pretty that dress is stunning, you will look gorgeous in it!

I've been good apart from one little cake with butter icing. And took the boys swimming as well. Have done my knee in, so am sitting with the support bandage on debating whether to use the stepper tonight or not. will give it an hour and then decide.

good luck everyone weighing in tomorrow!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/02/2011 19:29

Totally lovely Pretty - you will look divine.

bebejones · 24/02/2011 20:03

LOVE the dress pretty! You will look fab! :)

Want to make Elmers!

Have found a pair of cream fabric kitten heel shoes that I had forgotten about (from when I was a bridesmaid at SIL's wedding) which are also an option - espeically if I go for pearl accessories.

Alternatively if I go with the black pearl choker (bit like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.maskheaven.co.uk/data/masks/591x427/blackbeadedchoker40323.jpg&imgrefurl=www.maskheaven.co.uk/Ladies-Masks-%25C3%2582%25C2%25A310-to-%25C3%2582%25C2%25A315-masks/Black-Beaded-Triple-Drop-Choker_500189.htm&usg=__qC30IABYEFCIZ4u2jYyuPu7-NWw=&h=427&w=591&sz=44&hl=en&start=759&sig2=zqDq9kl2rCd50FgnIZWKGg&zoom=1&tbnid=l5Et4bJsiceA2M:&tbnh=145&tbnw=202&ei=h65mTZq3GqKJ4gbjvYmlCQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblack%2Bpearl%2Bchoker%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1503%26bih%3D635%26tbs%3Disch:11%2C16928&chk=sbg&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=137&vpy=349&dur=3841&hovh=191&hovw=264&tx=120&ty=172&oei=O61mTfiJHYO0hAf73dC6DQ&page=34&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:759&biw=1503&bih=635" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this but with more rows of (fake Wink) pearls around the neck) then I would wear the black shoes.

Dh thinks I'll need to leave the decision until I've had my hair put up - although has suggested I get SIL over tomorrow to get a girlie opinion. :)

Pretty could you dye the cream kitten heels to match the dress? Just a thought! :) All sounds so exciting, haven't been to a ball in ages! :(

prettybird · 24/02/2011 20:36

What a good idea - I'll look into it :) I'm not going to wear the shoes otherwise (cream fabric is not exactly practical Wink) - red would probably more practical in the long run.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 25/02/2011 08:00

One pound on here. Not surprised as we went out to eat last night and I have just got my period. Hopefully it will be an easy one to shift! I will update the list when on my pooter.

Good luck all.

bebejones · 25/02/2011 09:02

2lbs on here! :( Not surprised, plus AF just showed up so like piste I'm hoping it'll shift easily!

Will update later, too much to do & need to get off MN!

GettinTrimmer · 25/02/2011 10:05

Hi all

I am not weighing in till next friday, it's having the effect on me of not being a friday/saturday/sunday piggie, but if I did weigh I'm sure it would be something on. Half term is tricky for me.

Piste that 1lb will go quickly.

Bebe same for you, it will go. How are your Elmers going? We have a row of 7 milk bottles ready!

Pretty you will look fab. I like the idea of red & cream/pearls.

laughalot · 25/02/2011 12:39

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/02/2011 12:58

RatherBeOnThePiste · 25/02/2011 12:58

Aw. I feel I have to ask now!. How ?!

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/02/2011 12:59

friend dislocated her jaw when giving her then bf a bj Shock

RatherBeOnThePiste · 25/02/2011 13:03

Ouch Mrs B! But it's Laughalot's DH here so I am hoping there's a different explanation. Lol.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/02/2011 13:04

one would hope so Grin

laughalot · 25/02/2011 13:05

Grin well everyone assumes he has being doing something naughty with me Grin Grin but all it was he was eating a lovely fillet steak I made it it just happened. He has always had a funny jaw and he grinds his teeth terrible when he is asleep and apparently that dosent help. He has done nothing but moan its driven me mad.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/02/2011 13:08

so he dislocated his jaw on your cooking

pmsl

RatherBeOnThePiste · 25/02/2011 13:08

Poor you Laughalot. Moaning men really are tedious.
Obviously we never moan so they could never say the same about us.

laughalot · 25/02/2011 13:15

yep lol what a waste of fillet steak Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 25/02/2011 13:31

If he can't be bothered to chew your lovingly home cooked meals properly then I don't think I'd bother again Laughalot Grin

Shock how did they undislocate his jaw Laughalot?

I dislocated my elbow once, and they popped it back in.

blimey your poor friend blondes. the hospital ask how you had the accident, I was embarrassed enough when I was 22 and broke my wrist when I fell over drunk!

Yes pretty I was thinking red and cream would be perfect.

I am trying my best today, no weekend pigging out, would love to lost 1lb by Friday.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/02/2011 13:56
