Our wedding is far from traditional and i have had trouble finding a colour scheme.my dress is gold and ivory and do not want that.i love bright and bold colours.so i have just ordered all my table wear,and gone for multi coloured forks,napkins and plates.can ppl please give me their honest opinions on my choice.and also we have ten lots of 3 balloons,1 of each is ivory and i can pick another 20 to add to of each with that.so with my wacky theme would you suggest having the balloons all the same or mixed? Thanks in advance

Hi im getting married in march and currently getting my accessories foR my outfit.my dress is ivory with a pale gold trim.i have been looking at tiaras and bridal jewellery sets and dont seem to like the gold coloured ones.

Would it look silly if i was to go with silver and diamonte jewellery and tiara.?thanks in advance x

I have just bought my partner a fruit machine for his birthday.we are wondering how much needs to be in the actual machine before it starts playing properly.obviously if its empty its going to take a hell of alot of time b4 you start winning.thanks

Hi i want to get my partner something unusual for his birthday! Theres nothing in particular he wants apart from a couple of limited edition zippo lighters which i have managed to get hold of!

Basically he loves fruit machines and everytime we go the pub hes on them,tends to come off better every time.

Right so i have managed to get hold of one of these,its used but in perfect working order so i just want to ask you fellas who are partial to a little flutter,what would you do if you woke up to a fruit machine for the home on your birthday.please be totally honest so i know whether to buy it or not.

Thanks x

P.s were getting married in 3months so its also a good way to save?

I bought a wedding dress online,it fits perfect everywhere except the bust which is so big it falls down.its a strapless dress with a zip which has detail either side.i was wondering if anybody could suggest the best way to have just the bust area altered and does anybody have price guidelines

Thanks in advance

Basically i have bought a wedding dress,its an aline strapless chapel train dress.i never looked at the length b4 i ordered it now not sure if it will be long enough for me,the dress measures 52 inches from top to hem,i am 5ft7? I cant work it out as dont have a measure.can anybody help.also if its an inch or 2 small could the length be made longer with a band of colour or something along the hem.

Any advice would be grateful.xx

My partner and i are getting married on a budget and want a SPONGE cake.the prices we have been quoted are disgusting

Basically i have come to the conclusion of trying my hand at making my own.we have 16wks so i could get a few trial runs in between.has anyone ever made their own,i know the ingredients would cost next to nothing thats why i refuse to pay £200 for a sponge cake.could anybody suggest any sites with simple step by step instructions.

I do know sponge cakes are hard to tier with them not having the weight to hold one another so if anyone can suggest an alternative.i would like something nice

My partner and i are getting married on a budget.therefore i have chose to buy a brand new dress off ebay.i am a size 16,and the same dress in that size or lower seems to sell for well outside my budget.however i have came across the same dress in a size 22 which as of now is really low in price compared to the smaller sizes. Basically i would like to ask if anybody does alterations,or had alterations done to their dress?

Basically the dress will need taking in a few sizes,then i would like the zip up back to be changed into a lace up back,also the dress will need taking up an inch or 2.

I am just asking if all this would be possible,it has quite a Large train.and if at all it is possible,how much should i expect to pay.im asking this b4 i consider buying as its if its going to cost a fortune for alterations i may as well spend the extra money on a dress to fit although i adore this dress.

Thanks x

Right my partner and i are getting married on a tight budget.therefore doing our own food.our wedding is 3.30pm,going straight to the reception afterwards for drinks,then the evening guests are coming at 7pm.my main concern is the food,basically both sides of the familys are helping.i am doing easy things in the morning,sandwichs,sausage rolls etc.my gran,mum and future mum in law are doing the cooked things,ie chicken,quiche etc etc.nobody drives so worried about how to get the food to the reception from ppls houses.they cant exactlly bring it to the registry office.and a bit stuck what to do

This only EVER happens once im in bed.my feet feel really really hot and i cant get to sleep untill i am so exhausted i drop off.this has been going on a few months now and its making me worn out as i have twoyoung babys to tend to.has anybody experienced this or does anybody know what it could be.thanks in advance

I am hopeless with meat and hes not a gr8 fan of vegetables.also not something really expensive.any ideas would be welcomed.he loves seafood,i dont but could do a seafood starter for him?xxx

Right,here goes.

My partner and i booked our wedding in march for next march.we split up for 3days in june and said forget the wedding! 2 wks ago he was talking about getting married,and i said we should have been getting married in 5 months,he said we still can.i rang up the wedding place today,just to see if they kept our booking as we still had some balance outstanding.i suggested to my partner offering the evening for my grandfathers 80th birthday which willbe 2 daysafter wewere due to get married.as we cant get refunded so may aswell give the night time away.my partner said this was a good idea.my gran has saidthey dont want a big party so its no good to them,and i havent had a response from my partner.im just a little confused as 2wks ago he was all up for getting married again,not saying it directly,just with him saying,we still can in 5months as its not cancelled.not really sure what he wants but dont want to ask as he may feel pressured into saying yes we wil do it if i ask.

Can somebody please do this calculation for me as my mum is getting her new floor and she seems to think she needs 20 square metres but i am not so sure.thanks in advance. Also if its 2.4 square metres a pack how many would she need.thankyou

He wil only eat,fruit and baby puddings. I have made my own meals which he will not entertain,nor will he entertain the savory babyfoods.he has been on solids almost 2 months,he will pull a face.start bawking,and spit it out.my eldest jermaine ate anything so never came across this problem.warren is almost 7months and seems to be tiny compared to what my eldest was at his age,warrens not sitting up or anything,hes like a little doll so getting concerned

I have mince,fresh onion,salt and pepper and mixed herbs.can i make burgers with these ingredients.if so please advise on preseration and cooking x

My partner has finally agreed to buying me a laptop

How do i get it connected to the internet,we dont have a landline nor want one.also my partner wont sign up to any monthly contract,is there anything like pay as you go or any kind ofdevice i can buy thanks in advance

And it won the jackpot.what would you do? I personally would split it

He is really wearing me down,he laughs if hes shouted at so i have resorted to smacking his legs,he also thinks this is hilarious. I am at the end of my tether with him,i also have a 6month old,my eldest is constantly hurting him,taking his dummys off him etc he is also destroying my house slowly,pouring things on the carpets,spitting everywhere,destroying anything thats not his! I just dont seem to be getting anywhere with him.and i feel like just giving him up because i am far from coping with his behaviour! (I would not give him up,but i feel like i could at this moment) any advice would be appreciated more than you know

This has been brought up in many books i have read and would be grateful if someone can tell me how to make it please.x
