So is the MSF now MSW? Congratulations!

To be fair, based on the 5 day forecast for last week for where I live, the theory you suggest for email sign ups was way more accurate....

Being able to predict the weather is all very well, but if you could just tell us the secret of how to get nice weather for your wedding day and the day after, there's a fair few of us would pay good money for that information

So, blog on weather, and just married... er... OK, I think I see!

Seriously, Martin, congratulations to you and Mrs MSE!


Aiming to be mortgage free as soon as I can by offsetting, stoozing and anything else I can do that is legal.

Congratulations Martin.

Did you really wait until you were married to start taking an interest in your wife's work?

Of course he couldn't call Lara the MSW - too many people on here could confuse her with Mrs MbW

Seriously, tho, congrats, Martin! Bet you two went somewhere nice (and good value) for your honeymoon.
