Thats so nice but after reading the info in the "what I would and wouldnt do again" thread I dont think I can justify the extra cost... plus theres only 15 of us so it would kind of lose its effect as a single tier.. or be served for every course at our dinner.. which is starting to seem more cost effective now I think about it, everybody likes cake dont they?.. ha ha

So im back, not that I've been anywhere just not really had the time or opportunity for my favourite past time of forum surfing... bummer! So we're past the 5 months mark and I still dont have a dress.. yet! I got sorted with my magic undies which are comfortable and very effective which is a combination I never imagined I would find! ha ha Although I have discussed a dress design with a dressmaker as I still haven't had my measurements done I saw a nice dress from Marks and Spencer online which I thought I could use as the basis for my dress and have my dressmaker do some alterations, basically I loved the dress when it came but didnt like the fabric so I returned it only to have a major hassle with the company who refused to refund it cos the security tag had not been attatched to it prior to dispatch! Anyway after a strongly worded letter and a long wait they refunded yesterday.. Hurrah! Im now forming the basis of the top half as the design for mine but still waiting to schedule in for my measurements. We are also now learning to scuba dive in time for our wedding, not bad considering I only learned to swim 2 years ago and had been petrified of water most my life! Im finding it harder to master the skills than I thought I would and was really panicky on our first lesson but definately getting better and starting to enjoy it. Not looking forward to the open water dives in a quarry, in the UK, in winter but there you go... Still no joy in hearing from our travel agent regards my complaints letter, I have passed the matter onto ABTA but not holding my breath for a favourable outcome. Fi and his dad have had major fallings out over money which has put a massive dampener on everything that im just trying to ignore.. the whole thing started over a disagreement about money and descended (on his dads part) into hurtful, longstanding issues which really had nothing to do with anything, least of all his sons wedding! They have made up now but I know Fi is still really hurt by a lot of things that were said and is consciously aware of not ever asking his dad for anything again in order to avoid it being thrown back in his face! Whoever said that a DW would be cheaper and less stressful lied.....

Most Likely Would you ever pretend to not be at home when your Fi's family comes round?

No, he'd come anyway if he knew I really wanted to go. Would you ever sit in the back row of the movie theatre....doing more than eating popcorn?

OOh Love your dress choices, maybe I missed it on the forums but have you chosen one yet? I really like "Macey" the fluid shape of the skirt really feels right for a D.W but I love the fit of "Mikaella". I know from personal experience that the style of the "Mikaella" suited me much better even though I would have imagined to prefer the style of "Macey". Good luck with your decision.

So tomorrow will be exactly 6 months to go to our day... Im freaking at how quickly its all going. On a downer, we still haven't heard from Thomas Cook customer services regarding our complaints letter. We wrote a strongly worded letter and gave them a month to reply and that was up today and I've heard nothing. In protest I started getting quotes in from other TA's and they still cant match, let alone beat their prices. Im gutted that after all this stress and terrible customer service we still have to give the B*~?*<DS our cash cos we cant afford to cancel, lose our deposits and re-book with another more expensive agent. So on a happy note I bought my wedding shoes today... only £22 and im really pleased cos I've been looking for ages for pretty, wedding style peep toes with NO HEEL and I finally found them Hooray! Also my magic knickers arrived from QVC, not quite as pretty or wedding night friendly! Not plucked up the courage to try them on yet, probably keep that little "event" for Sunday morning, what better way to work off a hangover, LOL.

Oooh they are sooo pretty! Really individual, they'll look fab, dont forget to post pictures of your big day so we can get the full effect.

OOOh No, not for me, cant get my head around the girl on girl biology ha ha!!! Would you ever..... pay for a lap dance?

Hell yes! I'd be so proud! I love his butt so much that to share it with the world would be such charity! ha ha Would you ever... comment on someones plastic surgery to their face?

Ha Ha, maybe in my younger days, not really the same effect in my SPANX! Ha Ha Would you ever pose topless for a lads mag

Fun times : Holidays

No... The catholic guilt runs deep!!! Would you ever... kiss and tell for cash?

Night out : Party

Sounds like an Italian resturant, which I love. Tapas?

Noooooo! Would you drink your own urine to stay alive?

Good one! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious : even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

Dislike: Victoria Beckham?
