Mine has interfacing (I love this little angry face better than the red swearing one! )

Lol really?! Oh, waistband/ I went and got mine today, not exactly exciting stuff!!! But the floaty drape stuff I found in Boyes Darlington that ran out, well Boyes Guisborough had it! So I've got that going on too.

It used to be a big thing for me to be married first but recently OH and I have been speaking and I realised it isn't so important for me. We do wnat to get married but we are not so fussed what happens first.

That took me ages to write so there have prob been a billion posts since I started.

Yeah, I need to get some too - so much to do for sewing, so behind! Might try and get my pattern cut out at home because I have a few things to catch up on like the weird trouser hem thing so might do that in class with her help!

Sounds like a plan Tete.

If you do decide to have children without being married Wendz make sure you have a will in place. It sounds morbid but you don't have the same rights as a married couple, and you need to make sure your child is taken care of should the worst happen to either of you. NIM and I are in the process of getting wills drawn up atm just to be on the safe side, but this is as regards money and savings rather than children.

Oh and congrats on being an Auntie Poddle! Am going to try and find that number for you in a min.

Thanks for the advice Dinah. I will look at that when the time comes. I am already the person that gets a payout from the police if something happens to OH but that sounds like a good idea.

That's sensible Dinah, OH and I keep meaning to sort out a will but we always forget. We've got the house insurance signed over to each other though so we should be OK, I can't see his Mum getting sniffy about wanting his stuff and what little money he has! That said my work pension thingy (£60k if I die) is still signed over to my brother, must get it signed over to OH!

To be honest its more to protect your OH than you. If you have a child any money you have under present law would go to your parents or that child, men don't have the same right to their children as women and so on. Its really easy to get a will drawn up and for the protection it affords people its well worth doing. We only have about £8000 between our accounts, but I bet NIMs mum would fight for it!
