Aww Charmaine i am so glad you had a nice weekend and your mum's got on well. What a weight off. Maybe she is now realising what she is missing out on and you and Wayne are getting married no matter what and she's 'seen the light'.. fingers x'd for you that it continues ).... sadly my MIL dont give a s**t and its to late for us to go back now... still her loss, she's had nothing to do with our wedding and to be honest i'm quite glad she's out of the picture now. I am dreading 2 weeks away with her... just glad its a massive hotel ) x

Phew Charmaine!  What a hectic time you are having aye?  Im glad the last few days have been so much more bareable - you sound a lot happier!

 

Well the invites arrived today - I love them!  Some tags for my fans came through to which I LOVE!  I will see if Chris can help me take pictures and stick them on here tonight as I am completely cack handed at this sort of thing.

 

Anyone using vista print for stuff at the moment?  I was thinking of creating some brochures but I dont know where to even start?  I would love to see some of yours if you wouldnt mind?  Im also looking at doing luggage tags and maybe envelope seals but Id like to see them first!  I want to put the seals on my individually wrapped cigars for the mens favours.

 

Any help would be great?

 

Thanks dudes!

Yah Mel would love to see the bits you got )

 

Well girls been to the doc's today. Turns out i have a water infection so have antibiotics for that. I've also torn a ligament of some sort around my left butt cheek which is causing the pain in my bum and lower back (says common sports injury so must have right overdone the excercise) so got strong pain killers for that. He said if it dont improve after the course of tabs to go back as may be my kidneys but highly unlikely.  He also gave me some Diazepam for the flight (stressing big time over flying already). God what with my coldsore tab's i'm gonna rattle down the aisle, lol x

(although secretly i was waiting for round 2!!!!)

 

Joking aside.... I really am happy for you chick xxx

[michelle2011]

Thanx Nicy - had a terrible night. In pain. Scarlett was in our bed coughing all night she's got another stinking cold, Dan was in her little bed. So bad night all round... roll on Mexico i need a bloody break! lol (sick to death of being ILL) Can't take much more!! x

[bride5656]

HELLO ladies!!!! ))

 

Haven't been on here for ages now, but really hope that everyone is doing well and planning is going good too! ))

Sooo much to catch up been reading all night last night lol

 

@Nicy your wedding letter box is fantastic girl, I love it!!! )) You should really team up with Michelle and make a living out of doing creative things like this!!! :Dx

 

@Michelle - I am sooo sorry that you feel so ill still...it really sucks I can relate cos we got some sort of flu now as well...soooo annoying!!!(( Really hope that you will feel better soon and that your back will heal now you are taking pills!xxx

 

@Charmaine - wow, i am sorry hun but when I was reading your first night with your FMIL, i felt sooo bad for you but couldn't stop laughing at the same time too lol What the hell is wrong with some ppl that they would say such a things!!! But i am also glad that she calmed down a little bit after spending some time with you and that her and your mum got along well too!!! that must of been a big weigh of your shoulders xxx This is something we need to do now too lol, arrange our parents to meet lol, just hope it will go as well as yours though!!!

I think that's the problem with most MIL's (including mine) is that they don't really try to get to know us DILs and make some crazy assumptions about us - which is sad but always pleasant when they come around and realise what they are missing out on! ))

 

@Mel - so glad you got your invites, post some pictures when you can, cant wait to see! ))x Just got letter from lady that makes our invites last night with last design approvals and they should be here in about 3weeks at most yay!!! By the way Mel where did you get your tags for fans from??? ) and i am also thinking on doing brochures for our guests do if anyone has any templates or ideas let me know )) 

 

Hope everyone will have a lovely day today! ) Not long until Friday yay!!!

Just a quick one!

 

Michelle - I am really really prone to urine/kidney infections and I never ever notice it until I get a sore back or in some worst scenarios, end up being sick!  I completely sympathise with you! What antibiotics did they put you on for it?  They tend to work pretty quick and make sure you drink heps and heaps of water to flush it out of your system.  Sometimes when I can feel it coming on, I can knock it out myself before it gets to bad by drinking gallons of cranberry juice.  You just have to make sure its not from concentrate otherwise its no good.  I hope you feel better real soon honey, and I promise once you've got the water works sorted, all the other bits will seem a lot less stressful! Be kind to yourself and try to get some rest   I hope you get a better nights rest with the kids tonight?  Poor little family at the moment!

 

I didnt manage to get the pics on as I went to the gym last night.  Weight loss is going OK at the moment - I'm down 7 kgs (1 stone) since Christmas.  I notice it in my clothes now but my mind tells me Im massive.  I just cant seem to shake it out of my head   I am working my butt of in the gym but Im so concious about how competetive my stepmum is me with weight loss that its starting to panic me.

 

Amurka - the lady I designed my invites with did the fan tags.  I had a look at them yesterday and I just love them!  I promise to try to put photos up as soon as I can so you can have a look - I hope they inspire you some.  I love the idea that maybe my ideas might get used as I have pinched ideas from ALL of you girls!

 

I was thinking of having pashminas as my favours for the girls.  I have a bit of a difficult colour - aubergine and I was wondering if any of you guys were thinking of using pashminas and where you got them from. 

 

Geesh!  Cant wait for 150 posts.  I desperately want to look at everyones templates for their brochures and it takes me forever to get my posts up!

 

Take care girls

Thanx Mel, he gave me a course of Ciprofloxacin for the water infection and Diclofenac Sodium for the pain relief. Dont feel to much better today but hopefully once in my system tomorrow will be a better day. Walking around like a zombie today as SOOOOO tired...

 

Good for you on the weight loss, well done, i haven't weighed myself for weeks. I feel the same so i'm not getting on the scales to depress myself. I am stressing though. 10wk's to go. Cant exercise and feel like a blob ( just to top my day off i've had a jam doughnut ( i'm not really helping myself am i.....

 

 

[bride5656]

Mel, - congrats on the weight loss!!! 7kg is good going since Christmas )) Just try not to get too stressed though about loosing weight, relax and try to enjoy yourself, after all at the end of it you will see you will feel like a princess on your big day!!! ))

 

Really can't wait for your pictures did you do your invites and tags in the UK or you got them done in US? ) I love the idea of having a little tags on my fans too, it will look sooo cute

Oh and I am also waiting for my 150 posts!!!!....it sucks when you see tones of brochure and other templates and you can't access any of them...:/
