I am so sorry you feel poo Sara. And like the others have said, you have A LOT on your plates right now. I also think it would be a good idea to take a day off of wedding planning with your H2B and try and relax.

I'm so sorry Poppy is still poorly too (wasn't aware of the updates as I've come off of FB).

Big inadquate hugs for you SC. I hope everything goes OK this week. You will look BEAUTIFUL on Saturday - fact. You are a lovely girl and I hate to hear when you're unhappy.

You have my number/ PM me through t'other place if you need anything x x

Oh S, you sound like crap, you're dealing with so much. spangles is right - take a day off WP, just spend some time together and relax. if you have done all you can for poppy, then you have done all you can for her. you *must* take some comfort from that. i'll keep my fingers crossed that there is a positive outcme though.

and whatever happens, saturday will be great, you will look gorgeous, R will be your husband at the end of the day.

?

Any news on Poppy? Hope she is getting better. x

Morning Ladies,

Thanks for all your lovely kind words - we starved Poppy for 12 hours ( that is normal treatment for a gastic ulcer as a side effect from her drugs) and the gave her the meds as usual last night with a tiny amount of food. She responded well and is now a bit better - she still has the dihorrehea but at least she is not throwing up water anymore. She is also happy to play with her toys which is a huge improvement on yesterday, we also have to feed her liquorice as that is one of the best things for stomach ulcers!!

The vet is going to see her Tuesday and will hopefully reduce the steroids as they are causing the ulcers - Poppy is such a lovely dog and I wish she wasn't in pain all the time, she has been sick since she was 12 weeks we have our fingers crossed that she WILL get better - she is asleep on my feet right now!

Thanks Bluuuey - you are getting to be quite the wise owl lately x

Oh good to know about poppy, i will keep everything Xd for her full recovery.

and a big squeeze to you too missy, x

Thanks Nona xxx

Thats good news.

Now you just need to try and get some relaxing in before the big day.

R has been and done the shopping today so that I don't have to do it, he has also done the front garden (which was my job) he is so lovely

One of my BM's has come to stay and has been so helpful and everyone is now chilling in the garden, I am in the shade! x

Glad things have picked up for you, sounds like you had a bit of a bugger of a week!

I have been MOH for 3 girls and am now the B2B! I have seen each of the girls lose it the week before, through no fault of thierown, the little things get aggravating and they add up and if you have a H2B that hasnt been fully involved all the way, he may not realise, what is wrong, the implications of the small things or that you may be overwhelmed, Men just assume we love all this 'stuff!'

Remember to have at least an hour a day to yourself. just you-wether you listen to music, read, do a puzzle whatever. remember you are getting married to your soulmate and being stressed about the happiest day of your life or the run up to it, will achieve nothing but bags and wrinkles!!

Hugs from lil' Leia xx

Awww thanks Leia, that's really sweet of you x

I think it's normal to feel a bit like this before you wedding, but especially with all the stuff that you've has going on! Hope pups gets better soon.

As all the ladies have said above, some relaxation time for yourself (and you and OH) for a short amount each day should help. I find a really nice hot long bath, with a good book or magazine really helps. Also, just relaxing in candle light before bedtime can have a really soothing effect.

During real periods of stress, I do tend to take Kalms, which are completely herbal, and that tends to calm me down. In the past, I've taken Kalms with Lemon Balm if I have been feeling very anxious as well as stressed. Perhaps give them a go??

Sc have a big hug first off

You are not a moany anything just a person with a lot on her plate. Make the most of having bridesmaid there to help with any last min wedding glitches and while it is easier said than done try not to stress to much about it, everything is in place now and you will have a wonderful day.

Don't even worry about your weight you will look stunning its just the stress head trying to get to you via another root.

I'm with others no matter how small a thing it is 9a walk, a picnic, cinema) try and grab a few hours with your OH where the wedding isn't mentioned,

Finally I am keeping fingers crossed for your puppy, hope the vet has soe good news this week for her and you.

Fingers crossed that the week just keeps getting better & better! Really hope Poppy gets better soon, doesn't sounds like much fun for her or you.

I think the week before the wedding is mega stressful so don't worry, it's normal. I thought it would be a lovely fluffy week with cuddles, romantic nights etc etc....I was wrong! lol. H disappeared each day, doing what I still don't know, in the few days beforehand but I think it was his way of dealing with the emotions, stress, excitement.

Really hope Poppy is ok. We were stressed our cat was going to be ill the week before and it was horrible but he ended up being fine. Poppy sounds like a wee fighter so she isn't going to stop trying now. x
