My FI loses weight so quickly it's annoying!
I just started taking medication to help my thyroid - it's helping my weightloss go much faster now - but I HAVE to get to the gym for the arms shoulders and back for the same reason!

I just got the best steal of a deal this morning and I had to share!! I'd found someone in town selling chair ribbons/sashes from her wedding that looked close to my wedding colour from the pictures she had posted. I went over this morning to double check of course, thinking that I'd probably only need half of the 100+ that she was selling. When I got there I was happy that they were the colour I wanted and then she told me that I could just have all of them since she hadn't already counted them out. I felt bad because I hadn't actually brought enough money for the whole lot but she said it was totally okay. So in the end, I walked out with 100+ sashes/table runners that are at least 6 ft. long each... for just $40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's just say that I was completely shocked and totally greatful for how generous this girl was! And now I have enough sashes to decorate just about anything that I can think of LOL!!!

Sweet DEAL!!!! congrats!! I love good deals especially when they're better than expected!!

Did you find it on Kijiji...I'm addicted to kijiji, lol I think I'll go and surf the wedding deals on there now!

What are your colors again Meghan? Purple right?

[ebredhawk]

meghan, that is an AWESOME deal!! gotta love when you get to check things off the list!!

 

for my chair sashes, i ordered them from a lady on ebay... she has specific quantities on her site, but if you email her, she will pretty much sell you however many you want and they are a great price...

eBay Store - ELEGANT PERSPECTIVES: Satin Sashes, Chair Covers

 

FI actually ordered his band ON HIS OWN last night! talk about a victory! he works all the time and we hadn't been able to have his finger sized, but when we were at walmart yesterday he randomly decided he'd go up to their jewelry counter to see if they had those sizer things. they did so he got his size and as soon as we got home he was online ordering!

[caribbeanLover]

good job for the FI!!! If mine did anything on his own without asking for the wedding I.E getting the GM attire and his own attire that would be like pigs flying!

can't wait to see pics!!

Thanks so much for the site going to take a look now!

Yep it was from kijiji!! My sister had reminded me to keep an eye there and one morning I just happened to get lucky!! I'm definitely going to keep my eyes peeled. And yes, my colour is PURPLE!

I agree about the pigs flying comment! LOL! My FI would never go out and actively do anything like that without having specific instructions from me in hand LOL! Sadly his comment last night was "enough with the wedding talk. it seems to consume just about everything these days and it's too far away for that."
Since you're all my April brides I'm sure you can understand my silent screaming when he said that the wedding is TOO FAR AWAY! I'm sorry but six months is going to fly by!! Maybe fly like the pigs, who knows! hahaha!

[SuzyQ76]

So true, so true about time flying by!! I think I just had a mini panic attack!! lol

6 months, wholly crap...I gotta get on the treadmill! lol!

[caribbeanLover]

I guess I should conisder myself lucky, the FI think 6 months with fly by as do I since I'm doing all the planning lol! stressful every once and awhile when I really think about it!! I got cold feet one night too nothing serious ,just wholy crap I'm getting married!!
