    Thanks all!!! :D:D:D I might go over and see my Grandad tonight and try and get things cleared up. If he doesnt want to go i would prefer he didnt. I really want him to give me away but if not my Stepdad is on hand anyway.


    I was torn between a plain band wedding ring and ones with stones or patterns. But now i think a plain band is the way to go. Firstly it is cheaper and secondly i think then it won't take anything away from my engagement ring. OH wants a platinum ring. A bit more expensive but i am sure i can allow that with the fact i will have two rings!! :D

    I think plain bands it will be!! :j:j:j

    Hoping to hear back from first choice tomorrow. They are seeing if they can match a cheaper quote we have been given!! They said it shouldn't be a problem but needed to check with the weddings team first. So could be booking it tomorrow!!!!

    also drumroll....................................................................

    The chocolate body wash is now gone!!!!!!! You can all now sleep easy!!! :rotfl:I am a happy showerer (if there is such a word) again!!!

    If we book it tomorrow it mean doing a LOT of savings but balancing it with paying things off. Going to be tough. It may end up being that we kind of cancel xmas and buy only for immediate family. Also hoping OH gets his extra day back in a few months which will help a lot.

    I think i may have to try harder in my search for a second job.

    Arranging a camping trip tomorrow for middle of June. Cheap trip though a bit of fuel to get there. I am meeting up with some online friends!! :eek: They are women who have the same age children as dd2 (all born sept05) and we have chatted online on baby forums for 4 years and are all friends on facebook. A lot of them have had meets but i haven't being so far down here. So my first meeting with them all! Will be kind of strange!! Camping for 2 nights all together!! Should be at least 15 tents!!

    The rest of the year i hope to entertain ourselves on our fave days out that are free/cheap around the devon countryside and beaches. And also going to places using our tesco vouchers!!! That will be our 2010!

    Food is going well. We will hopefully have a fair bit towards June mealplan. Made chicken chasseur the other night with doesnt crop up in our meal plan again this month but managed to do another to freeze two meals. So that is 2 nights sorted. OH did Corned beef hash tonight and made two lots to have again this month!! SPent £156 now as i had to get a kilo of beef yesterday. A kilo of beef with a lot of veg should allow me to batch cook 3 nights worth of beef casserole. We have it on the mealplan another time in may so one more meal left over for June! Doing alright. Plus have another meat extra in the freezer to do fajitas throughout june (once a week)

    Right off to bed i think as tomorrow may be a scary day booking up the wedding!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    *crosses fingers* FC will match the prices :D
    You're so organised with your meals plans :) I'm rubbish with that sort of thing, we just decide what we're having right before it gets cooked.

    Your camping trip wil be fun xx
