    Besides, to me the biggest adventure of all will be my own family. And I wouldn't want to have children in rented as its too unstable.

    Same here. OH and i have always agreed we want children, but i would definatly want to be living in my own home when we do - not that thats going to be for a few years yet!!
    When i was young i lost count of times that i moved - i'd say at least 15 times due to living in rented accomodation until i was 13.

    Oooh, well done on the new shiny star Tete!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I can start commenting on people's SOAs and they'll think I'm a proper old hand and very knowledgeable, when really I've just been nattering on for the last how-many-months(?) on Dinah's threads! :D

    Poolie - How pretty is your Wife?! Your honeymoon looked lovely too!

    Yay to your new star Tete!

    All your wedding plans make mine seem really... old school! I want to get married where my parent's did, in a 1950's style dress, family catered buffet afterwards with a honeymoon in England. Not that I'm engaged or anything. :rolleyes: *ahem*

    Sorry did I miss something, are you engaged Cinny?!

    I think where my parents had their reception has been demolished! I want a light lacey dress, which is fairly vintage, but I don't want to put pressure on my family to cater since we have nowhere we could have people round to actually eat it and I know mum is finding the concept of the engagement bbq hard enough to stomach! I know its not 'cool' to admit it, but I still enjoy travelling too much to settle down on an English honeymoon. I figure when we have little ones we won't want to take them hot places or on planes, so we'll see all of England we haven't already seen then.

    Got home, mum is not remotely pouty. Acting like the whole thing hasn't happened in fact.

    If anyone is going to explode, do it on the old thread, that one is already a mess!
