    nom nom nom. Dinner was loooovely, nice roast dinner.

    Am in desperate need of a haircut, mine looks like some strange helmet that flicks out. It needs trimming and thinning and my fringe needs sorting, then maybe it'll grow a bit better. On another thought, I wonder if the mini straighteners I saw in Pompey TK Maxx are available in the F'ham one, cos they'd be perfick for me

    I hope Charlie's ok BB, I feel really bad for recommending you got rid of his insurance now.

    Wannabefree, I didn't realise there was anywhere left where social services employed care staff, I thought it was all outsourced and direct payments now.

    I might look into Quark then.

    Yeh we still provide care, slowly but surely its going down the direct payment route though..

    I'm in the middle of it now, I just can't get the financial assessment done! They just give a day, not a time, and I've had to cancel it 4 times because of hospital appointments. One day I waited in all day, no-one turned up and then I got a letter saying they'd been and no-one was in. Another time I waited in all day and no-one turned up because of the weather. Anyone would think they don't want to actually spend their budget:rotfl:

    That is insane. We had a lovely wedding for over £100 guests and spent about 1/10 of that (probably less).

    *stands up nervously* Hi Everyone. My name is Katsu and I'm an MSE addict. I first realised I had a problem when I was invited to a wedding and the couple had an online honeymoon fund instead of a gift list. I looked everywhere for a discount code for it :o

    :D I had an AA type meeting image in my head for this one. :D

    We paid for our own wedding out of the £1000 Halifax share money that was given out in 1997, it covered the whole lot too:rotfl: If that hadnt come along we probably would still be living in sin:D
