Sausage Casserole was goooooooooooooood

I love Bath Milly. Only been twice but loved the building and the strange ornamental pigs everywhere. We stopped and had an ice cream and drink in that garden bit in the centre with the deck chairs! It was really pleasent just sitting there watching the canal boats!

Ah yes it is a lovely city to live in - I did miss it when I moved away when at Uni. It's expensive though and I'd love to live near the sea so you could take the kids there for free fun - not much of that around here!!

Good luck with wedding-ness today;)

Morning Kel, hope the wedding plans went ok yesterday x

Well i found first choice to not be very forth coming AT ALL!! They just give okayish prices but there isn't any advice or help with choices or anything! They just seem like they are annoyed we are taking up their time!!! :mad:

The place we REALLY want we KNOW we cant get cheap enough for anyone else to go!! :(:(

Though we have a back up plan of somewhere in Greece that is self catering and affordable for everyone and we can get married somewhere that is really nice. But we would prefer Cyprus so are waiting on a few more prices!

It's getting to the point where i am just thinking we will get married either away on our own or wait an extra year ad do it here!!! :(:(:(:(

On a positive note i went shopping with my Mum, Aunt and Nan today. All i spent was my share of the fuel and parking and my lunch!! :j:j:j:j

I found 2 tops, a bag and a cardy that my mum has bought for my birthday. My nan and aunt got me a top and got a necklace for my siblings to give me!! So felt like i got a lot of stuff but didnt pay for anything!!

Just done £2 on surveys! Woohoo. I think doing 50p a day will be great...£15 a month will help towards exmas! Hopefully it will be more!!

DD1 went out with her friend that came to call on here today! When i came home at 7.20 she was still out. She ran in to ask if she could stay out until 8pm. We agreed and off she went. Really weird as she looks too little to be going out!!! But it is only 4 doors down in our quite cul de sac. She came back at 8.05pm and when she ran in and checked the clock she was horrified that she was 5mins late!! My baby is growing up!! DD2 wasnt too impressed with losing her sister though.

Right off to catch up with diaries!!

Thats cute about DD1 going out Kel

My friends sister got married in Cyprus (I've only just remembered sorry). It was a bit expensive so they stayed in the posh hotel they wanted the wedding in and everyone else stayed in a few cheaper ones down the road a bit.

It worked out really well as it meant that the family were very slightly split up a bit so it stopped everyone treading on each others toes but they were all near enough to meet up easily.

But one of the travel agents ought to be able to help suss this out for you quite easily - they must do it all the time. I don't understand why they aren't being more helpful.

Grrrr to the TA I really hope you can get something sorted soon, it must be so frustrating

Bless your DD and DD2 for "losing" her big sis, I'm 6 years older than my little bro so we never had any of that.

Hello all!!!

Well yesterday i went round my mums to have a final look through first choice places. We have been advise to go all inclusive as it is expensive to eat out there, though SC we are happy eating in. Trouble is SC all they ever seem to have are 2 hobs and a toaster which limits cooking. However a quick scan over our second choice in cyprus showed we had missed the fact that it said the apartments have an oven!!! Perfect.
Also we can upgrrade to HB or B+B or even flexidine when we get there.

So this is our confirmed choice of holiday. Been in to first choice who are pricing it up as a group book. Though as a back up we know that the online prices are great anyway so if she comes back more expensive and we can't get anymore money off then OH and I can just book through them so we can use the shop to talk about weddings and get everyone else to book online. So fingers crossed!!!! Plus the holiday and getting married in the gardens of a town hall in pathos comes to about the £2000 mark so should e covered by MIL and mums moneys :j

My Nan asked yesterday if she was allowed to buy my wedding dress!!!

Right onto MSE things

I really have to get my !!! in gear to list some items today as it is free listing. Went Mr T's with my list yesterday to try and spend £40 to use my £6 off voucher to use by today. I spend £41!!!! Which was everything on the list!!!! So went down to £35. Not bad as we have everything except milk and veg to last the month and are WAY off the grocery budget amount. Obviously there will be other things that crop up but not bad at all. BUT then i paid and got another £6 off a £40 spend to use by next week end!! These vouchers are genius!!! Makes me want to spend again. My mum likes a slow cooker in there for her birthday which is £17 so i only have to spend £23 to use the voucher again. So might as well!!! :D:D

I hope everyone is well. xxx

Morning Kel,

Well done on sorting the wedding, I bet you can't wait now and that was lovely of your Nan to offer to help with the dress.

Have a good Sunday (and don't spend all day ebaying!) Pen x
