I know Scarlett, I like to get a much time at home as possible but leaves me very little time to settle back in

oh you should eat lunch. I didn't have any today (main meal was meant to be ready for 3, not nearly 5) so am starving now. Just had a couple of pieces of wafer ham, apple, pear and a yogurt. still hungry and mum and dad keep wandering back from the kitchen with HANDFULS of after 8 mints. Grumble Grumble

Hi ladies, been so busy and tired so not been on for a couple of days! Not feeling too good at the moment, been having stomach pains on and off for last few days and the for 2 hours this evening I got awful pain which was constant but had stronger waves coming throughout it and it went right through to my back. It was so bad I was considering going to a&e but it'd calmed down a bit now so I wont. Hope it doesn't come back though.

I went wedding dress shopping yesterday ladies! Tried on about 40 dresses (not exaggerating there either!) and found two I really like. One is pretty much what I always imagined i'd wear, but the other is COMPLETELY mental and nothing like I ever thought i'd go near, really princessy and HUGE! but I love it! I only tried it on to humour my maid of honour, didn't expect to like it! Would any ladies like to see photos.....?! xx

 

[Franalamadingdong]

YES PHOTOS NOOOWWWWW!!!!!

Sorry about the pain that sounds rotten, glad it has passed now though.

 

[sammiec]

Awwww


I'd like to be cheeky and say yes to photos Sammy!

 

[CiaraDaisy]

Photos

 

[CH2b]

Yes please give me dress envy! lol

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Absolutely! X

 

[sammyb1985]

haha ok unfortunately they're not photos of me in the dress as i wasn't allowed to take any, so these are images from online. The first one's not from the designer's website as there is no way to link to the specific dress, just the site, so you'd have to trawl through looking for the name and that would take forever if you didn't have an idea of what you were looking for, so it's just a photo of it that I found on another site.

This first one is the kind of wedding dress I always imagined i'd have... Wedding Dress D4031 Eternity Bride - tell the bride

And this is the fairytale glamour princess dress that I never EVER ever thought I would like at all... Bodice & Bustle : Quality Wedding Gowns

xx

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Wow! both gorgeous but totally different! Love them! Shame you can't take photos x

 

[sammiec]

I thought i loved the 1st one, but the 2nd one is beautiful......it's like princess but not too ott, still very designer!!!

When's the big day!!?

 

[sammyb1985]

scroll down the page on the second one to see more images of it and the close up of the bodice, it makes me look tiny! xx

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Oooh, they are both gorgeous! Pretty dresses boo for not being allowed to take photos of you in them

 

[sammiec]

Ps utterly naff about photos........

 

[sammiec]

I can see how it would. It is beautiful. Love love love!

 

[CiaraDaisy]

Beautiful dresses. I'm really drawn to the secon it like. Fairy tale dress wow x

 

[CH2b]

the second one is lush, aslong as you can sit down to eat in it lol they are a pain for not letting you take pics alot of people i know just take sneaky pics while the assistants aint looking lol

 

[sammyb1985]

Yeah they don't like you taking photos for copyright purposes because some people then try to get them made cheap (i actually found a site that does both these dresses really cheap in china but not sure i trust it!) but whenever I saw those dresses I always thought they looked like toilet roll holder dolls (my nan has one sat on the back of her toilet lol) so completely dismissed them, but when I tried it on I was surprised at how much I liked it! They put a mid length veil and a tiara on me with it on (which I never thought |I wanted either) but I loved them! Turns out that now i've lost a bit of weight i've turned girly lol! xx
