Samcalv1 What a wonderful dress its very different and i love the bottom.Fab choice x Michelle You should be able to find small size brown shoes in Next i think I also think they stock small suits if not suits im sure thet do the little linen trousers and waistcoats. Kiwimel The images we have seen coming from Christchurch have been hard to watch.Lets hope more miracles happen over the next few days.I hope all your friends and family are safe Thinking of you xx My poor mum is back in hospital!!!!!!!!!! I spoke to her yesterday morning and was surprized she didnt call me in the late afternoon to see how i was doing with my bathroom makeover.I called her at tea tme and there was no answer.I rang at about 7.30 and my brother answered and said oh didnt you know she was rushed to hospital with her gall bladder.At about 11.00 she started getting bad pains she wouldnt let dad ring the dr but by 1.00 she said call him.He arrived 20 mins later and hed called the ambulance she was n a cold sweat so was unsure if she was having a heart attack. Anyway she was tansfered to Limerick over an hours drive from her home where she remains on a drip.The annoying thing is she was due to have the gall bladder removed at the end of this month after her last flair up when they gave her 6 weeks of antibiotics.Apparantly the gallbladder cant be removed if its inflammed.A letter arrived today with a date for surgery the 7th march.I ust hope she dosent have to wait long now cos our holiday back to Zante is th 22nd May. Ive not spoken to her today as my dad packed the hospital bag and left her charger.He meant to take it today and had packed it but took it all out to check it was there and left it behind.I wouldnt of wanted to of been in his shoes when she realized !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shes very pissed at the moment wanting to come home cos she thinks theyve done nothing with her at all today except move her to a different ward. My dad arrived at the ward hed left her in last night to be told shed gone to say c1 he arrived to be told no Patricia ohalloran here.He went to every ward and then went back to the first one again the nurse turned around and said loudly theres no Mrs Patricia Ohalloran here is there to which she got Patricia Ohalloran? umm no.My dad then heard yep here my mum was lying in the bed had been there for much of the morning WTF They had her as Patricia OGorman!!!! her address is 1 OGorman st. No wonder shes fed up bless her she will go mad if they send her home and cancel her op for the 7th likewise if my dad forgets the phone charger tomoz he will need a hospital bed

oh im on a roll now thats what happens when youve been to work from 3 till 12.30 had one southern comfort and a scoop of movenpick ice cream i stink of fajitas and cant sleep.If you go down the vista magnet route order the stickers then you can wrap the magnets in tissue paper and stick um xxx nite girlies xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx off to trawl facebook now its bloddy 2 oclock ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Michelle just had a thought about Scarlett unless shes poorly she may be having a growth spurt and is waking up hungry.It might be worth giving her a snack before bed time just to see or a milky drink.Nothing worse than being tired is there, well actually havin just said that there is. being hungry needing a wee or worse still needing a poo.SORRY I LOWERED THE TONE THERE.God i should know with ibs hahaha seriously i hope you get some sleep xxxx

Oh congratulations Ashley, Cuba looks fab happy planning you really have come to the right place xx

Lynsey glad the dress made everyone emotional you kinda know its the right one hehee Michelle sounds like a case of very sour grapes from the (friend) i dunno what the best answer is really but f..k um who cares you and your babies hubby to be and all your invited guests are about to enjoy the best wedding theyve ever been to.Bar one of course but thats kinda alright cos you dont want her to have the time of her life anyways do you meaowwwwww.Sorry get me a saucer of milk. ohhhhhhhhhhh i nearly forgot i got a photo of Paul and i on our wedding day i think its the confetti throwing one and had magnets made up as thankyous really cheap and i think they look as if i spent time and money on them when infact they were from good ole vista.Maybe worth it girls wink wink

Ah Josie good to have you back MRS.Glad you had a fab time and bless the wedding coordinator crying how sweet of her to care so much.Your dress looked fab by the way.xx I wonder how many girls will drag there hubbys to the beach now for a quiet moment thats really a special touch to anyones wedding day.xx

Im looking to sell my wedding gown worn in Greece in September.Its a uk size 14 bridal which if im right is a usa size 10.Im looking for £200 plus shipping.The lace is stunning maybe someone considering a knockoff lace dress from China would consider having my fabulous lace dress its very spanish looking and very different from anything else i tried on in my search for a very different wedding dress.I have seen this dress with the straps removed and it did look very nice, just a thought maybe.It is ivory in colour i didnt get it cleaned it did not get wet or sandy as we were away from the beach im 5ft 4 but wore three inch platforms so maybe he dusty bottom would be removed for alterations.I WILL SHIP TO THE USA AND CANADA CHARGING NO MORE THAN THE ACTUAL COST TO ME

Well girlies the excitement is mounting........... Firstly i gotta say youve been busy each and every one of you.Janapana your coming home glad it all come together quickly for you. Theres deffo some witchy mothers in the pack right now.Did you make the top to small for the MIL from hell Michelle id of been very tempted lol Sorry about the job Nicky but hey ho the time may not be right just yet.At least you dont have the pressure of a new job and the stress that goes with that and maybe you might get a small buzz that your shitty job is payng you 2k more (does that make sense) Michelle i lovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee your airport tops but for the untalented diyers i got all of our airport T-shirts from good ol vista.I ordered 16 in total even Chloe whos 7 today/yesterday!!! wore the smallest and i belted it with a hot pink belt and she wore it a a dress.I had printed im off to Paul and Marias Greek wedding with a bride and groom in our colours and on the back i put everyones name.They were a huge hit and we all looked so good together everyone wore one from age 7 to 74.I ordered them as and when the postage was free etc. Idid do the bride to be and flower girl bridesmaids ones however chloes didnt stand up too well but it served its purpose i guess..We didnt do OTT bag we did the t shirts paid for the transport to the airport for everyone, did pashminas for the girls raffia fans and jelly bean cones.No one expected anything so was thrilled with what they got.Infact Katie Ryans girlfriend was wearing her pashmina on Monday evening. I cant believe how the time has flown by and for most of you its weeks now not months Im undecieded about what to do with my dress at the mo there is a dress agency in our town that i called into today and she said shes doing a wedding fair this weekend and would sell it fo £400 and give me £200.Now id be happy to get tghe two for it but am not sure id want to give her £200 for putting it in the boot of her car then hanging it on a rail.Am i being daft i could use the £200 to put in a fund pot to buy a ring to sit aalongside my wedding band. Are any of you doing the paper lanterns i soooo wish id done them or the ones that float on the water.Hwkin bazaar had the lantern bags today i noticed id of got them aswell lol I so wish i was still planning : ( Hey hooo ill carry on with the bathroom makeover just completed sams bedroom once the bathrooms done th living room is nxt. For most of you girls it will be getting a dog or making babies lol my days are over ..................... Happy planning keep the piccies coming .............................. AND FOR ALL THE GIRLS WITH MIL FROM HELL KILL UM WITH KINDNESS WHEN SOMEONES WATCHING AND GIVE THEM THE TWO FINGER SALUTE WHEN THERE NOT XXXXX My first MIL was from hell and still today 20 years after my divorce i wouldnt pee on her if she was on fire.If she stepped/fell of the kerb as i was driving past im not even sure id swerve to miss her the old fire breathing dragon. hahahaa sleep well xxx

Amurka........... Welcome on board this place is addictive just wait till you see what you can diy to make your wedding planning even more stressful.Your dress is beautiful well done on getting this big item ticked off the list. Where abouts in Kent are you from? I got married in hot pink shoes i posted my review take a look if you get a chance oh and i did a planning thread under our greek wedding i think xx Anyway welcome and happy wedding planning xxx Michelle ........ Thats the first time ive seen your dress its very princess like, you will look stunning. Janapana stay in Spain we would all jump if we could life is hard here at the mo, but the difference is the weather here is shit for at least 7 months. Im sure im not the only one who cant wait for Josie to post piccies.

Girls my mil is a nutter a sweet kind needy childlike woman who looks like a man hehe i do love her honest BUT we lived all 16 of us in the villa for the whole week.I lost itin the first 5 mins of arriving at the house cos Paul sorted out the bedrooms but then had to take it back cos it meant someone didnt have a bed for the week.All we could hear was" i wanted that room i liked that room Eddie i really wanted that room." Paul was stressing so i shouted as i was going down the stairs "oh have it it just means someone else cant have a bed this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep she was upset as was eddie cos i shouted at her BUT Paul gave them its your holiday but our wedding chat and all was forgiven. To be honest there were enough of us that apart from breakfast time when i sat and drank tea i was able to not get streesed by them both. Im sure if the mil does come you can ignore her in a huge resort.We managed it very well in hindsight and lived in the same villa. Girls you will be fine xxx Did anyone check my i do letters for the nibbles hehehe!!!! I think they considered the rat almost as a friend/pet. Have a good day today girls xxx

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jo tonight you sleep tomoz you fold xxxx

Michelle i hope your just having few off days i dont know if there is room for the building of your relationship or even if your open to it happening.However if there is ever the opportunity for bridge building your wedding may prove the turning point.Its sad that it got so bad but sometimes we meet people that we really dont click with who we consider greedy nasty selfish etc and they bring out the worse in all of us.My mum has been married for 47 years shes english hes irish and there have been many rows fall outs and utter hatred with his sisters well one of them mainly.Its only in the last 10 years that one of them has seen what my dad can be like and has actually mellowed.If one of them dared to knock the front door my mum would leave by the back.My dad knows the are nasty but there family so he puts up.My mum knows a HUGE secret about the worse one that would shock the whole catholic family.She caused her own parents marriage break up and was sleeping with an older married man over 50 years ago.I hope things calm down and probably you are the only person getting worked up by it.Kill her with kindness if all else fails whilst on your wedding honymoon rise above her and anyone else whos going to take all your positive happy vibes xx chin up sweetie she did one thing right she gave you your hubby to b wink wink

Jo i think you did very well to keep a positive attitude and im sure if we are honest there are minor things we would change.I would of drunk the champagne we bought at Gatwick before leaving,.I would deffo had eyelash extensions the mac ones didnt work as well cos of the acrylic nails we were wearing.I deffo needed to tone the jelly wobble arms and the half a stone that made my dress wrinkle through the middle.I would not of allowed Chloe to wear a guests hair flower instead of the one that was clipped to her dress.I should of wrote down how i wanted everything laid out cos when it came to the sand ceremony the vase(ikea one) wasnt there and the wedding coordinator ran off to find it.They had used it to put the orchids in instead of putting the orchids in the goldfish bowls with water and the led lights.I also had the screaming child the ikle greek family we invited bought there lttle boy who touched a light that was under a tree so burnt his hand,bless him he cried the whole way through. Somehow i found a very chilled side of my character and actually said a wedding isnt a wedding without a screaming child got to be a lucky omen wink wink THAT SAID we had a fabulous day, yep if i was doing it again id loose the bingo wings and drop 7 pounds girls instuct a friend to go check how everything is set up its not going to be major issues but i did get two of joshs friends to do some checking and to them it was perfect and it was (almost),So write it down do a plan and hand it to a buddy. I havnt told anyone this but the day before the wedding i went to get the boxes we had placed in there container they were shipping.The owner sent me with a member of staff and as she opened the door to the cupboard she said mind the rat.RATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUMPING BACKWARDS Anyway there was no way i was going in there wtf rat!!!!!!!!! I couldnt wait for her to get my flowers and i was outta there(i have a bad phobia of mice and rats)I had one in kitchen at my old house and when it was caught and waved at me i collapsed in a heap wet myself, wailing like an iranian woman whos family had been wiped out in bombing If you check out our wedding pics you will see my i do letters nibbled and they had placed one letter over the other to cover the bite marks Im relieved he took a fancy to the pink sparkly and not the jelly beans Im sure Jo,i cried every day driving to work going over the ceremony in my head soooooooooooo girls i think both Jo and i would say you NEED to have a break down so the tears are fine;;) no bridezillas though and it will be perfect cos you get to marry the man of your dreams Jo you look beautiful and there is no hint of the drama in your piccies actually one of my favs is the one with your little boy at the altar. WASHING DONE YET OR BURNED? XXXX

Burn the next few loads of washing no one will notice hehehe

Hi jo sorry its all over for you but delighted you had such a fab time.Plan somink for a couple of months time when youve exhausted the photo viewings and the only way anyone will look at a wedding photo or dvd is if you hold them hostage lol. I loved the piccie of you and your ikle girl looking in a mirror and the one of your handsome ikle son sat on tha altar. We cant wait for the inside info of what happened as you already gave us a taster. Gotta say you looked stunning your hair makeup dress and shoes were perfect for mexico xxxx

Josie good to here from you, and that its hot, i felt exactly the same i was on holiday he he.The perfect build up to your wedding day. Waybuloo.. I think the shoes are really sweet Bhs usually have some bridesmaid shoes with a little heal.We bought flip flops in the end from dotty ps as Amy was worried about blisters and they were a perfect match for her dress

Michelle loovveee your wedding band shame about the old witch.Im sure you have many ways to repay her kindness and love lol.How about a beautiful bouquet for your mum and a bunch of, oh bugger what are they called??????????????? ttttt,t piss the beds........... Dandelions lol The hairband you bought was the one i nearly ordered pondered too long and then it was to late for delivery you have great taste lol xx Nicy deffo a good plan to have a low key AHR if the pennies are tight. We paid a lot to get all our papers translated however it was going to cost us over £500 for the registry office its deffo swings and roundabouts as far as costs go.Peligoni charged us 15 euros a head for greek starters lamb roast and our weddind cake plus 5/6 bottles of prosecco and tea/coffee. so we made huge gains there. I nearly bought a berkatex dress it was just outta my budget but it did keep calling me.You will have to go try on just to take piccies for us all xx

Nicky i love the hair comb very pretty. Jo good to hear from you glad you were married minus the wedding band.Kids always have a habit of playing up when you dont want them to. My advice is to have a play area just off to one side with a few props.just leave them there and let the kids find them almost giving them the impression that there there but not for them lol.Maybe some shovels a box decorated with treasure etc.I know from when mine were little and Pauls now when they get the hump and you try talking them into doing something they dont play.So get all the guests to let them be so not to get them hot and bothered.They get embarrased at being the centre of attention and the less stressed they are the more fun everyone has.

Oh Josie i probably have missed you but i hope you have the wedding of your dreams.I know you will look fabulous in your dress.Looking forward to hearing all the news on your return. Girls my mood has been lifted we booked to go back to zante on the 22nd of May AND my mum and dad are coming YAY .They live in Ireland and i got to see my dad once last year so it will be fab to spend time with them both I dont know if any of you remember my dad wouldnt come to the wedding.I will take him to Peligoni and show him where were were married lol xx

Does anyone know which day Janapana becomes a Mrs?

Charmaine Congrats on your decision to get married here.Theres no stopping you know girl.I hope the flowegirl dress lives up to your expectations How fabulous your friend has offered you the golf club fingers crossed the price fits your budget. Now you have the date set you can go full steam ahead. You have lots of time to find the perfect dress dont be temped too soon you can probably find the dream dress at a bargain price with the summer and winter 2011 sales.Have fun trying on think how mant trips you can have ;) xx Josie the countdown has finally begun 4 days yay xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks girls xxx

Thanks girls didnt want to bring you all down just thought id give you a heads up maybe if you get some wedding cash use it for a holiday or in Michelles case a boob job lol. Michelle dont get the boob job when i worked in radiology the number of woman that didnt get the best from mammos and ultrasounds and even biopsies because the image was blocked was unbelievable just invest in gel bras xxxx Is it me or is there bugger all on telly for a sat night x

girls dont talk to me about post wedding blues i dunno if its cause ive felt so shit with the flu for the last ten days but im sooooo down im sure if i sat at the gps and groizzled hed sign me off.We are living in a house we cant really afford that no of us love trapped by a mortgage we are tyed into till 2012/13 so therefore we have very little cash and although it feels good that we are looking to clear our debts this year we dont hve anything to look forward to theres no babies coming in this house at almosast 45 im waiting for grandchildren lol.We went out this afternoon looking at paint my eldest son is going to india for 5 weeks on tuesday and we are going to do some decorating.We stopped and went for a meal and after two glasses of wine there i sat with tears rolling off my chin i am so fed up and the only way i can explain it is i have nothing to look forward to we havnt got a holiday booked this year cos we dont want to put anything on a credit card.Im hoping we can visit my mum and dad in ireland in the summer and then go to new york for nov/dec/.I guess what im trying to say is i think there will be post wedding blues and i think cos m stilll feeling below par the emotion that is bubbling under the service rose its uglyhead.We/i have never been so broke and in 2013 things improve for us finacially with endowments but for now life is shittt!!! SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO If there is anyway you can plan something for later in the year do it Michelle glad you found something in the ELC XXX

Michelle i got our year old guest a bride and groom in a horse and carriage from the early learning centre it was £10.00 What about some magic tricks for the older lad? maybe? Hawkins bazaar might be the place for him x
