Weddings are a pain in arse
Anyone want to get married? It won't hurt a bit...
lol = not for me!!! (seems to be no chance of that on the near horizon, anyway!!). An old friend's sister is getting married later in the year so I need a dress. My mind is a blank...
I've been decorating - 460 square feet of wooden flooring later and I'm a broken women, but with a LOVELY new floor!! 🙂
Rachel
🙁 but 🙂 about the floor. LOL
Yeah - at least I have my priorities straight!! 😉
Oh BTW you've missed nothing on here, there's a "what hoover" thread it's got that dull....
And it was really good to spend quality time with my dad. Even if it was mainly clicking together bits of wood, over and over and over again!!!
Coast have some stunning dresses at the moment. Deffo worth a look.
Dont mind the being married bit - tis the blinkin faff that you have to go through to keep everyone happy in the lead up to it.
A what hoover? Really?? OMG... And I thought it was too boring to mention spending a weekend at an IT conference on Drupal... lol
Rachel
Oh.. wood flooring.. done that one!
I was watching a camera I wanted with 4 mins to go, Mrs Grips said 'oh check what time the garage opens tomorrow'.. so like a fool I did, forgot about the auction cos the garage website wasn't working and now someone else has my stupidly cheap camera.. 🙁

BTFU. Tell them it's your wedding, if they don't like it don't come.
Oh Emma, I'd [i]definitely[/i] be up for the "let's run away to Gretna" option!!!
Ha, well, we didnt want to go quite that far but we started small (like 50 to the evening) and it's grown to well over 100. Oh well, will be a good party anyway 😕

OMG don't they!! waaay out of my price league though
Need to get asked first 😕
I shall have to make a visit to Coast, then - maybe next month, though - just managed to spend £200 between White Stuff and Joules today!!
Still, got plenty of stuff for the GOGO Festival week after next... 🙂

I've spent the weekend rediscovering pushing after a rubbish week off suffering from chronic parcel stress. I'm not as fit as last time I owned a 35lb bike but, you know what? I don't care . . . it's a riot on the downs 😛
Oh and one of my lads is now home from Uni with my eldest returning next week. The 'dirt' house will be full once again and I can play 'mama' 😀
Healing vibes to all those poorly folks too.
Emz I kind think the same but for a special occasion I might one day make an exception 🙂
Deffo go soon! The summer stuff is awesome.
See, I love White Stuff clothes but whenever I try them I just look stupid 🙁
Looking stupid is my speciality!!
Rachel
Yeti, don't think you're quite what I'm looking for.
But I've even bought myself a pretty maxi dress from coast 😀
Maxi-dresses are brill - good choice TSY!!
Maxi dresses make me look like I'm playing dressing up with my mums clothes!!
pics then Yeti.
I too like maxi dresses, not bought one yet. I intend to for me honeymoon
emsz - it helps beings amazingly tall - I have one form the tall range at New Look that would swamp most people!!
err - have we scared off the boys? sorry!!
Come back!!

I never show my face in pics.
Lucky cow! I keep seeing lovely ones all over the place, given up even trying them on! 🙄
How tall is tall though? I'm 5'6 so Im kinda mediocre
Tall - try 6'2" - or 188cm for emsz!!
I thought it would be more of a problem than it is, though.
Rachel
Sunday night Challenge!!! I need to find some nice* Mr & Mrs or Just Married Banners. If anyone can help I shall reward with a nice smiley face cos I am failing miserably 🙁
*must not be the silver foil type ones!
Emma - why not ask Jane (Bunnyhop) to make you some bunting, if you can get material printed with it on??
Rachel
OMG that is such a good idea!
Even flea Bay has failed me this time
Had a quick look, it's all a bit rubbish isn't it?
Edit, lovely idea Rach
You could go for a Kath Kidston kinda style to the fabric and it would look completely different to your average banner
If only I had the same inspiration with my hair...
It's all very rubbish isn't it. Kath Kidston is a good idea. All I want is a reasonably sized banner to hang above the cake which will set against a white wall (with us between the cake and wall when cutting obv) so something large enough to be really noticeable above our heads when we cut the cake
Dont even get me started on hair. I had a trial run last week and I can't decide for the life of me what to do with it. Was very pretty but not really me 🙁
I *have* to go to bed...
Em82, just make sure your stylist does what YOU want not what she wants!!
Dress talk aside ( been there, survived it), me and and a coupla mates did the black at Kirroughtree today, trails dry and swoopy, bike hoovered it all up and had a great day. Came home to a lovely home cooked Diinner and even managed to get a leaking boiler sorted out in time to put my wee boy to bed. An awesome day!
Af is a bitch, also sending positive vibes out to all and hoping that any dress related stresses are abated soon. Oh aye, I've heard that coast stuff is lovely but VERY expensive... £200 for a
Dress? I could get a wheel for that!!
I love Kirroughtree - I never seem to tire of it.
Glad you had a good day there and maybe you have just reminded me to get back up there...
Rachel
lol @althepal I know but the friends I have who would spend £200 on a dress wouldn't be able to comprehend £200 on a wheel either. Personally I'd rather spend it on a wheel but tis fun trying on the dresses 🙂
I'm off too. Night night x
Me too - all day meeting tomorrow about the layout of an intranet site - better sleep now or might be tempted tomorrow!!!
Rchel
I had trouble believing dresses could cost that much until I found out how much the wedding dress cost... FFS!!
(bu tit was worth it- Awwww!)
