    I just think May and June are nice months as the weather tends to be nice but not too hot. Although I would be open for suggestion. Our anniversary is November, is easy to remember as is one of OH's sisters birthdays.

    Wendz, if your anniversary is in November, and you like the idea of a castle, then you could have like a wintery wedding! I've always liked the idea of those. With reds and golds, and a big open fire, wooden benches, roast dinner, etc! :D

    Crisp winters day is a nice wedding, cold damp and half the guests don't make it because of the blizzard outside is not so nice!

    Our first kiss was in a shopping mall car park in his brothers filthy car! He'd just picked me up from the airport and had to return some shoes for his mum on our way home - we were both so on edge in case the first kiss was a disaster considering we'd fallen very heavily by this point!

    Our first kiss was in OH's mums house (when he lived there) , He did manage to ruin the moment a bit by announcing 'this reminds me of my prom night' lol!!

    Common-sense went out the window and I felt like a right idiot cuz he had coke and I had barcardi breezer! :rolleyes:

    That sounds like something I'd do! Me and OH have never had dates, we were in a massive group of friends so the best we could get was lagging behind and having a cheeky kiss! Although I do remember the first time he went in for a smooch and I ran off. Smooth! :cool:

    Loving the first kiss stories! :p

    Well I am off for a few days, so I will more than likely be back on Sunday. Have a good rest of the week!

    Are you off to your Nans? Have fun!

    And just remember everytime you're eyeing up some chocolate or a dress you have us lot to report back too. (Unless it's a really pretty dress or seriously lovely chocolate, then you can be excused! :D )

    I had a really nice weekend at my Nan's, apart from a day where I was really emotional! My Mum and Nan keep asking what's wrong with me at the moment cuz I don't 'seem myself'. There's nothing wrong, but I am really tired and fed up with trying to juggle everything.

    I'm worried that I won't have enough time to work on my uni stuff - improving my placement folder, working on my subject knowledge and just generally preparing myself for September.

    I really wanna pay off my overdraft by September but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. The current total is £878 :( This is cuz of putting in £30 petrol, my hoover and stuff, and some general bits and bobs. My Lloyds account is also £20 overdrawn.

    I need to cancel my Tesco credit card, cuz I now have a Halifax one and I don't need 2.

    I've known a girl since we were born cuz we lived opposite each other. She recently had a baby and has just told me that she is moving into a new build 2 bedroom flat in the Portishead Port Marine area. I'm so gutted and annoyed that me and my OH are trying to save and she gets a place, just like that. :(

    I'm sick of flat-sharing.
    I'm sick of this heat.

    I sound so miserable! :o

    I actually laughed at the thought of her saving! I've known her 20 years, she hasn't held down a job for more than a few months, and spends all her money on going out, and new clothes. She definately hasn't been saving.. :rolleyes:

    Ah well. My house time will come, eventually.
