its nearly 9 days to go. eeek. I'm sitting here posting this because i cant seem to sleep. there's too much stuff rolling around in my head....kinda like a tornado threatening to swallow me up and spit me back out again a million miles away from were i want to be. i should be in bed because i know I'm not going to get up on time in the morning , to get up at 7:00 i have to go to bed at 11:00.....cant help it if i need my sleep a little to much :) and i know it sounds silly but i really really really don't want to have another of the nightmares that Ive been having lately. give you two guesses what they are about? lol

How many people do you think that i could cram into my 2 bedroom flat? go on have a guess, you'll be supprised at the answer......... in the photo there are 8 people but you cant see the other side of the room.....theres another 6 people there. plus luke and zac were in bed and there were two more people at the front door. and would you belive that they are all my close family?! oh and there was me too lol that takes the head count to 18 people....oh and they are all women apart from luke and zac :) and it just so happens that the gas man came to do an inspection on that day(there was a gas leak down the road), he walked in and said "omg" and walked right back out the door lmao....mind you that might of been due to the fact that someone feed my nan a little to much wine and she said "off off off"...and then upon seeing his face she said "oh thats not the stripper then?" not to mention the fact that my mum was sitting on the floor with a green shinny face pack on and her hair was in bunches (god it was a very fightening sight lol) Is'nt life brill :)......!

Luke had his school dance at the summer fair yesterday and he looked like he really enjoyed it :) if you can spot him he has a red T- shirt on in the pics.
he played at being a morris dancer...lol it was so funny because he had the biggest grin on his face the whole time he was dancing around :) ad he won an award for the best dancer... im gonna re-name him to billy , as in billy ellliot lol. poor boy is quite sad now because now that they have performed at the summer fair his dance classes are over , when he first said that he wanted to go to the dance classes i thought he would hate it esp when he figured out that there was only 3 boys out of 36 kids but he supprised me and he loved every moment of it :)

Ok i know the photos are a little dark , but all in all im happy because I finally found someone to do my hair and makeup for the wedding :) , is costing me £75.00 though. but at least its sorted out! fingers crossed that we dont have anymore mishaps between now and the 6th july. I cant belive how different that i look! oh and excuse the old t-shirt , i resisted the tempation to put on my dress and parade around the bedroom admiring it lol. It's at times like this that the nerves actually disappear for a while and i look forward to getting married :)

mike went out for his stag night tonight.....and came back with a Nokia N95 phone for me , work that one out lol , (my first though was that he got pissed and nicked it lol) but he brought it in the o2 shop at blue water shopping center......how he ended up there i can only guess it was something to do with Dawson his best man.....hmmm I'll interrogate him in the morning :)

ok ive got it sorted....at last. my sister vicky has found someone that can do the date i need and shes coming round for a trial run as well on wednesday :)

Remember when i said watch this space?....well it happened. everything went wrong again lol. the problem this time is that the lady who was doing my hair for the wedding has pulled out , so now im completly stuffed. its too late to find someone now because its so close to the actual date , im problerbly going to end up just walking into a hairdressers and paying them to do something with it because i cant afford to pay for a trial run first , most of them charge upwards of £60.00
right im off to phone everyone i know and to see if they know anyone who could do it on the cheep. But at least ive finished the tiaras now :) check back soon lol

Today I'm actually happy , whooo hooo , i don't know why but I'm feeling quite good.....watch this space cos somethings bound to happen between now and the next time i post lol. the work shops i did yesterday went well and i got paid 50 quid for two hours work...see why I'm happy?! and I'm being reimbursed for materials used , which is about 30 quid. Hopefully they will pay me before the wedding so that i can use that money towards getting the food for the reception. the only problem i had yesterday was the fact that i had to teach 21 socal workers how to make jewellery lol god with them all sitting round that huge table waiting for me to speak was kind of horrible LOL but hey ho i braved it out and now i hav'nt got to go back again :) oooh and i got a free lunch!

Another of Luke's teeth fell out yesterday , so i decided to make him a letter saying thank you from the tooth fairy...me thinks i should go into business with invitations and letters, because if anyone in my family are having a party etc they all come round and say....Cerrie you know you love me.... and i think oh no here we go again. it was only today that i had to make my little brother some invites for his paintball party on July 1st. and last week i had to make my cousin Sam's invites for her 18th birthday party , and before that it was my sister Stacey's birthday invites and then before that i made all the wedding invitations....the list goes on!

Mmmmm , I'm sitting here pondering what to write about. and I'm not coming up with anything.
apart from the update for the wedding jewellery:
made the 9ct gold earrings and matching necklace , plus a pair of 9ct gold crystal studs in the same red colour crystal. and made two sets of sterling silver necklaces and earrings in the same style as the gold set. Oh and Ive also made a Jet & Siam swarovski crystal 3 row cuff bracelet for my sister Vicky at her request.... still gotta make her necklace and earrings though , and still got to make my set yet but i have the supplies to do that tomorrow. what else? oh and Ive finished making the ribbon corsages for Vicky's kids and their hair barrettes. i don't think that there is anything else to update on but i will probably post pictures of completed jewellery in the morning when its all (apart from the tiaras) finished. Oh and i showed my mum the shoes that i brought....i don't think that she was too impressed because as soon as i showed them to her she looked at me and said "wear them on the day then if the other ones are really bothering you that much" and she didn't sound like she meant what she was saying. oh yes and.....drum roll please.....Mike's mum sent back her R.S.V.P card. Yeah i know shocking huh!
Ops for someone who couldn't think of anything to say....It turned into a long post! hehehe

eeeeek its one month today , god im scared lol its not marring Mike thats the problem, it's walking up the isle in front of 30 people that scares me. shudder. and no amount of "it'll be ok on the day" is going to calm my fears of totally making a pratt of myself lol. Mike's bestman Dawson offered to fall over for me just as i come in the doors so that everyone looks at him and then i can quickly run down the isle to excape all those ooooohh's and awwww's ...im actually quite tempted to say yes to him. mind you at least no ones going to burst out laughing at my name like they did at my sisters wedding last year , it came to the bit were the registrar said "Darren Andrew John Churcher do you take ......Vicky Day.... (said really quickly) to be your wedded wife" and that was it everyone was on the floor with laughter because he said her name so quickly and it sounded soooo common lol. at least Mike's name is only Michael Hedger with nothing inbetween so mine wont sound so bad pmsl , ok this may make me sound bad but if anyone even thinks of crying i'll kick them in the shin as i walk past......or run past if dawson has his way :) i dont think that on top of everything else id be able to cope with someone crying because that will set me off and i'll end up looking like a panda because my make-up ran.
Oh the joy's of Pre-wedding Stress

I worked up the guts to get mike to phone his mum the other day , and guess what her excuse was for not replying to the wedding invitation?.....it was that she'd put it away in a safe place and that she had "totally forgotten were it was" i suppose its understandable though because i do it all the time!
I feel like crap today :( got a major headache......would'nt it be nice if just for one day i was totally and without a dout completley happy? hehehe
Oh heres something that made me chuckle yesterday , Luke was telling jokes to Zac and he said "what do you call a row of cabbages?" to that Zac said "a row of cabbages?" then luke burst out laughing and said "no zac your ment to say i dont know, because then i can tell you its called a duel cabbage way" to which Zac replied "whats a duel cabbage way?" I think that was problerbly wasted on zac lol bless him. I tried my hardest to stop laughing and explain the concept of a joke but you know what, i dont think it worked!

omg im such a wally.... i went out to get the 3 boys shirts today , got there and thought fantastic they have all the sizes that i need...then got to the till and the lady says to me if you buy 3 or more blouses you get 5% off. spot the mistake yet?....i dont think that the boys would be happy with girls blouses lol but it wasnt all my fault cos the first one was a shirt and i did no more than look through the rest on the rack and picked out sizes lol

Got the balloons :) they were £3.35 for 10. But technically they were a tenner because its going to cost me over a fiver to get them filled with helium.

thinking ahead here....im still having problems with my shoes .....so ive gone and brought a new pair :) im hoping that i can convince my mum that these ones are better (taking into concideration that its going to be really hot on the day) and hoping that i wont of hurt her feelings by getting another pair. these ones only have a 2 inch heel , the other ones have a 3 inch heel so these wont hurt as much lol not to mention be a lot cooler.
