Votes in, numbers counted, decision made. Any late comers will have to go with the judges final decision. On no account will allowances be made. The date for the Hen Do Of The Year is now officially the first weekend in July. Thank God for that.
All that remains is to decide where it's going to take place...and here we go again. That didn't last long did it. Now the emails are going to start all over again and there's bound to be those who don't fancy the ideas I come up with. Too expensive, too difficult to get to, don't like heights, don't like water, don't work with children and animals.......I can feel my nerves beginning to unravel all over again! So I think now is the time to pass the responsibility to the bridesmaids and let them deal with it. After all isn't that how it's traditionally done and I'm all for tradition. I'll be happy with anywhere except Blackpool, Bangor or Barmouth (apologies to anyone from these places, no offence meant). I'm also gonna have to insist on nothing less than 3* and there must be at least one proper bottle of champagne (Sainsbury's own will do after a few!). Strippers are a no no, the very thought makes me cringe, all baby oil, G strings and a face only a mother could love, and I will absolutely not, on any account, go out with a dildo and L Plates tied around my neck. A woman has to maintain a modicum of dignity!

In Which DB Stresses About her Hen Do, Don't, Do, Don't...
How, pray tell, do you arrange a get together with a large group of really special friends and find a date that everyone can make? If anyone has the answer to this PLEASE let me know!!
For the last few weeks I have been going round and round and left and right and side to side trying to find a weekend that everyone (or at least the majority) can make and so far I keep hitting that proverbial brick wall. AAAARRRRHHH!!! I'm seriously considering having a Hen Don't. Is it really worth all this hassle just so I can go out dressed in some hideously embarrassing outfit, to end up in some cringeworthy situations and drink more than the entire guests at my wedding...well...yes it really is.
It's an age old tradition and a great excuse to get together with all your favourite girlies and have them all to yourself for one night. How often do you get the chance to have all these fantastic people together when even though you try you never do get off your arse and arrange these monthly get togethers you've been promising. Come on, admit it, we all do it.
Of course, the problem is you never can get all these people together, in the same place, on the same night and now I'm left with the dilema of finding a date for the majority to the sacrifice of
the few. But I want them all!!!! So I pleading with you all, any solutions to this hair pulling dilema and this DB will be indebted to you forever...answers on a postcard.

In Which DB Finds the Answer to Our Hair Prayers…and There Is No L’Oreal In Sight!
Sorry… I just want to say this first and foremost to all the loyal and patient followers that have been encouraging and following me along the way. In all honestly, when written, it seems a feeble and disappointingly ineffective word, especially when typed through the keys of a basic and middle aged keyboard! However, I feel that it is the most direct and honest word I can use to all of you who have supported me with this blog and have been left waiting for updates only to be met with, well…nothing.
What can I say? I can offer a number of reasons… I have been busy, preoccupied, tired, working blah, blah, blah…but enough of the excuses, there are always enough hours in the day if you are dedicated enough. So here I am, blogging all of you that care at 1.30 in the morning and as if that isn’t enough, to show you that I really do appreciate your support, I am about just about to let you in on one of the world’s best kept secrets…Morrocanoil!
Ladies, repeat this word over and over and then over again, as, no matter how many times Cheryl Cole, with her flawless luscious, unachievable, thick and flowing locks, tells you she’s found the answer to your hair prayers, L’Oreal has now been left looking like the new kid in the playground compared to this bad boy.
Gone is my frazzled and over bleached straw like barnet, only to be replaced by enviable silken tresses after only one application (max 5ml) of this wonder oil. I am a convert! Cheap, frizz free serum promising me salon beautiful hair…discarded with one swift and quick sweep of the hand across my once cluttered dressing table crammed with products I rarely used and that never delivered. If I didn’t know and trust my hairdresser to the extent that I do I would have mistaken her faith in this product as nothing more than a ploy to get me to part with my hard earned and ever dwindling cash. At £30 a bottle this is by no means a cheap fix but well worth every penny, and the fact that a little goes a long way means that it should last for a long time meaning that it is actually fantastic value for money.
So there, I hope this invaluable and no longer well kept secret goes a little way to mending bridges and I promise to dust off my laptop and tap away at those keys on a much more regular basis!
Now to the most important part of my blog…wedding plans! As ever, I am as ever more than a little disorganised and have still not got round to informing my local parish of a certain fast approaching nuptials so that they can read our banns. A slightly important part of the whole process I think you’ll agree and I now have given myself a major talking to. By this time Monday it will all have been sorted and the Significant Other and I will be planning our first Sunday service trip to St Mary Magdalene church.
On a more positive note, my dress is coming along beautifully and I have now had a fitting in the actual fabric. It is going to look fantastic even if I do say so myself! I almost can’t wait the four months until I get to wear it, but then patience has never been one of my better qualities!
I have also now ordered my Save the Date cards and eagerly await their arrival. They are beautiful and summery and Vicky has done a tremendous job. I just hope that I have ordered these in time and that people haven’t already booked their holidays away. July is a popular time of year. It may end up being a very small and quaint affair after all, but then every cloud…it won’t cost nearly as much!!!
