Uni x - put him on a step for the photos if he's worried - goregous shoes - I am sure it doesnt matter if you are taller than him - just makes you more of a catch for him

Just can't get a job, especially one that fits in. It will get better.

I am not much help - I opt for study and self employment rather than a job to work in around the kids because mainly I couldn't find one to suit- but then again that's why I am in so much debt.

I am sure it will get better - anything of entrepreneural magnificance bubbling under your surface?

If you could do anythiing L what would it be?

I caved and got the chips. Yummy lunch. I really want my pudding now too but scared my workmates will think I am big greedy pig so cant

however, will be pleased to know I didnt buy organic matter yesterday at Homebase. £6 a bag!!! I did get 6 strawberry plants though as my seeds just havent come up. £4 for 6. I got home to plant them out and found a bag of farmyard manure in the shed which I must have bought last year so used that around the raspberry bushes and rhubarb. Hopefully will see a difference soon.

Walking dog at lunchtime I saw a dead horse. Never seen a dead horse before. Looked ok as in no guts or anything. Just lying there with a v bloodshot eye and tissue up its nostrils (not sure why). I dont get too upset at these things except thinking about how the owner feeling.

Lovely workmate just came back from lunch and handed me a packet of dill seeds saying she got them free but wont use them. How nice was that? Dont think I have ever used Dill in my life but will grow and find a use for it LOL

ps. dont worry about being taller than him. Didnt do Tom Cruise any harm having his women taller Dress sounds lovely. I would be worried about getting comfortable shoes though if the dress is v heavy as you will be knackered!!!

Bluis you sound like you have it sorted

My OH wants to just take care of the kids - but - has already said if it was up to him they wouldn't go to see their Dad. So I absolutely refuse to let him contribute directly monthly as a consequence.

Ohh the rows we have had - he respects my views but it drives him insane. Bless he's already got uni saving started for them both and pays for musical tuition, will contribute to trips, clothes etc if I ask him to and he does lots of indirect helping out - iyswim.

Its worse than being between a rock and a hard place.

I would never stop them going to see daddy - so I get no funds all round - hurrah for me!!

Mind you at the end of the day I will be able to beholden to no one I guess and don't have to compromise too much.

Thus ends my little soapbox.

My prob - is I refuse to rely on and trust no one else to provide where my kids are concerned.

It drives some of my other friends crazy. OH earns a great wage - etc but I am firmly stuck in my modest ways tis my job to provide.

So I should shut up and stop moaning......

Well it sounds beautiful. I dont know whether I would go for a plain satin if your dress is already heavily beaded?

Fay have you ever heard the saying "whoever pays the piper picks the tune"? At least you aren't beholden to anyone.

I had thought that myself and normally I wouldn't go so girly but don't know what's come over me. Also swore blind I wouldn't buy a wedding magazine. I bought one yesterday, nearly a fiver!!!!! I did have a giggle at some of the 'rustic' ideas and how much they cost and remember seeing similar ideas on this forum for pennies.

Undecided about the shoes now, beaded or plain?

When I got married I think I bought 2 magazines. I was absolutely gob smacked that people actually paid the kind of money they were talking about and that was in 1991! (boy was I young and stupid then!!Lol)

'No wedding is complete without.........'

This their favourite line!!

Yep job hunting. Still don't know what I want to do and I'm 36!!!!! Did have a great job until Feb last year. i was doing the baking and ready meals (proper stuff) in a farm shop but the owner decided to close it.

I am a partner in OHs business (part time) so I do stuff for that. Just want to earn enough to pay towards the debt and keep my horses.
