    ETA: More details about the proposal, please!

    I second this! :D Congratulatons Pilchard - we all knew he had something up his sleeve!!

    Welcome back Birdie, really glad you loved the place! Hooray to budget dresses and I love the sound of the blue beads!

    Just back from Bath a few hours ago, been a long day but am settled in bed catching up - am up to 7500 on BP now so hopefully a payout tomorrow? Thanks girls for all your rates taking me over the £72 mark - if I can get another £3 and a BP payout this week I'll be able to order my Wainwright books :D

    Brain feels like a pancake so can't respond to much else. Dinah well done on the babysitting, you sound like you're on a moneysaving roll again like in the old days of Diary 1!

    Have a day off work tomorrow, hoping to get on with the decluttering - but for now - Goodnight!

    Congratulations Pilchard from a newbie, also recently engaged! And I third the more details please! :T

    Babysitting is on my list when I get back Dinah; congrats on your first job! What's the going rate these days? Hmm, I may need to LEARN how to change a nappy :o I'm even missing out on [STRIKE]messing it up[/STRIKE] practising on my first nephew :(

    Did you have fun in Bath Tete, what ya get up to? Don't make me too homesick though :p

    What exactly is a 'saved couple' Dinah?

    Just doing my scratchcards - can't withdraw from one of them so trying to find out why. Reminds me - PSS is a game in the arcade section on Minver where you play paper, scissor, stone against the computer - you can usually work out the pattern and make a little extra, just know when to stop!

    What exactly is a 'saved couple' Dinah?

    We're charging £6 per hour plus petrol as this job is far away from home, but I bet it varies depending on area. Thats for 4 kids but 2 will be in bed before we get there, and one of the remaining ones is 13.

    'Saved' ie if we were saved when we die we'd go to heaven. As we're not 'saved' they consider us to be going to hell. Its a really fundamentalist church and I'm not very happy with them saying our wedding isn't something to celebrate.

    I'm not $%"* surprised! :mad: How do you become 'saved' in their eyes?

    I had one of my scratchies closed today for 'bonus abuse' so be careful!

    Just off to my first Tibetan lesson! :j

    Eeek what did you do to make it bonus abuse?!

    We become saved by Kieran moving out and stopping physical contact before the wedding..... I can handle the physical contact but not the moving out.

    Have emailed the Revd at the church we would want in the next village over. According to the CofE website we can marry there as I lived in the parish for over 6 months, but on their own we can't as neither of us currently live in the parish, so we'll have to see.

    It's so difficult; I really hope you find somewhere special.

    I didn't do anything except play the scratchies and withdraw the money, like everyone else on here! I guess they must have twigged what we're doing and are tightening up?
