Thank you, I love it being simple as well 
I am wearing a hairband with a big white flower in it and some white shoes, not sure if i am going wear tights as by then i feel so fat
Yes it is a maternity dress as well, it is hard to tell on picture but when I get married bigger bump hopefully you can see then

I think it's good it doesn't look 'maternity' - means it's discreet.
Your hairband sounds lovely - are you getting your hair done or are you just doing it yourself? Can't wait to see pics of the big day, it's really exciting!! We got married almost 5 years ago and I still go all goey over weddings.
I'm kinda copying you tonight too - going to Pizza Express for tea! They're doing an offer this week of all pizzas for £5.95 so I could hardly resist that!

I am getting my hair done the day before, there is no way I can sit when I will be a bag of nerves.
Aw, glad I could insist you to go,lol and I am probably going to get a naughty pudding as well. The best of it all is I can come home and done jack all and lounge around, haha
Hope you will enjoy it as much as I will

Well I did have a yummy dinner at Pizza Express last night!!
Although I did have a bit of a funny turn when I was in the shops beforehand, was going back and forth between New Look and Mothercare trying on maternity clothes and in the changing rooms I came over really hot and dizzy, so I left and had to have a sit down and wait until hubby came over.
Not liking these dizzy spells much - make me feel really unsteady on my feet.
Had quite a sucessful shopping trip though - I found a dress I liked for the wedding we've got coming up, and hubby's party, and funnily enough it's a style I would never normally have gone for:
http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/maternity/maternity-ruffle-dress_221962455
So I tried on an 18 - too big, and a 14 - too tight (although fitted which I thought was quite amazing) so I had to go online to order the 16. And happened to find a 20% discount code so I've ordered lots including a couple more dresses that weren't in store.
Oh and I bought a floaty black maternity skirt from Mothercare - £25 down to £12.50, will be good for the summer!

aw, poor you, make sure you get plenty of rest when shopping
The dress looks lurvly and sounds like you got some good bargings. I have brought tons of maternity clothes as my normal clothes make me feel fat (any old excuse for new clothes )

Thanks hun!
Well my New Look order came yesterday, I had good news and bad news.
Good news was the dress I wanted fits lovely! It's a bit shorter than I remember in the shop (I've got a thing about showing my knees so ideally like skirts to be below the knee) but that's ok, and I've successfully found another pair of nice jeans - yay! I'm over the moon about that and they were less than £13 with my 20% discount.
But I'm not keeping the rest - ordered a black maxi dress which just looks a bit too dressy, plus a bit long. Another dress that didn't suit me, and some tops which just didn't fit right.
Never mind - I am very happy with the jeans and dress
Was just chatting to my neighbour who the parcel was dropped off too - it's her last week on maternity leave. She recommended when you find a good pair of maternity jeans, get another pair straight away as you might not find any as nice again... so I might do that with these New Look bootcut ones...

That is so true about maturnity jeans, I have problems with getting any right. Got one pair of skinny jeans that fit perfect apart from the little bump I have, so I have to wait for the bump to grow
I think with online shopping general it is a hit and miss game, I am luckily though that I fit in perfect size 16 Next, phew!

I haven't tried Next as I'm a bit stingy when it comes to buying clothes and tend to stick to the cheap shops (esp as I won't be wearing them for that long...). I just think there is minimal cheaper ranges.
Got a bit of a dillemma at the mo - not sure what to do. I'm going on a spa day on the 20th May when I'll be 21 weeks... so I need to get into a swimming costume. So I'm stuck whether to buy a maternity one or not... but I'm not even sure I'll wear it again if I do.
I think I'll hang on until closer to the time and see if I can still squeeze my belly into the size 16 one I've got, and maybe try an 18 normal if not. As they're all about £25 for maternity ones - and I don't want to spend that if I'm only going to wear it once!

I brought a lot of maternity wear of ebay.
Personally I would buy one closer to the time and it probably be a maternity one for comfort

I am stingy aren't I??
I think it's a psychological thing - I have lots and lots and lots of clothes at home. Unfortunately only a small amount fit me as they range from size 12 upwards. So in my head I can't justify spending money on more clothes if I've already got lots (even if they don't fit).
BUT over the bank hol weekends we've vowed to have a major sort out of everything in the house ready to start decorating and shopping for the baby.
This will include me chucking/donating all the clothes that don't fit me, apart from any really nice pieces. I do plan on getting down to a 12-14 post baby (same plan I had pre baby to be fair!), but I guess I'll just have to get new clothes if that happens as I can't just keep tons of clothes that don't fit!
Oh and I have a bit of a fear of ebay too - one of my friends had an unfortunate experience and I've avoided it ever since... but maybe I can ease myself in if I find a maternity swimsuit...

Um... well I've gone and ordered a load of stuff off Dorothy Perkins now. I did have a 20% discount code (again) and there were some nice dresses I might end up swapping for the purple one... plus some tops in the sale I couldn't resist... I'll probably end up sending half back again!
