The weekend good/bad thread

brideseekingblush, 25 June, 2010 at 10:48 Posted on Planning 0 33

Good: It's the weekend, and it's due to be sunny!

Good: off to a tapas and rioja thing this weekend

Good: In a month I'm going to be married!

Good: Went to the venue last night to run through the day with the coordinator - she was really lovely and it really reassured me - plus she said we can use the balconies for pics which we didn't think we could.

Good/Bad: OH's aunty's bday today - will be nice to see everyone but I've had a busy week and could do with curling up.

Bad: My bridesmaid and best friend hasn't got her green card to come over yet from the States and can't come without it Smiley sad

Bad: Absolutely nothing seems to be in place for my hen night. My other BM is organising it, and she's supposed to have set up a group on fb which I'm not in, as she doesn't want to worry me about it - but I keep getting questions from friends about what's happening so I suspect not very much.

Bad: Although I'm trying not to I'm getting really stressed about the wedding - particularly the "me" bits of it - e.g. how I'm going to look. It's not really helping that it's summer - where did all these beautiful skinny girls come from???

    Good: This is my only weekend on in 5 weeks of placement so I can't really complain!

    BSB, I'm sure you will look great on your wedding day, try not to stress although I know it's hard x

    Good: It's the weekend

    Bad: It's a busy one

    Bad: This week has been awful. Edited

    Bad: Next weekend is OH's stag do and after Wed's activity I'm really worried about him going away but getting myself all stressed internally about it cos I don't want him to know just how worried I am. Here's hoping this is a thread he doesn't contribute to as he seems to like it here now after joining in yesterday with the boudiour thread!

    Sorry, my contributions to this thread are normally happy but can't summon up any enthusiasm at the moment...

    Good: OH is off work most of the weekend so we'll get some family time

    Good: I've lost another 4lb this week YAY!

    Good: OH has got a pool car for 2 weeks until his car arrives. It was pot luck which one he got but it just happens to be his dream car so he's in a very good mood (until he has to hand it back)

    RaeF - sorry I'm rubbish at reading between the lines but are you worried that something will happen to OH when he's away or worried about you being home alone?

    Thanks Smiley smile I am finding it really difficult. We have found 2 houses that we are really loving!!

    The one we are looking at tomorrow, isnt gonna have the 'wow' factor as we know the kitchen and bathroom will need doing BUT its a detatched house and in a great area (basically the other side of the road to my parents lol) and even though its £30k over our budget its a repossesion house and my financial advisor thinks we'll get a bargain if we try, so if we got it, it'll be worth having to wait to do the bits that need doing in it!

    BoroKate - I'm worried about something happening here again whilst he's away. I'll might stay with my parents but I need to come back here and feed / water the animals in which case I may as well just sleep here.

    Emmy (I think, loosing track of who said what now!) - both OH and I are ok, just saw what happened which wasn't nice at all!

    Curlypanda - will def look into victimsupport if I still feel down next week. I've never had to deal with anything like this before so didn't even know something like that existed. Fingers crossed I never need them again!!

    Thanks everyone else for hugs and wishes - this wasn't really what I wanted with 6 weeks to go but it's happened now and time to deal with it...
