    Yeah, not sure it's worth it, but will have a go while there are a couple of bits I need to buy for OH's birthday. If no good, I haven't lost anything...

    I've just cut my fringe - I think it looks quite charming and quirky, although some would say it looks like a child did it :D It was already there so I just lopped a couple of cm off the ends so I can see. All in the name of MSE!

    Mine needs cutting too, it's supposed to be a sweepy type one but it's sweeping a bit too much behing my ear at the min! I cut it a bit on Friday but not enough I was too scared. I like the sound of charming and quirky though!

    Oh, I got my tesco points through last night. £19.50. Added to my current stash if used for 4x deals we now have about £630 worth. Only £12 of this expires this year, but a lot more expires next year. Advice appreciated on what we should use them on!


    I have heard if you ring Tesco they will extend the expiry date. Aso they do Goldsmiths vouchers (If you get my drift)

    Doing double on wine at the moment, thats where mine will be going..

    TPA I love you.

    So, my Tesco vouchers are now also going to go into the secret non-wedding possible wedding fund pot. Will pay for the rings, or honeymoon or something.

    I have to say I am loving all this wedding talk! Me and OH have been engaged for about 2 years now, and have been together fot 5 on the 2nd June! I cant believe it!

    I always think about wedding ideas-its just soooooo expensive and as were clearing debts/saving for a deposit, i never know what to do! :confused:

    I have to say am tempted to fly away to Vegas and do it just the 2 of us!

    Dinah-I am very impressed with your secret stash!

    Birdie-If it helps...my OH's family are a nightmare. His brothers especially-so rude! So i know how you feel...

    Very slow day at work today-is it normal to want more work?
    Trying my hardest to change...

    No it isn't, we're all skivers here! Get yourself checked out, you must be feverish if you want more work! ;)
    It's nice to know there's another girl with my 'in laws' problems!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I know, i though it wasnt quite right! May have to phone the docs urgently and get an emergency appointment!!! :p

    Yeh, the In-laws are always fun. My OH does exactly the same thing and gets in a little strop if a mention it too! I let him leave the room-he soon has XBox withdrawal symptoms and comes running back (I would like to think it was to me-but im not that naive!)

    More packing to do tonight-we are moving on the 29th so am starting to get stressed! Plus as we would be allowed pets, I am trying to persuade OH that we NEED a puppy!
