    At least you won't look like Wayne Rooney!:rotfl:

    Just think of the fact you can flog it on Ebay afterwards and probably get a wee bitof money for it ;)
    Well Brenny is setting up as a photographer - she did mine to help build up her portfolio... I knew my relatives would be taking 50,000 pics anyway (my brother took a mere 800!!!!) so knew there'd be pictures galore if anything went wrong but I think Brenny did brilliantly!!! We're going to get a digi frame so they can all be rotating :D

    With the pants... I bought some cheapy ones and in the end still had to go to M&S to buy decent ones... *sigh* they cost more but for a good reason!
    And remember to buy neutral and not white! White will show through, natural or skin colour won't!

    Triker I knew there would be no fooling you :rotfl:

    I'd spend £4.75 million getting the MIL removed, and the rest on a damn good party.

    I know a guy who knows a guy you know...

    Ergh.

    Some women will do anything for cash, but really Coleen...did you have to date The World's Ugliest Man?? We've all got a 'charity case' - you know, the complete swamp-donkey you dated once for some unknown reason, but you don't have to marry them!!

    You'd roll over on the 1st morning and think 'Good god, what have I done??' There's a reason for the champagne breakfast - it's to soften the blow lol
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Btw anyone know somewhere cheap to send my dress to have it dry cleaned? Everywhere is so expensive!

    Where does Brenny live? If she's close I'd love to get her for ours. She rocks!

    I thought the champagne was to take the taste away from the blow?

    Only if you're the Rooneys, in which case that was what was in those dinky little favour boxes - along with a £50 note and a mirror. No wonder it cost £5 million lol

    Oh, and Mrs T - I see you're a Pratchett fan - so was my ex hubby, and I got saddled with 'Sto-Hellit' as a last name!!! That's what the SH stands for lol.
