    I'm sure this is delicious, but I might give it a miss. Not the biggest vodka fan and it would remind me too much of my childhood habit of letting skittles dissolve in lemonade. Now that I think about it, what the heck was in that lemonade?

    Dunno, but coming from someone who has just drunk a pile of Coke, it wasn't as bad as whatever is in Coke! :eek:

    I've never heard of a pile of Coke before? Have you ever watched 'Black Books'? Reminds me of a hilarious episode when someone's trying to serve a tower of soup ;)

    Thanks to the timely introduction of the M&S 50% sale, I will be able to get my wedding outfit a healthy (or crazy) year in advance - white linen shirt, trousers and some very white shoes from the Schuh sale.

    Grand total after discounts and cashback from Quidco? Less than £53 :) Now I'm not a skinflint, but resented the concept of spending hundreds of pounds on a light suit that was only going to make me feel uncomfortable. This way I get to stay true to my relaxed personality, keep it informal and let the guests focus their admiring attention on my gorgeous OH2B!

    Apparently the average cost of a wedding in the UK is £21k... I don't theenk so ;)

    Long time no see edinburgher!

    Huge congratulations to you and OH2B, what a brilliant spontaneous proposal, and your wedding plans sounds fantastic. I agree with no to a UK wedding, would rather spend the money on other things!
