Can't wait for Monday to roll around 
What we're going to do is get a list of available dates from the venue, take them home and talk it over. And then once we've chosen one of the dates (as long as it's still available) then we'll go across and pay the deposit.
We were coming back from Cheshire on Monday and drove past the little lane that leads down to the venue, I'm a bit worried that we'll fit a bus down there, so we're thinking of downgrading to a mini bus or mini buses if needs be
Chris wouldn't turn around and drive me down the lane as by the time I realised it was on the turn off we'd gone right past it 
Ohhhhh and I've found these in Primark
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FESTIVAL-FLO...men_s_Accessories_UK&var=&hash=item870cb8d172
It's the white daisy chain crown, so I'm going to ask Nikki to collect me 5 of these when she goes into Primark at the beginning of July (just keeping everything crossed that they're still in stock). I think they're £4 or £5 each, so loads cheaper than buying the £18.95 sets off the internet
I'm thinking of asking my brother to do the photographs for us. He has a really good camera and I was thinking that would save such a huge chunk of the budget as he's quite artistic and if I show him some of the poses I definitely want then he would be helping us out majorly
I've also been thinking hen nights. What I want to do is have something where my younger / teenage bridesmaids can be involved, so I think I'm going to have a Glee Dance Hen Party thing for a couple of hours for the younger ones and then go out drinking with my cousins and older bridesmaids Chris says it's really sad 
But I'm not bothered as it'll be my day / night and I get to choose what I want

All of the girls on the hen party I went to recently were all over 18, but we had a greace dance lesson and we all absolutely loved it! It was such a laugh - most of our stories of the weekend come from that morning! I think the Glee lesson is a great idea

This is a link to a google map view of the venue you really get an idea of how long the lane is that leads up to it
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=u...KAw&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&ved=0CAQQtgM
I'm going to have to see if I can get a few piccies while we're there - hope the managers don't mind
And here's a link I found for the hen night

2 sleeps until we go and see the venue 
Have double checked it on google maps directions and it says it should take about 45 minutes to get there from our house, so we're going to aim to leave between 10 and quarter past
I hope they're not going to be funny with us if we don't put the £250 deposit down straight away
What we want to do is take a list of the available dates and then make the decision at home, plus we were planning on paying the deposit on Chris' next pay day as it makes money matters a whole lot easier

Omggggg I love this bridesmaid dress, and at £19.99 it looks like a real bargain
Really hope it's still available when it comes to buying bridesmaid dresses

Really keeping everything crossed that they're still around when the time comes to buying the bridesmaid's dresses But am still trying to find alternatives, just in case
I'm having a bit of a panic about what to wear on Monday Think it'll probably end up being smart grey 3/4 length trousers, flip flops and a smart top. Just really want to make a good first impression
