    Sounds great Fay :):):) I always wanted to get married in wellies :) How fab :):)

    Money situation is looking good! :) Edna is nearly well and truly squashed! I say cut up the credit card and stick the PAD you've been chucking at Edna into savings account instead for emergencies :)

    As for accommodation - what about a hostel?? I used to work for the YHA, and some of them rent out entire buildings as self catering... some of them are quite big! And this far in advance, and in October, you'd probably be alright booking them.. Not too expensive either. Might end up with a few relatives in bunk beds :) But there's usually a couple of single rooms at least, and if they don't like it they can book into a hotel! :)

    i don't know what to do they don't do wellies that fit around my fat calves (and i'm not joking!) and fingers crossed i may be avec bump by then. sob!
  • Oh Fay - congratulations on the date thing! Marvellous news, in fact, so good it comes close to overshadowing the fact that you have only a teeny tiny £80 still to pay off Evil edna! :D

    You can get wellies with roses on them if I remember correctly - might be good for a wedding?! Some gorgeous ones on THIS SITE :D
