Ali - opposite direction to Jordan's, or opposite direction to each other?? :rotfl: :rotfl:

Have a fantastic night Obi :j - Home Bargains had some sumo suits in recently - not sure how much they were, but definitely not more than a few quid each. I was very tempted!

Here's a couple of lucky bingo dauber thingies for you:

Afternoon all

Well, I have survived my hen night - it was a riot!! We were supposed to go for an indian (cos I love curry) but turns out there was an indian food festival on, and one of our party refused to go, as she was banking on them doing English stuff as weel. So we went to a local pub, then to bingo. Fran (the inventor of the Fran Plan) won a tenner, then because I ws wearing my Bride to Be sash and veil set, the manager sent over a free bottle of house bubbly! Plus the barmaid was new, and didn't realise you use a spirit measure for Baileys, so got lovely big glass full.

We moved onto a pub afterwards - got a drunk bloke stagger over and say ''Scuse me ove, have you just won the award for Grimsby's most gorgeous girl?' - 10 out of ten for originality, but only 7 for delivery as he was swaying quite badly lol. Then we got into Cleethorpes, where I promptly gave myself brain-freeze by drinking a frozen Sex on the Beach (being in Cleggy, there wasn't any other sort ). This was promptly followed y a flaming Sambucca, copious amounts of Archers and lemon and then some rather bizarre red alcopop.

Our little group managed to aquire a fish engineer (I know, I looked puzzled at this too) and a group of Dutch sailors in a 70s & 80's club called Flares (as you do) and basically danced the night away until a worried call from Mr Obi at 2.30am (oopsie). I had an awesome time, and dispite having alcohol poured down my throat I was still surprisingly sober, and got up this morning at 7am clear as a bell. Have been rushing round like a demented woman cleaning stuff.

Fianlly got a photo of the cake, and it's not too offensive. Veil arrived today, tiara yesterday so everything's ready for the big day. If I don't get on tomorrow to post, I'll be thinking of you all, and willing money your way.

I hope everyone's having a lovely cheap day - todays tip is to go to your bookshelf, and pick a book you've already read, and have no plans to re-read. Fire up the lappy and put it on Amazon. Just one book. You might then find you quite like the experience, won't miss the book and it may inspire you to crack on with a book clearout. Obviously we're talking about novels you've read, not the leatherbound family bible.

Hopefully I can update you all on the last minute stuff, but if I don't, the next time I post I may be a Mrs....scary.....

Hi Obi

Just in case I don't get round to posting tomorrow (I do tend to spend Friday evenings asleep!) I just wanted to say good luck for Saturday - I hope you have a really good day.

Thanks guys, starting to get a bit excited now - saw OH in his suit in Greenwoods, and he looks stunning.

So nipped on tonight, before making more lists, finishing cleaning the kitchen & bathroom. False nails are starting to get a bit loose, so might soak them off and redo- better than shedding them like some leperous dragon lady.

The boy is failing to settle, so up and down a bit, but other than that all is good. MIL picking the kids up after lunch tomorrow, so have the arvo to do the last minute bits. Still need helium tank, string and weights, plus print out some little tidbits of info about us and back them on card to put on the tables.

So I really must get on. If my green light is showing in 5 minutes time, slap me. I'm too busy to chat on here (and play bingo) all night.

Have a nice evening all!

Hi guys,

Today is not shaping up well. Got an email via facebook from an old friend. I borrowed some money off him to buy the shop, and the understanding was that The Oozing Mound Of Pestilence would pay him, as they live in the smae town. Gues what??????

He hasn't, so now I have to add £5k onto my debt amount.

I am absolutely incandescent with rage right now. The stupid barstool has just walked awat scot free, and I'm now £25k in debt. I didn;t run ths up by myself, but now I have to spend the next 8 years scrimping and saving to pay it all off. I vowed never to find him, but I'm seriously considering tracking him down and telling him to start paying his half. I haven;t run away from it, I've done my best to get it all sorted and he's sitting in his hovel smoking and drinking - probably not even working - and not a care i the world. I'm trying to bring up 2 children and fail to see why Mr Obi should have to shoulder this as well.

What's the verdict guys? Do I track down the T!tmunch and have him pay half, or do I just let it slide, add the debt and keep my nose to the grindstone for the next 10 tears? The debts all in my name, except this new loan which was an informal loan from a mate, but I can show he benefitted from this money. What's the best to do? I can't believe this dropped on me the day before my wedding.....

So popped on whilst DS is having a nap, rushing about a bit, then once the kids are with their nana I can relax a bit. It's all good though.

Hope you all have a good day - better than mine!!! But todays tip is to do some excersize today. Even if you're a horribly skinny cow, put a dvd on, or just switch on the radio, sing along and wiggle your hips whilst you do the washing up. It always makes me feel a bit better! Today's little bombshell means Dolly & The Proclaimers are going to be on full blast this arvo!!
