    Oh no though, just discovered it's not legal to get married outside in England, only in Scotland :( Much as I would LOVE to get married up there, I really can't see us shipping everyone up there...:rolleyes: I need a permanent gazebo structure to get married under; maybe OH could knock one up? :D

    Fantastic news jumping0045.gif


    Sorry been AWOL but had a lot on here .... I'm still reading though. Think the food budget is going to go way over from now on as I've started WW (again :rolleyes:) however I'm still cooking from scratch, it's just the ingredients cost a lot more. I have to put my health first and need to lose weight before I hit any major problems :o. I'm about 4st over what I should be so have a long journey ahead ..... going to need lots of support and encouragement (so that means no talking about rice pudding and bangers & mash ! hahah ..... joking xxxx) Made my mouth water earlier !

    I'm not hungry at all so that's a good sign and being on here and learning how to mealplan has helped me with my first week - I've batch cooked beef stew (4 portions) and pea, asparagus and turkey pasta (6 portions) - I reckon they'll all think I'm a bit mad at class, I think I'll keep that one quiet :rotfl:.

    Everything else is on target though so looking forward to the next quarter (just in case I don't get back on here before the end of the month :rolleyes:).

    Take care all .... hugs for those that need them and hope you feel better soon lingo xxx 015_JQ4GI2.gif

    Congratulations Bails

    I am another on the list who rarely posts, but I read every day. I am a fledgling compared to you all in the MSE stakes, but although I have failed (quite spectacularly) the £4000 challenge, I havent added to my debts, which are motoring downwards quite nicely. So I am really pleased. I am carrying on, and hopefully once the Christmas expenses are out of the way, I will be back to the grindstone soon!

    Fabulous news, Bails! (Pass the tissues).
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Congratulation Bails, Nyk's post definitely brought a tear to my eye (well, more than one actually :) ) Off to get some tissue. Can't wait for frugal wedding planning posts....How about you get married in Scotland then, been to a few amazing outside weddings in stunning scenery up here :).
