    I assured my Mother in Law that I never stayed over, I just went round to cook her daughters breakfast very early each morning.

    The invitations are printed :T

    Phew :D Just making the evelopes up and then they can be sent :D

    Been having fun with pretend shopping for our gift list, have to keep reminding myself that there's no point asking for something that we won't use and that won't keep throughout the years.....I wonder if they do Asda vouchers though? :rotfl:

    Just opened up a Natwest ISA at 3.25% today, am planning to transfer my exisiting ISA (measley 1.2%) over to them to maximise my savings. :beer:

    Hope everyones got a good weekend planned, will finally tidy the house on Saturday and I'm off to the Malvern's on Sunday (wishing for dry weather) to spend more money and get a few more plants :rolleyes:

    Hello, hope everyone had a good weekend!

    Look away smf2.....

    the Malverns was great! There's about £70 worth of plants waiting to be planted, some brie and two bottles of cider to be consumed :beer: We were very lucky with the weather and met a nice man who gave us a free bottle of apple juice :D

    Not much else to report from this weekend except that the house and garden are tidy and the £2 can is filling up nicely

    Real cider; idyllic!
    £70 of plants.... I'm sure they'll turn in more pleasure than a meal of that price and over a longer period this year too!
