Hiya - I haven't read all the posts, but wanted to wish you luck with planning your wedding xxxx

Your venue sounds like a good deal Dinah. It will be exciting when the deposit is all down.

The pans sound like a good bargain, is definitely worth getting things as they are on offer rather than saving it all up.

Wow - weddings are expensive in the UK!

Our meal was about £35 pp in Barcelona - with a variety of tapas for starters, seabass, steak or paella for the main course and then creme catalana for dessert. This included unlimited cava and wine for the guests. There was also an amazing view over Barcelona marina, which made it priceless (that and the 32C heat!!!)

Morning all! Wrote a bit of a waffly reply last night to do with sewing but had an attack of the sausage fingers and deleted it. Suffice to say Lara that I'm pleased I'm making a skirt from three pieces of fabric, when I watch Dinah cutting aout about 15 bits of pattern, trying do discern exactly WHICH bits they are! I actually dreamt about sewing last night.

£108 IS a lot! I think £55 is a lot but I guess it's the market isn't it? Pans look grand - I thought the other ones were heart-shaped at first but I think they just have a lip on either side!

Money question time: I've signed up to Bingoport and posted 1000 points' worth of waffle on the boards ... now what??

And does anyone know how to post pictures onto Ciao reviews? I think you get more experience points for it, but do you have to 'go green' before you can do it in the first place?

Aye they are expensive, and if we wanted a smaller do I'd have loved to go to abroad, but we'd miss out on so many of our friends and family being there as it would be too much of a strain for them to afford it, so we'd rather have it here and have an amazing, but very big day.

Just got my payslip, got backdated pay of £85 ish, which is good as I have £920 in the ISA so between the two thats my deposit for the wedding covered.

My dress will be a masterpiece Tete, now to find a ball to go to in order to wear it!

Yep yep, very expensive! But actually, Lara, I don't think £100 is too horrific as your venue hire will be less (?) so it probably averages out a bit cheaper... maybe That's exciting about looking at a proper house - just for you and your fiance? How's the studying going by the way?

Dinah, yay that you're going to look around the house! I think it can only a positive thing x

ETA: Fab that you've got the wedding deposit sorted! And sounds like you're some sort of sewing demon - 15 pieces!

Ah, all dressed up and nowhere to go! Good news on the £85 - see paying for a wedding is easy!

Dinah93

Yes, now I only need to get a £5700 pay backdate in my July wages and it'll be covered!
