oh that's handy to know, thanks! how many you got going to Aruba? how fabulous!

wow! 30lbs well done! that's an amazing achievement! how have you done it? i don't know how bad the mosquitos are, but always best to be prepared. we use some stuff called Mossi Milk (I think) which is meant to be good. it needs to have a high concentrate of Deet.

ohhhhh Aruba! how lovely! have you been before? where was your Bacherlorette party? looks ace! what are you doing for your OOT bags? x

mad. definitely mad

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Hello date twin!! well done on the weight loss, how much have you lost? i am a ball of nervous energy today, can't sleep, can't eat, can't do anything! but im soooooooo excited! most stuff is now done, i'm picking my dress up Sat (same as you, losing weight so had been putting it off!) and my H2B get's his shirt and his ring tomorrow. the only things left are little things. you know? call xyz, pick up some holiday clothes from the dry cleaners, don't forget to pack mossi spray etc. I am sooooooo excited!!

NO WAY?!?!!! is it always like that?! my god!!! awwww that's sooooooooooooo romantic, i LOVE that story! how fabulous!! we got engaged in 5 weeks, so i'm with you, when you know, you know! <3

i received my jewellery this morning! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! it's exactly what i wanted, but 1/4 of the price!! I had a girl make it for me (laura@lobster-love.co.uk) and i had seen a necklace i wanted and it was £89, she made me the entire SET (necklace, bracelet and earrings) for £50!!! what a bargain! it came so beautifully packaged too, it was like receiving a very special present. i would so recommend her to all UK Brides! this is it

JOSIE : It really is shocking how much they spend on weddings! $70,000....I couldn't believe it!! Some of them are amazing though! I love all the little extra touches! Joanna: It's a pitty we are getting married in different resorts!! However we fly out n the 5th of January too!! are you flying into cancun? we might be on the same flight! We're heading to manchester on the 4th and staying the night and taking the night before check in because it takes away so much stress, used that facility the last 2 years in a row and it's well worth it! Who are u flying with? We're booked thru FC and flying with Thomsons. Ther will be 16 of the 24 of our group going on that flight! Ha would be great to say hello! And just another strange coincidence! I mentioned my MOH is out in spain the now, also near alicante! I don't know the exact spelling of the town but sounds like 'Hon don'?! My work is closing down for a refit soon so if I have time and funds think I'm gonna hop on a flight and go visit her for a day or two! Just surprise her and show up! She stays out there 3/4 months at a time then comes back here, her family moved out there a few years back. Nicy : Aw I cant believe we are at 6 months already! we started or countdown at 18 months!! Aw 9 years congrats!! Kerry : Thats a fab idea doing a surprise party for FI!! I agree invite everyone!! haha!! you'll fill that hall up no problem!! I hope you have a blast and everything will be organized before you know it!! Jodie.xx P.s can someone please tell me how to use MQ as I obv dont know how to!! hey honey to MQ just hit the MQ button at the bottom of each post you want to quote, one you have them all press quote on the last one and it will do them all how do you arrange the night before check in? i'd be interested in that too! can you do it with thomas cook flights? xxx

what made you move? is your H2B english or spanish? tell me about the horrors! I don't know aynthing!

awwwwww FABULOUS!! that is soooooooooooooo exciting! i loved it when people were booking! that's so nice for him, he'll be over the moon! Andy doesn't have any of his friends coming unfortunately great news about the bags, i think i got mine from there too and they're very cute!

oh lovely! how long you been over there? how idealic! i cant sit still. i can't eat. i can't sleep! it's jsut sooooooooo exciting!

haha! you should still speak to them i think (most clubs need at least 6 weeks notice) as he'd still be chuffed! ohhhhh lovely weekend plans! where in spain are you? i fly on the 25th! i can't believe it! my heart may stop beating by then, honsetly, i don't think it's possible to live long if your heart beats this fast constantly!

love your sig pic!! so cute! it's cold here at the mo, you have stolen our sun how's the hangover now?! unfortunately not a lot! just come with an empty suitcase and go back with a full one! haha! I just spoke to the secretary of the West Ham Manager and she's getting me a letter signed for my H2B to say congratulations!! I am soooooooooooooooooooooo happy, he's going to be over the MOON! i can't wait for the Best Man to read it out at our wedding breakfast! life is goooooooooooooood! although, i am a BALL of nervous energy today! x

awwww don't worry honey, i bet you end up full up! just invite everyone! haha! my wedding jewellery just turned up, i just love it soooooooooooooooooooooo much! i will update my planning thread! how is everyone today? x

go with your heart on the invites, the ones you love will be the ones you should get! and make sure you order one too many so you can keep one, i have a memories box and i have one of everything in there! I can't believe how close the wedding is now! i can't wait! i have a constant ball of anxiety in my stomach, but i love it! also, i weighed in at Boots this morning and i've dropped a BMI category and i'm so pleased!

i don't feel nervous, i feel excited, and i feel a little bit anxious, i feel like a lot is riding on my shoulders you know? i am just worried that it will be rubbish or that i'll forget something or that we'll run out of money or something! you know? i know it's silly because we're sorted, but they are the things on my mind. i lost 4lb last week at fat club, and since then i've eaten like a bloody horse!!! i can't seem to stop! i get weighed again tomorrow and i bet i've put on. doesn't help that i'm also a week 'late' (done a test, not preggars) but that's annoying because i want it to come and go before we go to Mexico! obviously!

Hey Kerry 'most' things are done now! got a few bits to finish up! andy's gettnig his ring Thurs, we also need to get his shirt and my dress both from the dress makers/tailor. i 'think' that's about it! how mad is that?! it's SUCH a weird feeling! Andy said he came to bed last night and i was talking about dresses and putting them in cases and hanging them so the creases fall out! haha! wedding on my mind!

hey Chelle, just so you know! all the reports i have read said rain rain rain, but everyone i've spoken to in Cancun (florists, catamaran charters, WC etc) have all said it's gorgeous! just half hour of rain a day! don't worry! enjoy! good luck xxxx

help. bloody mary's ALWAYS help!

oh, and i forgot! i had little books made as our 'thank you gifts' for our two youngest wedding party people. Eddie is 2 and elli is one. this is Eddie's book

I also went to the AHR venue on Saturday and met up with our fabulous photographers, who are great! we walked around the town looking for area's to have pics etc. i want really urban photo's, i want pics of me and H2B in our wedding outfits in a bus queue, getting money out of an ATM, shopping in a supermarket etc! we had fun looking at venues! this is a pic of our AHR venue, it looked lovely in the beautiful weather and i'm sooooooo excited now!

done a few more bits this weekend. I feel like the wedding is REALLY happening now! Sat and Sunday i woke up about 6.30am and couldn't get back to sleep! and i've had a bit of an upset stomach, and i think it's just excitement/nerves! haha! hopefully it'll result in a weight loss! I made the wedding party t-shirts (my mother in law to be and my sister in law to be already have theirs, so i couldn't take a pic! soz!) but these are the ones for my mum (mother of the bride) my best friend (maid of honour) and my bridesmaids, page boy and our wedding mascot Joe Joe! they've come our really cute i think! i also wrapped the presents, only put the paper on for now, will attach the ribbon in mexico, this is what they look like wrapped, and he's a demo of the one with the ribbon!

haha! lots of sleep and r&r today! (p.s. banana's and milk cure hangovers!) x

hahaha! brilliant! bet it was an amazing party! congrats! 6 months! that will FLY by!! enjoy!

i've sent you an email xx
