Posted on Planning 68

Morning Ladies, How are you all? I must confess to being a grumpy lady this week, my gym routine is killing me and I am also so fed up about the hen do - a combination of things which have turned me in to a monster so i thought I would start the WG/B thread a day early! Good - England match tomorrow...

Morning Ladies,

How are you all?

I must confess to being a grumpy lady this week, my gym routine is killing me and I am also so fed up about the hen do - a combination of things which have turned me in to a monster so i thought I would start the WG/B thread a day early!

Good - England match tomorrow and I am going to watch it with friends

Good - It's Father's day on Sunday and I am looking forward to seeing my Dad and family and having a good meal

Good - I beat my personal best at swimming this morning and I am so proud of myself

Bad - I have been up since 05:30 and I am exhausted from my workout

Bad - I am so broke it is laughable!!

**New Feature** I thought it would be good to add a new feature to this weeks thread - I am going to tell you all something really ordinary that I have never done (everyone else who posts has to do the same puhlease!) we will see who is the weirdest out of us all!

I have never eaten a Tomato ? In fact the very thought of their skin and shape makes me shiver...........YUK YUK YUK

    Hi Claire198421

    Thanks for your lovely kind words X

    I absolutely adore the annual family trip concept - it sounds amazing and I am going to mention this to my mum when I see her on Sunday.

    It must be amazing to get all your family in one place - do many people drop out or make excuses?

    After 31 years of doing it I think you should write to a magazine like take a break or something, I bet they would love to cover a positive news story like that - it would make a great coffee break article to read up on!

    Glad to hear MIL2B is feeling better - hope she gets the all clear when she goes for her next set of checks x x x

    This really made me laugh - I detest that people eat the prawns body and leave the head - RANK!!!

    X

    Spangles - RMW gave my work laptop a virus and it meant that the IT dept now know I look at sad person wedding blogs - oh the shame of it!!!! Mortifying!

    Oooh nooo! Yup if they took my work laptop in they would see the history as: hitched, RMW, rocknrollbride, hotmail and any food related websites. (insert fellow saddo icon)

    Problem is looking at RMW I want to steal everyone else's ideas. Keep meaning to try my hand at making those pesky Martha Stewart pom poms!

    Hi Pheonix,

    4 days off - you lucky lady. I want 4 days off too please!

    The wedding on Monday sounds fab, I bet the 50's theme will look amazing.

    Could you go back to the band that quoted you and ask them to do it cheaper? Tell them your budget and see what they can offer - even 1 hour would be nice! The church sound like a really disorganised bunch - it is not fair that you have had to suffer because they made a mistake ☹️

    I can relate to both of these things!!

    Oops, no, I didn't know that otherwise I wouldn't have said I hated tea!! ? That's a wicked theme though (and hey, at least you have one. I don't. All the suppliers keep asking me what my theme is, err, marriage??)

    ?

    Neither OH or I drink tea or coffee so never come to ours expecting one! We may have some tea bags somewhere but I bet they're out of date!

    Nooo all the weddings featured are ahem, terrible.... ? (obviously a lie!)

    There is a new blogger they have mentioned called Olivia - vay funny blog of hers (but I shan't give you the address else I'll get you into more trouble with IT!)

    Oh and FYI - the Cosmo feature on our venue doesn't really show much of our venue in or outside - just the owner's house next door so bear this in mind when you have a look-sy! x

    Me too! I can't get enough of her wedding, her blog is great but makes me feel so inadequate - I wish I could be so effortlessly cool and plan an amazing and unique wedding like her...best I've got so far is different flavours for each cake tier ?

    I know - the RMW girls make me feel soo beige! I feel like that dorky kid at school trying to emulate what they are doing. And they are so bloody nice & funny with it! If it was possible to have a crush on a website I would have a shrine to RMW a la Helga in Hey Arnold. (wouldn't make their heads out of used chewing gum though...)

    Oops did I just revealed I used to love Hey Arnold... must dash!

    Hi all, reading this has given me a right giggle, thanks ladies ive needed it!

    BAD: ive had a real crap time this week trying to get my head around the lap dance H2B had on his stag do - ended up in a right state about it tonight crying my eyes out

    GOOD: H2B ended up getting on one knee again asking me to marry him, although i did have to help him up as his other knee has been giving him loads of pain

    BAD: I now feel like ive put a dampner on what was a good weekend for him

    GOOD: Have had a lovely couple of days off work, catching up with WP my sister and nephew too

    BAD: Back to work tomorrow

    GOOD: I love my job

    BAD: Still a week till pay day and i have NOOOOO money

    I've not told H2B my maiden name (although im sure he knows it as he is friends with my bro on FB) i never reverted back to it after my divorce from my ex, I just hate it was always embarrassed to tell people when i was younger!

    There's nowt wrong with loving Hey Arnold, it was classic! I used to be an avid viewer myself And I too would have a shrine to RMW, I may be a little addicted to it. I don't know what I'll do when my wedding is over! (still go on there I should imagine ?)

    I read that quickly, and thought you meant jelly made of risotto, which would make anyone gag! I also agree with the cottage cheese thing, it doesn't look like food, it's truly foul.

    Phew! Glad I'm not alone! Yes it will be vay weird not having a good reason to pore through the pages on RMW and RocknRollBride.. but I don't think I'll be able to wean myself off all of the readily available wedding porn very easily...

    Bad- Working tomorrow all day and working at night in the pub so 8.30-6 then 7-2! Smiley sad

    Good - Football is on so should be a good night in the pub

    Bad- Got to be up early on sat after a long day working

    Good- It's my grandmas 80th birthday on sunday and she's having a massive party on saturday with everyone she knows.

    Good - Fathers day on sunday and I get to spend it with my dad at my grandmas house.

    Good - Spend the weekend with my niece

    I've also never ate a tomato, I cook with tinned stuff, but I think the real deal must feel like you've been violated!

    I also have to shake clothes, towels and shoes. I also have to check the shower for spiders before I get in without glasses as once there was a spider in there and I couldn't see it as I had no glasses!

    Never seen star wars or any James Bond film.

    Never had a tea or coffee - only got into hot choc last year when nearly froze to death!

    Shall we form this support group Bridie? I can picture us all now in a village hall all sat in our wedding dresses. We can have an RMW amnesty where after 6 months we all have to remove it from our bookmarks and give away our copy of Cosmo with CAOS in. It will be tough. But with the support of RMW Addicts Anonymous I think we can do it. x

    ? I think we should, for CAOS and RMW addicts everywhere, who read through her wedding report weekly and check RMW at least five times daily. We will help them break free.

    Haha I love how it's got a name and everything. And I'm with you there, to think that CAOS thought I was worthy would be...amazing. (I think I may love her a bit too much!)

    Yup think I have a girlie crush on the RMW team. I am now going to go and make RMWAA badges in preparation for our first meeting. Would T Shirts be a bit too much? Yah. Will just stick to badges.

    Easy tiger - cupcakes are a little too RMW-y. Maybe cornish pasties? We need to be serious about this detox.
