    Well as it says it's nearly 17 weeks till our wedding
    But in that time there is so much going on, in these weeks I have to... Do a 12,000 dissertation, 3,000 essay, 4,000 report a presentation and exam. Then there is all the wedding bits...hen night, get in contact with all the suppliers, get final numbers, pay of balances, order last bits and bobs (hair bits for the BM and myself) and just all the normal lat min organisation. So safe to say I have hit a bit of a panic mode with everything. Then everyday life things going to see family (as I drive I always have to go see them) got 3 party's coming up (birthday, engagement and a 50th as well as our hen and stag)

    What have you had to work round when it has come to planning your wedding as I know to some people what I have to do is not much to what other people have to deal with.

    Oooh alsorts!! I am in the process of organising a charity ball for 200 people which i do on an annual basis - takes up such a lot of time, trying to raise sponsorship, organising entertainment, chasing money, organising table plans etc etc (all good practice for wedding planning tho ha), H2B lost his job so he's in the process of setting up his own business which Im trying to help with as much as possible, my son has a few behavioural problems so I am having meetings with youth services and school regarding that, we are in the process of redecorating the kitchen, hall and kids bedrooms which is becoming a much slower project than anticipated!!! Then there's the general everyday stuff we all do - work, visiting mum, trying to keep house etc). :-) xx

    God that's so much going on. I'm lucky in that I do have people that will help me along the way just that I like to try and do things myself before I ask for help (prob a week spot for me that's why I can get a bit on edge). I do look up to people that manage to organise many things at 1ce, I did think that I was a organised person but writing everything down that needs doing in the next months has give me a bit on anxiety. Think one thing I'll have to make time for is me time/girly nights lol.

    I'm very similar to you LeahAmy! I'm in my last year at uni so I have a dissertation to write, 2 reports, an essay, a presentation, a practical assessment and 3 exams! During all of this I am recovering from an operation that I had 7 weeks ago and I'm still not allowed to return to uni yet, we will also be moving house 3 weeks before the wedding! Then I have a family wedding to attend as well as a couple of birthdays and 2 hen nights for me! Also will have my graduation (hopefully!) 4 weeks before the wedding and I am planning for a wedding 3 hours away from where I am currently living for uni! Feels like an awful lot of pressure but I'm sure I will be able to do it, even if I do lose my mind in the process! Lol xxx

    Well I was getting my head down had a plan on how I would do things Monday,Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, Sunday uni work then Wednesday shopping seeing family and sorting out any wedding emails ect leaving Saturday for a day out/day in with mat. Did a plan of how many words I need to do each week for my dissertation and was ready to go.... But my laptop has had other ideas!! The hard drive has gone and I have lost everything!!
    I would be ok if it's just a few things I have lots but it's not. All my wedding spreadsheets that I have made and been working off, guest lists, budget list, and then 2 months worth of youth crime research that I have been doing and a the bit that I started writing up. It's a good thing I put all my photos on the book of face or I would of been even more upset.

    Leah you must be so stressed, but have you tried taking it to a computer expert? Did you have a backup programme in place like n0r&0n or g00g&e. X

    We do but last time it was backed up was November time and not everything backed up (well nothing from my user only mats). Mats been talking to someone at work and he has told him how to try get files off it and has lent him somthing that takes the data off a laptop without even loggin onto the laptop (when you put the laptop on the screen is just blue) so he trying that tonight, he seems rather sure it will work so fingers crossed. Dell are coming tomorrow to sort it but they said we can not keep the old harddrive so got a bit annoyed as I need my laptop back and working but if we had our hadrvie could of sorted it without rushing round tonight :-/. So safe to say when it's fixed we will be setting the back up program to back things up every week!! It was only set up to do it manually (and I'm not very tec like so never did it) xx

    Leah I hope you get the laptop sorted. Mine did this to me the day my dissertation of due to be handed in! Luckily I had printed it and put it on my memory stick just before it broke. I really do feel for you Hun.

    As for everything wedding just take it one task at a time. Hopefully you'll recover everything from the laptop so you can contact them all and do everything you need to. If not can you log on to your email from another computer so you can ateast contact them where necessary

    It worked I have all my wedding things back and uni work so I can go back to having a plan of what days I do what uni work and do wedding things. The dell man is coming later to put in the new part so can go back to been a geek . We was up all night got about two hours sleep as mat finishes work 11 so when he come in that's when we started taking the laptop apart and waiting for programs to scan ect but it was worth it.

    When I was writing my masters dissertation I had it on the college computer, my lap-top, and at least two floppy disks (believe it or not they were still around in 2006). I was so paranoid about losing it. I'm working full-time, but spare time is spent practicing the flute, promoting myself locally as far as possible, and sorting out the clutter in my room ready to move to H2B's. I won't actually move in officially until the wedding, but I'll gradually start moving stuff over. There's also the chance that I might have to move twice, as my landlady's ex is forcing a sale. There's nothing she can do about it, and I knew there was a chance that this would happen. As it happens at the moment there isn't much interest, so we may yet still be there come August. I don't want to move to H2B's early, as it won't feel right, so I'm prepared that I may end up living out of boxes for a couple of months.

    That's one thing I'll be doing from now on save on every sort of device/back up that we have, it could of been a lot worse.
