Hi all

Well done Paul and Mrsinvisible for paying off a cc :T:T


Psycho - You should know by now that cc companies will try to squeeze the last penny out of you before they let you go!!! Hope you get to finally pay it off now!

Ouchie to euro - I hate the dentist and I know how painful wisdom teeth are too!!! I remember looking like a hamster for a few days after I had an impacted one removed!!

Hugs to COMP - hope you both manage to sort your differences out and come to a compromise x

What are you fighting about?!

*rant alert*

The usual - his parents. When we booked the church (I'm catholic and he is a lapsed CofE so we've booked my church) his parents threw a tantrum because they weren't consulted. When we took them to see our reception venue on Sunday, OH's dad commented that we should look into having the ceremony at the church across the road which is CofE. He'd forgotten that the ceremony was booked, despite all the arguments.

Every decision, they have criticised. The fact that we're not having a fruit cake (neither of us like it), the fact that we're not having a classic car (my dad is in a wheelchair so would struggle), the fact we didn't chose the venue they wanted (£5,000 just to hire it), the fact that we're not having a string quarter (!!!!!)...

It just seems that nothing is good enough or expensive enough. My mum on the other hand is proud as punch at how much we're getting for our budget. OH just can't see that all the sly little digs really get to you after a while. The worst one was when we chose our venue, OH's mum said "well I can't see my family going to a place like that".

Thanks guys. I don't mind all the individual things at the dentist, but when so many of them come together at once, it's a bit much.

More concerned about the cost of getting this wisdom tooth removed now. It was covered by my work's health policy in the UK for the last one, but I'm not sure it's covered by my insurance here (minimal amount of dental covered).

Then again, as it will be a surgery, it might fall under the surgical category instead.

COMP - Sorry you're future in laws are being a pain. And very judgmental! Just remember that is your and your OH's wedding, and no one elses!

Even if they offered to pay for the whole thing, it still wouldn't give them the right to dictate the wedding, as that should be a gift from them, not something that comes with conditions.

Ignore the comment about the venue. I bet it's lovely and I bet the rest of his family will love it too. And if they don't? Well, the ungrateful b'ggers can just b'gger off then, can't they!

HUGS!

They did offer to pay... with conditions such as chosing the venue and the food. That's what's frustrating. My parents have given us a big chunk of the money and have said "do what you want with it"

It's not that I don't like his parents, I just wish they'd back off. She had a wedding folder before I did!!!

Euro, are you not still able to come back over and have NHS treatment? I had my wisdom tooth surgically removed a few years ago for about £80 or something...

No, I haven't been paying NI contributions since I left. Which is something I need to rectify actually.

Without that, I'm not eligible. Otherwise, I could get an E106 form (or something like that) and then pass the costs onto the NHS.

To be honest though, if I can keep up with the payments for the private insurance, I'd rather keep it. For the quick, fast service, rather than long waiting lists.

I remember trying to get my back sorted via NHS in the UK. 2 years on and I was still waiting, with no improvement. So, I checked the work private policy, it was covered so went private and was sorted within 4 months! lol

I don't know why parents think they can impose conditions on money when it's supposed to be given as a gift. If you were under 18, I could understand, they would be wanting to make sure you didn't waste it or lose it etc. But, as an adult, they have to understand that once they've given it to you, it then belongs to you and so you can as you wish with it.

I'm bet your glad you didn't accept their offer now!

In the meantime, deep breaths and lots of tea (perhaps with some whisky in it! ).

Sorry for your hassles Clearing, I hope things don't escalate and they end up doing their up most to ruin your big day

I would tell them firmly but politely that you (as in you and OH) are extremely happy with the decisions that you've made and your big day is going to be just the way you want it :T weddings aren't about money their about commitment blah blah blah

If 'her family won't go to a place like that' then so be it...don't let it get you down because you (I imagine) will be nervous enough and don't need a dragon breathing down your neck in the run up to or on your wedding day. :cool:

Let her have her wee tantrums and talk about you behind your back but keep your head held high and hand her a plate of smartprice sausages rolls at the reception to get your own back!!:D

JUST PLEASE DON'T HAVE KIDS...NOTHING YOU DO WILL EVER BE 'RIGHT'!! :rotfl:
