October 2015 brides....

Steph that's such a lovely ring

AnnaMolly - Sorry to hear your having problems with your flowers
Can the two florists that you'd liked recommended anyone else? If you need any help I'm great with Google...
I'm hoping I'll sort out the tablecloths soon, if not I might just buy bedsheets!!

Lui - Is it bad that I've cheated with my name places? I bought little cards from Amazon and have asked one of my crafty friends to write on them in her nicest calligraphy, I've paid her with Malteasers haha!
And I feel your pain with the music side of things! OH and I are seriously into rock/heavy metal, so clearly that wasn't to everyone's tastes. I've ended up making a spreadsheet with 3 tabs on...
1) Music For Everyone - to be played between 7-8:30pm
2) Soppy Stuff - to be played as and when
3) Rock/Heavy Metal - to be played after 8:30pm
We've picked a "trigger" song and will make little signs so that our guests know once they hear that song its either time to rock out or leave!
I'm now on 186 days ... my OH totally freaked when I told hi, it's coming round so quick

Stephied9384 - I've told my OH that we're having a chat about it tonight, as I feel he's taking the pi$$ now. Thing is he really is a nice guy, used to be very shy but we get on well now. But he owes me money for his suit, the accommodation, 3 gig tickets ... and yet my OH still invites him round for home cooked meals once a week! I've not got problem with him coming round but I just wish he'd pay me back something, even if it's in instalments.
I love that you've sorted out a crèche for when you have your ceremony, that's a really clever idea
The only child we're having at our wedding (and the evening reception) is my niece who will be 3 by then. I know what you mean about screaming kids, having 30 under 12's would be my idea of a nightmare!
Love that wedding ring btw, its very pretty

TheFutureMrsKay - hello again
How are your plans coming along?

Hi

Plans are going really well; we have all the suppliers booked now (including the bouncy castle, which I am super excited about)!

All the dresses are sorted too, with just one hitch. One of my BMs lives in Sweden, and initially told me that she'd come to my hen party. So I decided that we'd do her dress fitting then (to kill 2 birds with one stone). She's now said that she can no longer come, and she wants me to send her the dress and she'll arrange her own alterations. Just a little concerned about this, and also a little sad, as now I won't see her until 2 days before the wedding.

On a chirpier note, we went to stay at the hall where we are getting married, and it was so fabulous! They gave us a free upgrade (not complaining!), and an afternoon tea. It was so good that we've decided to do this for our guests instead of canapés (an informal, grab-your-own afternoon tea). £100 for 70 people, so we're not complaining.

Now that all the big things have been done, I'm trying to do all the little bits. But now I'm running out of them too! I've made bridesmaid dressing gowns, kids packs, flip flop basket, blanket basket, bathroom baskets and a dress up box.

Just need to decide on the centrepieces (a company is providing them, I just have to decide which ones), and accessories (which is proving really hard to do).

Hope your planning is going well

Hello Hun xxx

Can't belive its 6 months on Friday! It's so exciting!

Sorry I haven't been around much, this whole job situation to totally getting me down. My last day is the end of May, so I have 2 months to try and find something. I've been looking since we heard the news, but there hasn't been much out there. I did have an interview today, so fingers crossed. I thnk its just getting to me, because our venue wants the balance of money at the 6 month mark, so I'm worried that a lot of our money will go on this, and I'm worried that if I don't find a job we won't have any money. OH's parents are helping, but I feel guilty taking money from them, but they are insisting. Hopefully things will sort themselves out though.

On a more positive and exciting note, I sent out our day wedding invitations today! It's been pouring with rain all day, and when I when to put them in the post box, I was so worried the rain would getting into the post box that I drove to the next village and physically took them into the post office instead! Never in my life have I freted about post getting wet in a post box before, but today I did! The rest we are hand delivering this weekend! Stamps are expensive!!! Have you sent yours?! Sorry if you've already mentioned this in a post, so much has happened in our little thread that I haven't read it all yet!!

Hope you are ok and your planning is coming along nicely! I really am excited it's only 6 months away!

I'm going to have a read of the thread and have a good catchup on what I've missed with all you other ladies and your planning!

Love and hugs to all xxxx

Hey all,

Sorry I haven't been on for a bit - busy working week before Easter.

My bridesmaid dresses are at the end of the post or in this link if you can't see it http://www.bhs.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=merlot&storeId=13077&productId=17885465&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=34096

We also paid off the rest of our venue today, yay!

By the sounds of things I really need to get onto sorting flowers! Other than that, it's getting out the rest of our invites, sorting rings and then hair and make-up.

LMP - Have you thought of ebay for tablecloths? You can often get stuff on there and then sell it on afterwards so although it might cost you a bit more short-term, long-term you could well get your money back! Also, what the heck is 'M' playing at?! I thought organising the stag do was meant to be fun! We are having a best couple and the guy from there keeps on taunting my OH about the plans he has...my OH is a little worried shall we say?!

Misslynx - thanks for posting another pic - you look great and uber happy!

Cat
x

P.S. Deleted the pic as it kept on coming up in a weird position on the screen!

Yes Cat D, definitely get looking at flowers! It's been more of struggle than I thought it would be. I have obviously left it too late.

Your bridesmaid dresses are gorgeous although my phone hates the picture, it's weirdly sitting at the top of the thread not within the post, ha!

Thank you lovely ladies for the offers of help. I had my mum googling yesterday while I was in a meeting at work and when I came out she had a big list for me. Emailed a couple more so fingers crossed they can do my date!

Stephied9384 - that ring is truly gorgeous!

AnnaMolly - would you be able to visit some florists local to you over the weekend; sometimes actually going in person can be really useful

SparklyBear - bet it was really exciting sending out invitations, I would imagine that makes it all start to seem very real! I'm still waiting for ours to arrive, but my Mum doesn't think I should send them till mid to late May possibly June, but not sure as I keep seeing that others have sent theirs, we didn't send save the dates either.

Can I just ask are most of you having favours? We weren't going to but now I am thinking that we should, we were going to buy chocolates to serve with the coffee, we are having the coffee in a different area to the wedding breakfast, so the chocolates and mini biscuits would have been on plates in that area. But wondering if the chocolates would be nicer in personalised boxes on the tables as favours?

Hey all!

Tookmytime - we weren't going to do favours at first because most people aren't bothered by them and lots of places can get funny about food/drink ones. We then looked into those by Cancer Research UK and they look great. As both my OH and I have had people in our family with it and he deals a lot with it in work, we thought it would be perfect. You make a donation to get one of a variety of pins (your choice - some are designed by celebs too!), everyone is able to get something memorable but little to keep and awareness is raised...it seemed like a win-win for us!

I really like the ring you put up Stephied9384. I am looking for a twist-type ring but am unsure of what to go for as my engagement ring has a raised emerald in it. I would like a ring that fits it really well but that can look good by itself. I can't seem to find anything that I love, which is important if I'm gonna be wearing it forever! Has anyone else had this problem?!

Cat

Morning ladies, how are we all today?
Thought I'd let you all know that I had a chat with my OH last night ... end result is that my OH called M and told him that I was a bit upset, M apologised to me and promised he'll pay me back the money he owes me in full on Friday. So I'm waiting to see what happens with that and then OH and I might ask him again (very nicely) if he can say a few sentences at the wedding breakfast, just a little toast really

AnnaMolly - How are you feeling today? Hope the flower situation is getting better...

CatD - Your bridesmaid dresses are gorgeous! And thanks for the eBay tip I'll have a look later.
Have you tried having a look at Smooch for your wedding ring? I got mine from there and they are unbelievably helpful, you can even have something custom made to fit your engagement ring.

TheFutureMrsKay - I am so jealous that you have a bouncy castle, how awesome! That's great that you've sorted out all your dresses as well, could you and your BM maybe talk via Skype or Facetime so she can show you how the dress looks? Won't be the same as seeing it in person I know but it'll give you an idea and you can see the alterations as well.
I love the thought of an informal afternoon tea, sounds like it would be nice and relaxed. Whereabouts are you getting married? I like having a look at everyone's venues
Your so organised it's putting me to shame! Can I ask how you made the bridesmaid dressing gowns? I wanted to do something like this for my MOH and BM...
Still need to make my bathroom baskets and flip flop basket as well =/
What options do you have for your centrepieces?
Ooh accessories was a tricky one for me as well, I was lucky that it all just sort of fell into place!

Sparkly Bear - hiya hun
I'm sorry to hear that the job situation is still pants I really hope that your interview went well and that you get the job, I'll cross fingers & toes for you...
Don't feel guilty for letting your OH's parents help, I know a few people who's parents have helped out recently with money because of jobs & unexpected bills. My OH and I had to ask his parents for help about 3 months back when the deposit was due for the photographer 2 weeks before pay day!
Just make a note of it and then maybe get them a nice thank you gift when your back on your feet
Yay for sending invites!! I sent mine last Tuesday ... we can compare how many RSVP's we get back now! I can totally understand worrying about the rain in the post box, that's why I didn't post mine on Monday last week it was horrible weather here Stamps are ridiculously expensive, like we haven't spent enough on the invites already?!
6 months and 2 days to go ?

tookmytime - We are having favours, mostly because our families all love chocolate We're just going to get some silver organza bags and pop a few Lindt chocolates in each

xxx

Hi all,

I have to admit I struggle keeping track with all the different posts, but I'll try and keep up! Lol!

First of all - thanks for the comments on my dress - it is very me and just felt right :-)

Wedding favours - we wondered about these as we are looking at a candy cart and don't want to just provide sweets.

We have found mini jars of strawberry and champagne jam that work out about 50p each so we are going to give those plus a pack of love hearts with our name on as a favour for each table. I think the lindt idea is a great one - something that feels luxurious and is a treat but they won't break the bank!

Got my wedding perfume last night. I had tried to go with florally (not my usual type at all!) but ended up with Black Opium! (If you love vanilla it is worth a sniff!)

Worked out that I like strong perfumes and I shouldn't change myself into someone I don't know for my day - my philosophy for the wedding is keep it right for us not what we think we should do/what others want. OH got Euphoria for Men which I have to admit smells very nice indeed on him - he nearly got lucky last night! Lol!

Hi misslynx
My tip for keeping up with the posts?...Copy it all into a Word document, read the posts, then type a response (it helps that I have two screens at work and can touch type ?)
I think your favours sound lovely, I like the thought of strawberry and champagne jam I may have to hunt down some of this!
Ooh I tried Black Opium it smells amazing, very lovely perfume. I tried quite a few on before I chose Dolce & Gabbana The One, but my MOH has bought Black Opium recently.
Must admit I did chuckle at your statement about your OH :p Maybe I'll tell mine if he finally sorts out his aftershave/fragrance it might work for me lol...
I totally agree with your philosophy hun. My make-up artist summed it up quite well at my trial when she said "You want to be you, the best version of you".
I think that's the same for the wedding day, it has to be us but the nicest version of us ... not the Marvel pj's and heavy metal music that most people know us for!!

We're having favours. Our tables are named after our favourite Thorntons chocolates. So, whatever their table is named, that's what they're getting!

LMP- so glad to hear that things seem to be getting resolved with the BM. It definitely would be nice for him to say something.

I definitely think Skype is going to have to be the way forward with that one. Gotta make the best of a bad situation

I get married in Sedgebrook Hall, Northampton. Most of my family are based there and it's centralized for his family, so it seemed an obvious location.

I bought the dressing gowns from Primark; they had white waffle style ones there for £8. And then I bought blue diamonte transfers from eBay. So each one cost £10; a lot cheaper than a lot if businesses. And it only took 30 mins to do 5. And they look great (if I do say so myself, haha).

Our centerpiece options are: lanterns, martini glasses, lily vase, gold fish bowl, foaming candle dish, bird cages and candelabra. I'm leaning towards the candelabra, but I'm still not sure. What are you doing?

How is everyone on this particularly sunny morning?

Ooh Thorntons chocolates favours ... can I come :p
I'm hoping he does agree to say a few words, he is the blooming best man after all
Wow Sedgebrook Hall is lovely, I bet you'll get some beautiful photos
Ah that's great thanks for tip, I'm totally heading to Primark on my lunch break now!
The centrepiece choices all sound nice, no wonder your stuck...
I'm having these that I put together
(I have flashed them before but any excuse)

Afternoon Ladies,

But random - but hows the weather where you all are? its been miserbale and rainy here and yesterday i heard that mother nature is two weeks behind - in relation to our weddings this is good news becuase it means it will hopefully still be warm and sunny in October for our weddings!

Little Miss Panda - Hey lovely. We can definitely see and compare how many RSVP's we get back! We are still yet to deliver some of invitations as we are doing a family run this weekend and will hand deliver the remaining ones! We sent 24 via post, and then about about another 15 to deliver this weekend! I have a feeling some of our family members probably wont RSVP becuase we know they are definitely coming! Although i went to the trouble of inluding RSVP's in our invitations so I still hope that they do! I had to put a large stamp on mine! Not becuase they are big (only A5ish size) but becuase of the bow on the invitation it woudnt fit through the size thing at the post office! I never knew stamps were so expensive!!

TookmyTime - The reason we have sent ours out now, is that our venue wants final figures 8 weeks before the wedding, which only gives us 4 months. I have sent our day invites this week, and given them 2 months to come back to us, and then once they are all back i will send our evening invitations at the beginning of June and they will then have 2 months to reply, which works perfectly well with our final numbers deadline! I think if you have them, I would send them - its always best to air on the side of caution, and at least then you can get your table plan and place names done early! These are my intensions anyway! For our favours we are having these.....

and then we are putting 'mr & mrs' pieces of rock in them! We are having a beach theme! They were really cheap and wil hopefully look really cute!

TheFutureMrsKay - i love your favours idea!!! I have never heard of anyone doing that before!!!! I would be happy to be a gust at your weddign!!

Miss Lynx - Thats awesome news your have picked your wedding perfume! I have a perfume that i only wear when we are on holiday and i shall be wearing that one on our wedding day! it reminds me of all of our holidays today and has such wonderful memories!

AnnaMolly - Try not to let the flowers thing get you down, this was the area we struggled with the most, and i was expecting to at all. My first two florist appointments were horrible and i really felt disheartened. I think rang round some places and did (more) research before i stumbled across our florist. We only booked our florist 3 weeks ago. I thought it would be the easiest thing to sort, but it wasnt. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you hun. Let us know if you hear back from any of the emails.

Sorry if ive missed anyone! I am trying to reply quickly in my lunch break!

Love and hugs to all xxx

Afternoon ladies ha ha I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles to remember all the posts to reply to! I sometimes make notes ha ha!

LMP - I'm so happy for you that he apologised - fingers crossed he follows through this week and actually starts to step up to the mark!

Sparkly bear - fingers crossed you hear about your job soon lovely, even if it's just something to cover the wedding, I am sure you will find something ? and yes, I was thinking that about the weather as well, the seasons must be late this year so we'll all have a nice mild wedding day!

FutureMrsKay - I love the afternoon tea idea! Can't believe it is so cheap as well, may have to look into that myself...

Tookmytime - I've had an idea for favours, whether or not I can actually be bothered doing them yet remains to be seen! As I'm having an Autumn-y theme, I thought of doing little jars of jam, honey, preserve etc and putting little labels on with our names and dates. Maybe something corny like "spread the love" or something ha ha! Not sure if I'll bother though yet, depends on budget and what we're like for time closer to the date

Thank you all for your lovely comments on the ring, I think I'll order it today, something to look forward to

Hiya

The weather is absolutely pants here! It's raining, windy and quite cold. Hopefully this is good news for October weddings if Mother Nature is indeed two weeks behind!
My OH and I have got to do the last hand deliver run on Friday, as the numpty forgot! I've had 2 RSVP's back so far, quite exciting. I have asked people to RSVP even if they think its obvious their coming, mainly because I'd need their menu choices. Plus like you said, we've gone to the trouble of making them the least people can do is send them back. The Post Office box thingy is exactly the reason I didn't put anything on the outside of my envelopes!
Aw your favours are so cute

xxx

I can't believe so many of you have posted your invites already! Our wedding is on 10th, so quite early, but our friends are making ours for us (one is a Graphic Designer), I went round to their house last weekend and we ordered all the materials online, was thinking of sending mine out end of April - do you think that's too late?

PS - I ordered the ring, so excited for it to come now ?

Hi Ladies,

Wow I need to catch up, this is what happens when I have an actual day of work hehe!

LMP – Damn you and your clever cheat ways hehe! I should have done that! That’s what I need to do with the music; H2B is more of a metal/rock/rap person and im more of a pop punk/metal/Emo person. Maybe we will need to steal your idea of trigger songs! Do you mind?! Really need something like that!

I’m glad my H2B wasn’t the only person who freaked out when he realised how short time frame we had! Hehe!

Glad you got the BM stuff sorted. Hopefully he will slowly buck up his ideas! Also high five on the marvel pjs and metal lol! That’s my normal weekend outfit if nothing has happened, either that or my sonic and little mermaid pj’s!!

Also we keep up with the posts the same way!! Two screens is a big help on this one hahaha!

Thefuturemrskay – Oh that’s so sad about your bridesmaid but at least she is being proactive to take a little of the stress away from you which is nice. Also such a good idea on the afternoon tea, love the afternoon tea!

Any of your centre pieces would look amazing!!

Sparklybear - I’m sorry to hear that it’s still not great on the job front. Hopefully something will come up soon!! Hopefully that the interview that you had yesterday becomes of something. It’s still nice that your OH parents are helping you out. At least they are there to fall back on if things don’t work out great before the wedding, if you want to do something for them afterwards then that’s always an option. It’s always the stress you don’t need right now! Have some strange internet hugs!

Glad that you have got your invites out now! I’m with you and doing some hand delivering for family as the cost is just stupid and if i can save by hand delivering a few then it will be worth it.

Cat D – Your bridesmaid dresses are beautiful. Yey for paying off the rest of the venue!! Woo!!

Tookmytime – We are having handmade biscuits for the favours which me and the bridesmaids and a few others are creating a few weekends before the day and storing them at my mums house. Its going to be a chocolate chip mess hahah.

We are sending our invites in april and may. Ones we can hand deliver in April when we go see H2B family then we are giving out my family when we get home and finally posting the rest in may. It will just save a lot of postage.

Misslynx – Ohhhh that perfumes lovely!! I picked mine in Jan due to the gift sets being cheaper and sales, I have vera wang princess. Its so lovely and cant wait to wear it. Thats currently at my parents as well so I don’t wear it out. Love vanilla perfumes!!

You are completely right about changing yourself!!

Stepied – Yey to ordering your ring!! Wooooo!! It is such a beautiful ring!

Sorry If ive missed anyone off! Sounds like i need to kick my arse into gear as i have done nothing this week so far, although my new car has finally arrived so im currently just toodling around in that being excited about it! Haha! Little things hey!!

p.s. Can i come to everyones wedding as your favours all sound amazinnnnnnnnnnnng!!

Haha you say clever cheat ways, my OH says spreadsheet obsessive weirdo! Feel free to steal the ideas, it's nice to think something I've done is helpful
If its useful our trigger song is Andrew WK - Party Hard. It sounds like we might have similar music tastes...
Lol no every day I tell my OH how many days it is and he goes a little funny grey colour ?
Hopefully the best man will buck up his ideas now, I did hint to my OH that flowers and chocolates are always appreciated hehe
OMG Sonic & Little Mermaid pj's? I am beyond jealous! I thought my Marvel pj's and Panda-monium t-shirt were cool (yes it has a picture of a panda wearing pink glasses)...

Your welcome to come to my wedding but you have to RSVP :p

Hahah in spreadsheet obsessive too! It's crazy what those things can do! Haha!

I will definitely put the idea to the mister, see if he thinks it's good! Also that is the perfect song to switch things around with! I definitely think we have the same taste in music and possibly pjs an films by the sound of it hehe!

maybe we should stop telling our misters or they will end up on the floor, pale as anything in a large state of shock! Haha! ohhhhhj hope BM took the hint and you get some good chocolate, it is Easter so it's like chocolate heaven time so it's not like he has an excuse of not a lot of chocolate on offer ha!

Yeaaaa sonic and little mermaid! They are awesome, h2b says it's like he's living with a child. He hates my minions pjs, I wear them mainly to annoy him hahah! Your panda phs sound awesome! Is it bad that I love a good pit of pjs! If I could I would wear them all the time haha!

yusssss! You know ill be a prompt rspv due to my compulsion of doing things on time or early! I'll trade you for a place at mine! I imagine we would have a whale slid a time at each others hehe.

Well you ladies have been chatty over the past couple of days! Haha.

For favours, i am making fudge (milk choc and orange and white choc and raspberry) them putting in a paper bag tied with sting they will have 2 tags on with name and menu choice. So they will double up as place names.

Weather here is miserable! It has rained on and off (not heavy but heavy enough i cant put washing out) all day and its windy.

So we have been to the venue today and paid the deposit and discussed menu. Now i can get on with invites, i have everything to make them, just need to print out details. Im hoping to get the day invites out asap.

Flowers are my next task and i have no idea what sort of flower i want i have a colour scheme so hopefully the florist will come up with something! Then cars! How is everyone traveling to their wedding? I am so tempted to drive my self, hah, this is the only thing thats a real pain with 3 young children!

Lui I totally agree with you, this whole wedding is only working because of the spreadsheets I've created!!
Party Hard is definitely the perfect song to signal that the music/atmosphere will change ... or as my OH so charmingly put it "It'll tell people that s***'s about to go down!". Isn't he a keeper ?
If it helps I'm happy to email you the spreadsheet of music I made? You can then tweak it to suit your tastes, but any music we do have in common will already be there for you
All the cool kids like Marvel, Sonic, Despicable Me etc ... your OH just needs to get with the program :p
My OH actually encourages my love of pj's by buying me them randomly, I got given a pair of Batman pj's last week!
Lol yeah I'm hoping with all the yummy Easter chocolate around he'll pick me up a little something, then he's forgiven
Haha deal! As long as you RSVP promptly I'll save you a space on the dance floor ?

rach your favours sound really yummy, if you need any taste tasted I'll be happy to help
I'm sure your florist will come up with something great for you, good luck making your invites hope it goes ok...
My best friend is driving me & my dad to my wedding, he's dad owns a nice Jag so he's borrowing that for the day. Not your 'normal' wedding car but it fine with me!

Little Miss Panda,

The strawberry and champagne jam I have ordered for favours (personalised no less!) can be found here at www.tiptree.com

My OH parents love Wilkin and Sons products so I know it will be of good quality.

Depending on flavour it is around £25 for 48 jars, with personalised labels. For 25p each you can buy little bows too!

We are getting free P&P as well - can't remember if it is over £20 or £40 to get this but worth a look. :-)

Thanks everyone for sharing your ideas for favours, I think we are going to have charity ones, hoping to sort something with a local charity that we regularly support anyway.

Annamolly - have you got any further in your quest to find a florist? I'm sure that something will work out, often when you least expect it!

Miss Lynx - I have actually picked my perfume for the wedding day, not like me to be so organised lol Flowerbomb by Vicktor Rolf

Sparklybear - hope you hear something positive on the job front soon, i can understand how worrying it must be for you both.

Our invitations are due to be delivered today, if I'm actually home to receive the parcel, so I can start to think about addressing the envelopes! Our venue need our menu choices approx 6 weeks before the day so hopefully will have the invitations ready to go at the end of the month. We're also using a website for RSVPs and menu choices so I am hoping this will make the process more simple.

What website are you using? This does seem like a good idea for those that would have to post otherwise.

Rach we are using getting married.co.uk tho I believe there are lots to choose from.

Setting it up seems to have been relatively simple, I particularly like that it is easy to enter menu choices for each course and appears to be easy for guests to make their choices. I suppose the proof will be when it starts to be used guests.

We are still sending RSVP cards etc with the invites, more so for some of our older guests who I think won't like the website idea, but I know that personally i would much prefer to RSVP online, I'm not the most organised person so would find it much simpler and so would be more likely to complete in a timely fashion ?

Thanks tookmytime, I'll check it out.

Thats the same here! H2b had to borrow mine to create his own, he still asks me about stuff when he are talking about things. Same with bills though, household would go to pot with out me I swear!!

Hes a charmer, but hey if he wasn't him you wouldn't marry him!

are you sure lovely? That would be cool, even if it's an idea of what other people are doing so I knownhow I have to be nice! I believe a lot of it will probably turn in my car play list as we do seem to have the same taste!

yeaaaaaa he does, pjs are the best!! I like that he tells you to buy more! Least it's not expensive handbags or shoes that take up loads of space! They should be thankful of that hehe!!

ill see you on the dance floor with my shapes and glass of processco, as we all know it's only the best for us ladies!!

Oh I know what you mean about the household going to pot! My OH does not have a single clue what bills are paid when. It's a good thing he trusts me, I could totally rob him without him realising haha!
That's very true as well, I do him to bits
Well that is very true my OH knows that he can't go wrong with pj's or a book ... I'm not very high maintenance am I =/

If you let me know your email address I'll send you my music list
Please bear in mind though the 'Music For Everyone' tab does have stuff I don't like on there, but I wanted to be nice to my guests even if it is only for an hour ?

Glass of processco? Surely you mean a bottle :p

Afternoon Ladies,

I am hoping I am on track and not slacking behind. how are you guys coming along?

I'm exactly the same, I'm like this, this and this needs paying out it in the joint account and he's like OK. So trustworthy hehe. Although I wouldn't rob him!

mine can keep me with pjs, hunger games and laces any day!

thank you lovely I'll pm you my address! Your a star for letting me borrow it!! I promise I won't hold it against you!

I was trying to be classy but your right it'll be more like 1-2 bottles hehe! X

Ok, so I'm annoyed today!

my hairdresser said to my mum today that if I want my hair up (which I don't) or if I want it curly (which I do) I'm gonna need to have 6 inches taken off my hair or it won't stay in all day! I'm so annoyed and just don't think this is true! I've been going to this hairdressers since I was at school and he's always wanting to cut my hair shorter!!

Its not that long!

you see loads of people with long hair curly, surely a professional hairdresser should be able to make it stay curly all day?

This is how long my hair is from when I curled it at Christmas... What do you think?

sorry if the pic hasn't come across right...
