or since it's so cheap and easy to change your name by deed poll do we both choose a random surname we love (which we have... found it on a gravestone!!!!) and both change it to that because it's funny?!

You should go for it! How fun would that be?! (As long as this surname you've picked out isn't 'Universe') Have a funny mental image of you two tip-toeing around a graveyard trying out all the different names on the headstones now!

whats the gravestone name?

ps dinah dooyoo pays different for the different categories now and least for the places I tend to write the most! grr

The Gravestone Name was Roderick Carmichael! What a cool name! We kept going on about being the Carmichaels after that, it may have something to do with 'Chuck' but it's just a fun name to say too! We don't really make a habit of lurking in graveyards BTW We were just on a wander one afternoon and came across the graveyard and had a look round as part of my introduction to my new town which is still ongoing!

That is a pretty fab last name! Kind of American though, well sounds it to me. I like it!! Just if you do it, don't go all crazy like Phoebe in Friends and change your name to Princess Consuela Banana Hammock Carmichael!

But I have found you the ultimate decoration for your Party! Click! Click! Amazing!

Noooooo why did you send me to the Build-a-Bear site?! I am totally sensible about not buying cuddly toys because they are essentially useless but I always convince myself that I neeeeeeed a bear from there! Haven't got one yet though but now I have to because they fit the theme! So cute!

Don't be silly about my name change.... I'm going to be Princess Flower Angel Carmichael!

This is my dress Birdie - I'm having thin spaghetti straps added to it though as everyone has strapless dresses nowadays and I wanted something a bit different - it also makes it seem more princessy in a way.

Ooooh I actually said 'Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' out loud! I LOVE it! Awwww I'm jealous! Can't wait to see pictures of you in it!

It's because you do neeeeeeed a bear from there! Have you seriously never had a Build-a-Bear? I thought everyone had!

Your dress is so pretty SM. I love the little flower detail. The spaghetti straps will make it a bit different too, and like you said slightly more princessy!

I think that by the time I added up the bear, the outfit, the accessories, a spare outfit, and another because it's just so darn cute it was way too expensive so I always managed to talk myself back into sensible world! And if I'm spending silly money on toys I'd rather have a Barbie!

Well I'd like to have wedding related updates but TBH nothing's doing. I've got no money to buy things, my friend won't take me to the Country Basket place to look at fabric and flowers and whatnot until she gets paid at the end of the month and I need her to take me as she's got a trade card thingy as it's a wholesaler. Even my little palm trees are looking very sorry for themselves, I don't think they like their pots! I don't know how I manage to kill every plant I've ever owned, I do try to keep them well!
